A scientist and leading science consultant to schools and educational systems across the nation, Sheila is an innovative and dedicated advocate for science education. Her passions and work in the STEM field have led her to advise and collaborate with an incredible roster of organizations and initiatives, all in service of improving the quality and accessibility of science instruction for all students.
We guide schools through high-quality science curriculum adoption, ensuring teachers have the support, tools, and confidence to bring NGSS-aligned instruction to life. From launch to long-term sustainability, we help build coherent, student-centered science programs.
We partner with site and district leaders to strengthen their vision for strong science teaching. Through strategic planning, capacity building, and ongoing coaching, leaders learn to cultivate the systems, culture, and instructional coherence needed for science to thrive.
We design and facilitate hands-on, research-aligned professional learning that strengthens teacher practice. Educators deepen their understanding of sense-making, phenomena-based instruction, and equitable science teaching — while building the confidence to implement new strategies immediately.
Sheila delivers engaging, energizing keynotes that connect research, practice, and real classroom experience. Her talks inspire educators to reimagine what’s possible in science education and provide practical insights to move instruction forward with clarity and purpose.
