Hi, I’m Remi.
I’m an academic leader, keynote speaker, author, and consultant with 20 years of experience helping learners and their communities to collaborate and thrive.
Let’s remi(x)learning together.
I serve as Associate Director of Faculty Development and Applied Research with Learning Innovation and Lifetime Education at Duke University. I’m also Associate Director of the Center for Applied Research and Design in Transformative Education where I lead faculty collaborations, direct grant-funded research, and manage a multifaceted research agenda.
I earned my PhD in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Prior to joining Duke, I was Program Leader and tenured Associate Professor of Learning, Design, and Technology at the University of Colorado Denver School of Education and Human Development. I began teaching 20 years ago as a public school teacher at Middle School 22 in the South Bronx.
Keynote Speaker
From Durban to Denver, I have presented dynamic keynote and plenary addresses onsite and online for academic conferences and educational events.
“Your keynote truly made a meaningful impact on our teaching community.”
Author
I’ve written two books, both published by MIT Press, and have authored and contributed to over 50 peer-reviewed publications about learning, literacy, technology, and educational change.
Skilled Facilitator
I facilitate human-centered, collaboratively designed learning experiences that help schools and organizations address complex problems of practice and enact strategies for lasting change.
“We’ve been receiving emails from faculty members sharing how they are applying these new concepts in their classrooms.”
Trusted Consultant
As a consultant, I share hands-on expertise about leadership, organizational change, technology, and professional learning with K-12 public and independent schools, as well as higher education institutions and other learning organizations.
My work as a consultant includes research and program evaluation efforts for projects sponsored by the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, UNICEF, and the Asian Development Bank, among other clients and funders. These efforts have taken me to Canada, the Czech Republic, Ireland, Jamaica, Oman, South Africa, and Switzerland where I’ve designed and evaluated educational interventions in partnership with students, educators, and community organizations.
