The Learning Code Blog Posts

I dedicate my working life to empowering learners.

My top-level professional goal is to use antiracist learning science to help people thrive. One way I do this is by teaming up with a group of like-minded educators to create a learning community and media platform called The Learning Code.

The Learning Code exists to help college students make learning meaningful, achievable, and purposeful. Our community is designed to help you develop habits of strategic deep learning. We do so by engaging in dialog about learning principles and practices. We also work to highlight the power and wisdom in your lived experiences. We believe that you can learn anything and thrive in any college classroom. We want to be part of a team of people that help you develop sophisticated learning practices. Our hope is that you can leverage your learning skills to achieve your academic, career, and personal goals in college and beyond

This project currently features a blog, a YouTube channel, and a PodCast. As of this writing (on Wednesday 1/27/2021), our team is publishing one new blog post per week on Sundays at 6pm. We also host a selection of YouTube shows and publish other media. A great way to get in contact with our team is to read our blog posts, watch our YouTube videos, and comment on our work in those spaces. We do our best to engage with our community and are excited to hear from you. We want to empower you to develop your learning skills and work to be the change you want to see in the world.

Below are the articles I’ve written for The Learning Code.
