An expert in the art, science & profession of teaching.
I'm Dr. Tazin Daniels, an educational developer, speaker, and consultant with over 20 years of experience in higher education. I help colleges and universities navigate complex questions about teaching and learning, including those emerging with generative AI.
At the heart of my work is a commitment to critical engagement. I believe we make better decisions when we're willing to question our assumptions and genuinely consider perspectives beyond our own. I bring educators together to do that work, drawing on their collective expertise to explore what's possible and make choices that reflect their educational values.

Keynotes.
Looking for a speaker who makes ideas click?
I help audiences make sense of complex issues in higher education, often giving language to ideas they've been grappling with. My keynotes draw on research and lived experience to challenge assumptions and open up new possibilities for teaching and learning.
Workshops.
Ready to get your faculty genuinely engaged?
My workshops help educators apply new ideas to their teaching while learning from one another. Activities draw on participants' experiences and expertise, encouraging them to think critically about what works in their own contexts.
Consultation.
Need perspective on a complex challenge?
I partner with academic leaders and faculty development teams to navigate complex educational challenges. Drawing on research and institutional context, I help teams evaluate their options and make informed decisions aligned with their priorities and values.
Testimonials.
Featured Book Contributions.
I'm honored to have written forewords to two books exploring the opportunities and challenges of generative AI in education.
Supporting education that is more…
-
Educational decisions affect people differently. I help educators and institutions consider whose experiences are represented, whose needs may be overlooked, and how their choices can expand opportunities for meaningful participation and learning.
-
Innovation isn't simply about adopting something new. I help educators question assumptions, explore possibilities, and evaluate whether emerging technologies and teaching approaches genuinely advance their educational goals.
-
Meaningful engagement requires more than participation. I create opportunities for people to contribute their expertise, encounter different perspectives, and think critically together about the questions that matter to them.
-
I believe people make better decisions when they have the knowledge, confidence, and agency to exercise their own judgment. My work helps educators and institutions navigate uncertainty and make choices that reflect their values and priorities.
