Speaking & Professional Development
Dr. Agarwal presents keynotes and workshops for thousands of educators in K-12 and higher education around the world. When she facilitates professional development, she practices what she preaches.
Dr. Agarwal’s keynotes and workshops are:
Highly interactive, with dedicated time to explore and experience research-based strategies from her book, Powerful Teaching: Unleash the Science of Learning.
Far from “sit and get.” She models research-based teaching strategies throughout the presentation. Educators experience evidence-based strategies first-hand and they retain more from professional development, too.
Beyond “one and done.” Workshops include a follow-up discussion about successes, challenges, and next steps. Dr. Agarwal encourages longer-term collaborations (e.g., monthly virtual conversations or quarterly workshops).
Customized for your organization based on content area, student level, and instructional setting
Formats include:
A 30-60 minute in-person and virtual keynotes
A 60 minute live virtual Q&A session via Zoom
A 1-3 hour interactive workshop
A one-day or multi-day in-depth workshop
