So you're ready to be an Expert?

I've got you!

Let’s get real for a second, friend

SOUND FAMILIAR?

  • Do you find yourself picking Essential Questions that seem effective, but then fall flat with students?

  • Have you ever felt like you just can't quite get the wording right for what you need to teach?

  • Are you getting decent enough EQs, but having a hard time maintaining momentum throughout the unit?

  • Do you feel discouraged after spending hours upon hours lesson planning only to feel stuck in the same place over and over again?

WELL, YOU SEE—I FELT THE SAME WAY.

Which is why I spent years experimenting, tweaking, testing, and trying method after method until I finally distilled this strategy down to a concrete process. And for you, a clearly committed educator, I’m sharing my two-part Essential Question Expert Masterclass at a special discount.

REPEAT AFTER ME

I am creative.

I am an excellent educator.

I am committed to my craft.

I can—and will—learn how to develop units that challenge, inspire, and ignite my students.

INTRODUCING

THE ESSENTIAL QUESTION EXPERT MASTERCLASS

My comprehensive course to developing Essential Questions that challenge, inspire, and ignite your students in every unit of your curriculum.

⬇️ Let’s take a look at what’s inside ⬇️

01 THE BASICS

We begin the Masterclass covering the basics and getting you comfortable with Essential Questions.

02 QUESTION STEMS

Next, we'll cover the importance of using question stems to scaffold the difficulty of questions and the way they manifest themselves in terms of assessment.

03 THE "HOTNESS" CHECK

EQs only work when they're SUPER engaging for students.  I'll take you through a quick process to figure out whether or not the question is “hot” enough to use with students.

04 EQs IN ACTION

Then, we need to see the whole picture.  We'll take a look at how the EQ functions throughout the unit.

05 THREADING THROUGH THE UNIT

And finally, we'll take your EQs through an entire unit:  from Gateway, to evidence tracker, to assessment.  This is how it's done!

 It's about loving learning again.

I’m not holding back and I’m not keeping secrets; this is the real deal, designed to walk you through tried-and-true strategies in small, bite-sized steps.
