School Visits and Workshops

I love to visit schools and share a passion for writing, nature, project based learning, creativity and student activism. I am available to lead workshops on:

• Writing for Change: using your creativity to better the world (for teens and intergenerational audiences)
• Tell Your Science Story: a workshop to inspire kids to observe, describe, and share information about the natural world around them.
• Using Picture Books to Ignite Project Based Learning: for educators interested in using picture books as an entry event into creating exciting projects
• Your idea. I would love to collaborate around your students or schools needs.
