@ Googleplex

I was deeply honored to deliver the keynote address at the Google Education Summit on the Google campus. I spoke about the incredible ways AI can make formative assessment a daily reality, bring Universal Design for Learning into every lesson, and amplify critical thinking when used strategically. I also emphasized that, even as technology expands what’s possible, the teacher remains at the center of learning—guiding, designing, and humanizing instruction.

@ Westport Public Schools, Westport CT

I delivered a keynote and led two days of teacher and administrator training and workshops, capped by a parent night, for Westport Public Schools in Westport, CT. Together we explored the nuances of AI in education, examined practical frameworks, and reviewed real classroom use cases that support instruction, assessment, and equity. Feedback was overwhelmingly positive—educators and parents appreciated the clear guidance, actionable strategies, and thoughtful discussion about responsible, classroom-ready AI implementation.
