I speak about the systems behind educational improvement: how we measure implementation, make administrative data usable, and design fairer ways to learn from writing and student choices. This page collects delivered talks with a public, attributable resource.
Slide files appear here only after accuracy, rights, and collaborator review. A conference listing alone is not treated as permission to post a deck.

A note on revisions
If an accuracy review materially changes a delivered analysis, I withdraw the old public artifact while the corrected version is under review. That is why some presentations listed in my CV do not yet have slides here.
