Keynotes & Workshops
Talks and hands-on sessions that move a room past the AI panic — from "how do we catch cheaters" to "how do we build judgment." Every session is customized to your audience's experience level and the real pressures they're under.
Featured keynote
The Rhetoric Machine
Why the real AI skill isn't using it — it's judging it.
Every school is debating the wrong question. AI is a rhetoric machine — persuasion and framing at scale — and the urgent skill isn't prompting, it's discernment. Told from the chair of a teacher who uses AI daily and still grades hard for original thinking.
Other talks & workshop topics
What you walk away with
Practices teachers use the next morning, a framework for judging AI output, and a plan for your specific context — not just inspiration.
Formats
60-minute keynote, half-day, full-day, or a multi-session series. In-person or virtual. Conferences, faculty meetings, or student assemblies.
Who it's for
Conference audiences, whole staffs, departments, and early-college / dual-credit programs at any experience level.

Strategic Advisory & AI Adoption
For leaders navigating AI at the policy level. I work alongside your team to write policy your board can stand behind, design a rollout that won't stall, and build the internal capacity so you don't need a consultant forever.
What it looks like
Regular strategy sessions with your leadership, policy and document review, staff facilitation, and steady guidance as your plan evolves. An extension of your team, not a one-time visitor.
What you get
A clear, context-specific AI adoption roadmap, board-ready policy language, and internal capacity that outlasts the engagement.
Who it's for
Superintendents, curriculum and instruction directors, principals, deans, and early-college / dual-credit leads responsible for how AI lands.
Typical engagements run 3–6 months, scoped to your needs.
Project-based
Course & Curriculum AI-Readiness
Most assignments written before 2023 quietly fall apart under AI — and detection software won't save them. I review your courses through a rhetorician's lens and rebuild the work so it measures thinking a machine can't fake.
AI-Readiness Audit
Send me a course or assignment set. You get a prioritized report: which tasks collapse under AI, where judgment can be designed back in, standards alignment, and concrete fixes ranked by impact.
Curriculum Redesign
Hands-on rebuilding of assignments and rubrics so they're AI-resilient and judgment-centered — process visible, voice required, thinking rewarded. Start from scratch or adapt what you have.
Typical audit turnaround: 2–4 weeks. Redesign projects scoped individually.
Specialist track
Early-College & P-TECH Consulting
Standing up or strengthening an early-college or P-TECH program is its own animal — dual-credit logistics, college partnerships, and first-gen students who've never set foot on a campus. I do this work as a program lead, so you get someone who's solved these problems in a real building, not a slide deck.
ECHS / P-TECH Planning & First-Year Institute
Plan, launch, or sharpen an early-college high school or P-TECH program — and design the first-year institute that gets incoming students college-ready from day one. Built from running one, not reading about it.
TSI 2.0 Readiness & Workshops
Get students testing-ready for the Texas Success Initiative and into dual-credit sooner. Student-facing workshops plus a readiness plan your team can run with every new cohort.
Early-College Leaders Network
A peer network for early-college and P-TECH leads to trade what works, share resources, and stop reinventing the wheel every year. Forming now — founding members welcome.
Grounded in leading an early-college program day to day — bilingual, first-generation, dual-credit reality included.
On your own time
Self-Paced Training
A practical course for teachers on using AI for judgment, not dependence — built from real classroom use, not vendor theory. Short modules made for people who don't have a spare hour.
Status
In development and rolling out cohort by cohort. The foundational module will be free, so you can see the approach before you commit.
What's inside
Judging AI output, designing assignments AI can't ghost-write, building a personal classroom policy, and prompting with discernment.
