As a facilitator and speaker, I've designed workshops on a number of different topics: assessment & grading, active learning, AI in education, course design, accessibility, and more. These workshops and webinars can be tailored towards a math classroom, but typically I will co-present with a colleague from another discipline for more general audiences. I'm happiest when I'm developing something new to meet the goals of a particular group.
A few of my overarching goals when developing a presentation or workshop are to:
create a space where all participants can be experts,
create a space where participants can be skeptical or critical in a constructive way,
provide tangible ideas and resources that can be implemented immediately, and
model effective facilitation and teaching.
You'll find a listing of a few workshops and presentations I've given below. If you're interested in learning more about my workshops and presentations, feel free to reach out at kspoon@sdccd.edu.
My rates vary depending on presentation modality, topic, and audience. However, general compensation for virtual webinars is $300-500 and general compensation for in-person workshops is $1500-3000.
