Dr. Lindsay is dedicated to empowering teachers, and thus students, to create a more just and equitable society.
She has spent over two decades of her career studying the curricular and instructional strategies that best enable students to develop their problem-solving, creative and critical thinking skills. As a career educator and professor of education, she has trained teachers around the world to teach the strategies embedded in problem-based learning.
