Professional Development

I am passionate about sharing ideas, best practices, resources, and research with educators across the country.

Let’s connect and learn together! If you’re looking for research-based professional development that you can immediately implement with your students, you’re in the right place! Book Christina for in-person conferences, district and school PD workshops, virtual sessions, lesson modeling, and coaching consultation work!

“The most valuable resource all teachers have is each other. Without collaboration, our growth is limited to our own perspectives.”
