I teach courses in the School of Education and the Hutton Honors College. The latter courses include "Failure, and How We Can Learn From It" and "What Is a Good Education?"
My scholarship explores the purposes of education and how we can learn not only in classrooms but from life more broadly. I'm currently working on a book about navigating failure across the full span of our lives.
I have also spent the last 18 years focusing on the phenomenon of homeschooling--its various philosophies, practices, and policies. Toward that end, I serve as Managing Director for the International Center for Home Education Research (ICHER.org), a nonpartisan organization which provides expert information and analysis on homeschooling research for journalists, policymakers, and scholars. I have written a book on the topic: Write These Laws on Your Children: Inside the World of Conservative Christian Homeschooling.
