Lynn has spent her career exploring how and why people do good work. She helps educators and organizations translate these insights into real-world practice—through partnerships, mentorship, and research that cultivates purpose, connection, and positive change.
PZ Work
Lynn helps bridge research and practice by developing partnerships and collaborations, and ensuring that ideas from PZ work reaches classrooms and communities around the world.
For over two and a half decades, Lynn has been a part of The Good Project, which is a large-scale effort to identify individuals and institutions that exemplify good work - work that is excellent in quality, socially responsible, and meaningful to its practitioners - and to determine how best to increase the incidence of good work in our society. She is especially proud of The Good Project Lesson Plans and The Good Project's Core Concepts series which outline many key ideas clearly.
She loves being part of PZ's annual Project Zero Classroom—a highlight each summer that allows her to connect with inspiring educators from around the world.
