Micki provides quality professional development focused on place-based learning, project-based learning, culturally responsive teaching strategies, and supporting schools in forging authentic community partnerships.

Place-based learning is a culturally responsive pedagogy that is transdisciplinary, cross cultural, and intergenerational.

In addition, she has consulted with schools in China, Australia, Guatemala, Russia, and the United Kingdom in adopting pedagogical practices that utilize place-based and project-based learning.
