I am a person who believes it is time to be honest about the future of education. I am not afraid to provide HONEST insights into the quality of various learning platforms and the use of Generative AI in education.
Qualifications
I think the cliff notes version is I liked school so much I went to school to learn how to make school more fun for other people so that I could keep being in school forever.
I am a quantitative analyst and psychometrician with a PhD in Measurement and Quantitative Methods from the College of Education. I also have a B.S. in Physics and an AA in Psychology.
I specialize in instrument development, implementation of ML and AI in education, and in quantitative determination of successful outcomes in both classification systems and generative output.
I have helped to design NGSS aligned science curriculum and assessments with the CESE project-based learning intervention & CREATE4STEM Institute. I have lead investigations into quantitative methods to ensure quality in classification algorithms and quantifying engagement in online learning environments. I have reviewed numerous learning platforms. I have ensured content coverage and standards alignment for the development of 11 Advanced Placement Courses in History, Science, and Social Science. And I have studied the use generative AI in multiple tasks related to the nearly 1000 topics across those 11 courses.
What am I Doing Here Instead of Instagram?
I am tired of social media trends and the toxicity of the comments sections calling for violence. The anger, hateful rhetoric, and propaganda masquerading as news are just not giving.
But I still wish to share my knowledge and my experience with others. The human desire to communicate the story of the self is both timeless and universal. So I am off to find positive spaces, reading different walls and FYPs: Like this graffiti so old we call it a petroglyph.
