For Educators
I write for educators who want to integrate more opportunities for thinking and creativity into the lessons they already teach while working within real classroom constraints.
This space brings together my educator-focused books and writing, all centered on practical ways to support student thinking without adding programs or rewriting curriculum.
Before becoming a full-time author, I spent years working in classrooms, designing and teaching lessons with real students, real standards, and real constraints. I later worked as an engineer, an experience that shaped how I think about systems, design decisions, and working within constraints.
My work with educators focuses on small, intentional instructional shifts that invite deeper thinking and creative decision-making without disrupting what already works. I’m less interested in new programs or frameworks than in helping teachers see where opportunities for thinking already exist.
Everything I write for educators grows out of classroom experience and observation, not idealized theory.
Books for Educators
Creativity Reclaimed
A concise, classroom-grounded guide to designing opportunities for creative thinking within everyday lessons.
Start with Creativity Reclaimed if you’re looking for practical ways to integrate deeper thinking and creativity into everyday lessons without adding programs or rewriting curriculum.
In addition to books, I occasionally write short pieces for educators exploring thinking, creativity, and classroom practice. These posts focus on practical ideas, instructional decisions, and questions that come up in real classrooms. New writing is added over time, and all posts are grounded in classroom experience rather than theory. You can find this writing under On Writing & Teaching, where I add new classroom-focused posts over time.
