Along with facilitating professional learning in the Richmond School District, I am sometimes seconded/released to other districts to present at their professional learning events. I also present at provincial, national and international conferences. I am curating some of these presentations here to share with others.
Many of my presentations involve multiple photographs and videos which make the file sizes very large and difficult to share. When indicated “text slides” or “REDUCED” I have taken out many of the photographs and just included the text or diagrams. Just be mindful that an important part of the story is missing without the images and the conversation that goes with them.
A selection of presentations are shared here:

September 2024
NCTM Annual Meeting and Exhibition, Chicago
Northwest Mathematics Conference, Whistler, BC
Much of the following presentation will be hard to follow without the accompanying oral explanations that were part of the conference presentation but I wanted to share the slides here for those that attended the session in Whistler – thank you.
