Projects

Welcome to my special projects page! This is the spot where I’ll share some of the new directions my thinking and teaching are taking me.

Check out GirlTips: bite-sized advice for girls and women on how to navigate difficult friendships and communicate with class. GirlTips have a big following, and they’re being used to start conversations with girls around the country. Watch this space for lesson plans you can use with GirlTips.

BFF 2.0 is a new video series I launched to help girls deal with the new friendship challenges posed by technology. Does your friend constantly text while you’re hanging out? What should you do if your friends’ social networking pages make you feel jealous or insecure? Get answers here. Keep watching this space for new episodes, and write me if you have suggestions for new topics!
