Consultation services for education researchers and educators.
Every researcher could be better.
Research is a human endeavor. The best way to improve your research skills is through intentional coaching and mentoring, as grounded in your projects and interests. Bring your voice to our scholarly conversation, and ask for the help you need to grow.
I love supporting growth in our community. I love fostering excellence in researchers at any stage in their careers.
How can I help?
Ongoing meetings for focused growth
All researchers can grow their skills and improve their projects. I’ve coached and mentored hundreds of educators and researchers at all stages. Let’s focus on you and your project: what are you struggling with? what growth do you want to experience?
Depending on your needs, I can serve as an advisory board member, project evaluator, dissertation committee member, critical friend, or research coach.
Let’s figure out your needs and my capacity.
Research design and project planning
How could your project be better? My favorite time to interact with your project is at the beginning, when you’re conceptualizing what to do and how to do it. I want to help your projects engage your passion, serve your community, and generate new knowledge for all. A strong research design coupled to an iterative project plan is your project’s best chance for excellence.
Along the way, you may find that changing circumstances mean you need to pivot your project midstream. This is normal, if frustrating. Figuring out how to pivot can be hard, but you probably have more options than you realize.
Lets talk through your next project (or your next pivot).
Preparing grant proposals and publishing papers
Many researchers struggle to share their work. Maybe you’re thinking about a paper, but you can’t quite get words on the page and the argument to flow. Maybe you’d like to write a grant proposal, but you’re not sure how to structure it or what to include. With my collaborators, I’ve authored over 100 peer-reviewed papers in STEM education. As a co-Director of PEER, I’ve pushed another 100+ towards publication. When I served as a program officer at the NSF, I talked to hundreds of PIs about their projects and our solicitations. I love this work so much.
Lets talk through your next paper or proposal idea.
Project evaluation
Every project needs evaluation to see how (and in what ways) it is meeting its goals. The best project evaluation is timely, clear, and actionable. For small projects, I can guide you to setting up a reasonable internal evaluation plan. For larger ones, I can act as an external evaluator to give you the feedback your project needs for success.
Let’s build a plan to get you what you need so that you can make good decisions.
