My Approach
I am direct, passionate about curriculum, and tenaciously curious.
I use Critical Reflection to help design curriculum that is empowering, liberating, and genuinely fulfilling for educators and, by extension, their students.
Critical Reflection practices can apply to any educational endeavor. All curricula has the potential to be refreshing, meaningful, and effective and I specialize in getting it there.
Meet Julie
Growing up with undiagnosed ADHD, Julie often found herself academically paralyzed. Her expectation that she should be able to learn like her peers crippled her, because she couldn't. Once she received her diagnosis, she allowed herself to explore new ways of learning and she thrived, even in an Ivy League setting.
Giving herself permission to be curious about everything, even when it was difficult, changed her life. Curiosity gave her access to success, self knowledge, and innovation that wouldn't have otherwise been possible. This is at the heart of her teaching and it is what brought her to the Critical Reflection work she does today.
"Julie is a natural educator and has the ability to zoom in and out with ease when it comes to curriculum and instruction to see all of the details that are needed, as well as the bigger picture"
