This website was created to share my passion for education.  I just can’t help myself. I see nearly everything in life as an opportunity to learn, and I compulsively want to share that new knowledge with others.  Teaching and learning go hand in hand, and I just can’t stop doing either!  

Teaching in American public schools is hard right now. As a professor in an acclaimed teacher prep program I see the challenges first hand. Inauthentic learning opportunities and an over emphasis on data and testing have turning knowledge acquisition into a commodity and sucked the joy of learning.

Children aren’t happy, and neither are teachers. Parents fall somewhere between underwhelmed to down right fed up.

The website name Can’t Stop Teaching was selected to honor my addiction to education, but it is also a call to action.  As a social studies educator, I firmly believe in the importance of educating children about their world. Learning can (and should) be a transformative experience. Our society can’t afford to keep messing this up. To quote Fredrick Douglas, “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.” How many children are currently being broken by their public school experiences?

I want to be the change I wish to see in the world. Please see the services I have available to learn more about my work.  

Let’s do better together.
