"The exchange and sharing of culture is positive, but it requires responsibility—to the peoples the music comes from and to those in our teaching and learning communities."

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

I'm available for professional development on topics including culturally responsive pedagogy, culturally generative pedagogy, culturally responsive leadership, and the dismantling and mitigation of White supremacy in music education. For more examples of sessions I have presented, click here

"I attended the session “Full Disclosure: Exposing and Confronting White Supremacy in Music Education” and I can say without question that it changed the entire way I think of myself as an educator, and the way I teach my students. The session made me reflect on my role in the power structure as a music educator and what I can do to better empower and serve all of my students. I am so grateful to have been in attendance!"
