Relationships.Relationships are vital to education, and teachers are the ones building relationships with students.Every. Single. Day.Teachers are the ears, eyes, and heart of schools, building relationships with students day in, day out.Their success is my primary goal.I have built my career around teachers. I strive to elevate them, give them the tools to succeed, and - in turn - getting students to levels they never knew possible.At the same time, can we have fun?My professional development programs are full of games, themes (ehem… Harry Potter), tinker time, and USING teaching strategies, not just TALKING about them. The students aren’t the only ones who get to enjoy the blend of joy and learning!Side note: I am a huge audiobook fan (Epic Fantasy and Sci Fi? Yes, Please!) Personal Side: I’m a husband and father to two boys and a massive Bears fan. Da Bearsss (read like Chris Farley).
