People matter. A more just tomorrow is possible.

Teaching

I teach the law of higher education to people who will spend their careers applying it under pressure, usually to a student sitting in front of them, usually without time to consult anyone. So my courses are built backward from the hardest calls rather than forward from the case law. The point is not to produce students who can recite a standard. It is to produce practitioners who can recognize the moment when the standard and the right thing have come apart, and who know what to do next.

Why this matters for institutions

Teaching keeps me current on the law rather than current on my memory of it. It also means that when I design professional development for a division, I am building curriculum rather than assembling a workshop. Those are different skills, and the difference shows up about six months later, when people are either still using what they learned or they are not.
