Hi! I'm Stacy.

I’ve been an educator for most of my life. Teaching dances to my friends on the playground during recess, coaching in my teenage years and then teaching high school since 2007. I have taught Physical Education, Dance, Drama, AVID, English for Multilingual Learners and lead in a variety of capacities. Currently wear a ridiculous number of hats - English teacher for MLs, PD coordinator, technology facilitator, instructional coach and Student Equity Council Advisor. I lead AI workshops for educators outside of my "day job", write a blog on AI for the Krause Center for Innovation and even support rising teachers in the teacher credential program at Notre Dame de Namur University in Belmont, CA.

I'm also a deep thinker (and mom of 3 littles!) who believes education should feel human, not standardized. I absolutely love creating meaningful learning experiences for students AND adults where people feel valued, supported, and empowered to thrive.

Whether I’m leading a workshop, testing out a new tool, or collaborating to solve systems-level problems, I’m always asking: "How can we make school better, for everyone?"

My AI philsophy in a nutshell:

People > Platforms
Coaching > Catching
Values > Convenience

Note on AI use: I use AI to help me organize my brain dumps and extend my ideas. I have used AI not only to help me dream big and articulate those dreams more clearly, but to stress test my thoughts, consider alternatives and see things from multiple perspectives. I find the formatting AI helps with to be clear and easy to understand, but I understand that sometimes the immediate thought is that AI must have generated the whole thing. I assure you that the vision of this program, the things I plan to teach and the languge used on this website and in the program are a direct result of empathy interviews, teacher surveys and deep listening in this space. This program is my response to the pain points I hear repeated most often. AI has helped me package these ideas so it's a bit more concise and to the point. 🙂
