I am:

recognized as an international leader in teaching in higher education because I foster the implementation of effective teaching strategies that are practical, evidence-based, best practices and can be used in all higher education including online teaching. These strategies promote active learning, equity, and student engagement leading to improvement in both teaching, increased learning and student success.


a sought-after consultant at higher education institutions and presenter at higher education institutions, conferences globally on the topics of effective teaching strategies, assessment of student learning outcomes, and curriculum development and review. My presentations are interactive and engage the audience to use practical ideas. Participants gain usable teaching strategies, revise how they teach to promote greater student success and learning improvement, and learn to conduct meaningful assessments of students, teaching and programs.


I facilitate all faculty to teach successfully using evidence-based practices, especially learning-centered teaching. When faculty use these practices, improvement occurs both with teaching and student learning. I offer onboarding experiences that allow new teachers to use effective teaching strategies right from the start. 


I can assist your faculty and administrators to conduct assessments that meet accreditation standards as well as leading to real changes. I can help you assess student learning outcomes, faculty, and educational programs for improvement. I effectively educate faculty and administrators to value the assessment of students, faculty, and educational programs for improvement and accreditation. I show faculty how to collect meaningful assessment data and use the data to make improvements. I collaborate with faculty and staff to successfully complete the self-study process for accreditation.


I am a consultant on curriculum review, development and revision. Together we can map your curriculum to identify gaps, overlaps and plan a better curriculum.


I am acclaimed author of three books on teaching, learning and assessment in higher education 


With twenty years of directing a Teaching and Learning Center, a center of one person, I can mentor new directors and help solo directors work through challenging situations.
