LINK Framework

Collaborating with learning scientists to construct a working model for interdisciplinary synthesis.

Alongside researchers at Harvard Graduate School of Education, I co-created a model for responsible, non-expert interdisciplinary inquiry that analyzed research and communication best practices in two phases: synthesis for self and synthesis for others.

This work led to the development of the LINK project and resources, which was implemented in several undergraduate general studies courses across Harvard.

HILT Program for Responsible Engagement with Science

Creating an award-winning course on research literacy at Harvard Graduate School of Education.

Using insights from both the TILT and LINK projects, I constructed and taught a course to aid graduate students in developing the skills necessary to responsibly and effectively analyze research and scholarship, with an emphasis on non-expert applications.

The course was offered through Dr. Todd Rose’s “Educational Neuroscience” course from 2013-2015. In 2015, it was selected as a Spark Grant recipient by the Harvard Initiative of Learning & Teaching with the goal of scaling it university-wide.

“Knowing Better” Workshops

"Knowing Better" Workshops

Creating workshops for educators, policymakers, and the general public.

Using the TILT framework, I designed a six-part workshop featuring lectures, case studies, frameworks, and interactive exercises. These workshops were presented at conferences, universities, and institutions nationwide, including Learning & the Brain, Emerson College, Harvard University, and several nonprofit organizations.

These materials are now being translated into experiential resources called “Knowing Better” through The Plenary, Co.

TILT Framework

Developing a framework for contemporary information literacy.

With education researcher, Maya Bialik, and educator, Andrew Watson, I built the “TILT (Twenty-first century Information Literacy Tools)” framework. It synthesizes scholarship from across fields to identify the six key skills and dispositions for effectively navigating today’s information ecosystems.

The framework was featured in “Four-Dimensional Learning”, a book published by the Center for Curriculum Redesign.
