Hi, I’m Brian Crawford
I’m a veteran educator, award-winning author, and seasoned public speaker who helps others find their voice.
I guide students and educators to think deeply, write clearly, and engage with difference with empathy.
Contact me today to book a teacher in-service training, a student presentation, or private coaching session in writing, critical thinking, and executive functioning skills.
Training & Speaking
Drawing on decades of research, published work, and experience teaching over a thousand students, I lead presentations and trainings for teachers, schools, students, and organizations nationwide.
Participants leave with practical, research-based strategies for:
Listening and communicating across divides.
Cultivating empathy and inclusion.
Ensuring that students feel seen for who they are.
Navigating parental reactions to curricula.
Applying the lessons of history to creating an inclusive classroom.
Private Coaching
I provide one-on-one writing mentorship, cultivating disciplined thought, intellectual confidence, and persuasive authority before college or the professional world.
I help middle-, high-school, and college students:
Craft compelling college essay narratives that have helped past students gain entry into top universities.
Hone diction, syntax, mechanics, and voice to serve the reader.
Structure precise, persuasive arguments.
Interpret rather than summarize.
Revise substantively and write with authority.
