INQUIRY & NONFICTION
designing classrooms where curiosity leads the way
Reflections on Autonomy and Inquiry
Prisms of Inquiry is a six-spectrum framework that helps educators shift learning from teacher-led instruction to student-directed inquiry. The model provides a clear, scalable pathway for increasing student ownership while preserving academic rigor.
Developed from the foundations of Tangents, a memoir reflecting on a decade in education, the Prisms of Inquiry are grounded in classroom practice, research, and philosophical reflection on how students learn best.

I Hate Graduations
A Graduation Speech
In 2022, the day I announced I was leaving the classroom, the class of 2023 asked me to return the following year to speak at their graduation.
I was humbled that despite my departure, they were requesting one last lecture.
This is that speech that provides a better preface to TANGENTS than any other I have written.
