A framework. A pathway. A way forward when everything you knew about teaching is shifting.
This isn't another PD session where you sit, listen, and leave with a handout you'll never use. It's definitely not a workshop where you'll get to spend a few hours practicing with a new tool or strategy and then be sent off as if you've mastered the skill. This is a guided journey into heuta-heuristic practice—where you investigate your own teaching as a phenomenon. You'll experience what it means to transform your practice from a teacher-led framework to one where you walk alongside learners as they explore content differently, and you'll discover what becomes possible when you create conditions for student agency instead of controlling every outcome.
Three pathways • One transformation • Your choice how you walk it
This isn't a course you take. It's a transformation you experience—the same way your students will.
Something about AI and teaching won't leave you alone—that's your burning question emerging.
You gather data intensively, documenting what you see without trying to fix it yet.
You step completely away, letting understanding form beneath conscious awareness.
Patterns emerge as you explore your data with AI support and systematic tools.
You tell the story of your transformation, making tacit knowledge explicit.
You convert traditional lessons into heuta-heuristic practice that enables student-directed inquiry.
Same transformation. Different levels of support. You decide what you need.

Module 6 shows you how to convert traditional lessons into heuta-heuristic practice. But what if you want to go further? What if you want to build your own AI tool from scratch—one that embodies everything you've learned about student agency and inquiry-driven learning?
The Builder Module is a 3-week intensive where you identify insights from your journey, design an AI learning tool of your choice, and walk away with something you can immediately use with your students. Not an answer machine—a thinking partner that supports the kind of learning you're now creating conditions for.
3-week intensive • Available as add-on or standalone
You know something fundamental has shifted with AI, but you're not sure what teaching looks like now
You keep defaulting to control even though you believe in student agency
You're ready for a systematic framework, not just another set of tips
You're willing to investigate your own practice honestly, even when it's uncomfortable
You want to design tools that enable learning rather than just deliver content
You're done with PD that doesn't actually change anything
I designed the Heuta-Heuristic Framework™ as an outgrowth from experimenting with heuristics while completing my doctoral studies. As an educator who has always embraced doing the usual thing in unusual ways, I'm uniquely positioned to be a leader in this transformative period.
My heutagogical methods were already at work when I taught at a game design school, where I developed and piloted a high school ELA course called Writing Games for Social Change. That course earned California A-G approval for statewide use—proof that student-directed inquiry works when you create the right conditions.
This framework uses heuristics and heutagogy to create a systematic path from pedagogical control to student self-directed inquiry. It's not about better lesson plans or new tech tricks. It's about framework evolution—updating the operating system you teach from.
The Sage-Seeker's Journey is how teachers experience that evolution. You'll move through the same six phases your students will eventually move through. "The medium is the message" (Marshall McLuhan)—this understanding reinforces that the medium itself, more than its content, is what determines how humans experience reality.
