Roger Michael is a passionate educator driven to close the achievement gap. Roger, The Culture Changer, knows that the journey to ensure there is equity within the educational system requires educators that are unapologetic about knowing that all students can learn, all students can be successful, and to do whatever it takes to keep students at the center of all decisions that are made. Roger has operated as a humble, hungry, and smart educator in rural and urban education. Roger’s experience ranges from being a teacher, culture leader, and instructional leader. Although The Culture Changer has a lot of experience, he firmly believes that he still has a lot to learn and seeks to continue to sit at the feet of great equity-focused educational leaders changing the educational landscape. .
