Educator, researcher and founder who speaks on equity in education, trauma across the lifespan and making brain science visible in the classroom. His talks have taken him from Washington, D.C., to Cape Town, Johannesburg and Pretoria.
Each talk can be a keynote (30–60 minutes) or a hands-on workshop (60–180 minutes), and can be tailored to your audience.
Why equal treatment has not produced equal outcomes in American schools, and what leaders can do about it. Drawn from Micheal's doctoral research on critical race theory, culturally responsive teaching, education policy and leadership.
Presented in Washington, D.C., and across South Africa. How stress and trauma during pregnancy shape development before birth, and how generational trauma carries forward, including the legacy of slavery.
A hands-on session for psychology, counseling, nursing and education faculty using Doc Lobe's 3D brain lessons, games and teaching packets to turn memorization into understanding.
How academic stress and trauma affect attention, memory and motivation, and the classroom and campus practices that help students learn.
Lessons from teaching psychology in Bowie State University's grant-funded prison education program, where incarcerated men earn a bachelor's degree in Social Justice with the same outcomes as on-campus courses.
How assessments and career theories built on narrow samples can miss people of color, and what culturally responsive measurement and counseling look like, using Doc Lobe's Roots, Love in Color, Paths in Color and CBRIS instruments and McGee's Career Personality Multicultural Approach.
International, national and state conferences, universities and schools.
