We work as a team of mentors for teachers that are part of the Teaching with Primary Sources Teachers Network - affiliated with the Library of Congress. I develop posts, albums and articles that encourage thoughtful, creative and meaningful ways to bring history alive through primary sources.

Inquiry Schools works with educators, parents and students to create and support inquiry-driven, project-based schools with a focus on using modern tools. Inquiry Schools believes that we must marry the best educational ideas of the past with the tools of the world we live in today and a vision for the future to create schools that are authentic, vigorous and empowering for all members of the community.At Inquiry Schools, we work to create modern schools, in and of our time, for our time, for the children.As Executive Director I serve as the main driver in our work in New School Development, School Transformation and Professional Development.

Thrilled to have time to work directly with teachers in their schools, speak with them at conferences and consult with projects pushing the envelope on making education better.
