KELLEY S. MILLER EDUCATION
Our time and energy are the most powerful gifts we bring to students- when we invest in our own learning, we invest in theirs too.
This is so much more fun when we are together.

Co-Authored with Michael McDowell
Built from years of working alongside teachers across the country, The Project Habit offers educators a practical, classroom-tested approach to project based learning. Rather than overhauling everything at once, the book focuses on small, doable habits that make PBL sustainable, manageable, and effective for real teachers in real classrooms.

Secondary Teachers’ Perceptions of the Impact of Professional Development on Writing
Doctoral Dissertation, Touro University of California, 2025
This dissertation sits at the intersection of two questions: what does good writing instruction actually look like, and how do we deliver professional development that sticks? Centering the voices of secondary teachers themselves, the research explores how educators perceive the impact of professional development on their writing instruction practice — and what that tells us about what works, what doesn't, and why teacher voice must be at the heart of any serious conversation about professional growth.
