Keynote Speaking

Keynotes and Workshops That Get Educators Moving, Not Just Nodding

Your audience will leave the room talking. About AI, about what it means for them, and about what to do next.

Most AI speakers give you the vision. I give you the vision AND the Monday morning plan.

My talks are built on what I see working (and failing) in real classrooms, every week. I don't present research I read. I present lessons I taught.

What Your Audience Takes Away

Practical tools, not just inspiration

Every talk includes at least three AI tools or frameworks your audience can try the following week. I demo them live.

A speaker who was in the classroom that morning

I teach every week. The examples are from this term, not from a case study I read. Your audience can tell the difference.

Conversations that continue after the session

The best measure of a talk is what people discuss over coffee afterwards. I aim for debates, not polite applause.

Talk Topics

A practical framework for school leaders ready to move beyond discussion into action. Covers governance, staff development, student policies, and implementation planning.

AI in the Classroom: What Actually Works

Real tools, real lessons, real results from my own teaching practice. Your staff will leave with tools they can try immediately.

03

AI Literacy for the Whole Community
