About me

I have a passion for education and especially for ensuring that all of us continue to apply what we have learned. I am excited about the opportunity that the Lounge provides for all of us to discuss how we are applying what we have learned & to share those great ideas.

I have had a varied background from secondary education to corporate training & now working in the career college sector. But while I have moved in different circles it has always been surrounding my passion of education. I look forward to our conversations.

Strategies for teaching Gen Yers.

Scott, this is a great strategy. One thing I like to do if they are starting to drift is to have them stand up & pair up with someone they don't really know & give them a real brief discussion question. Ryan Meers, Ph.D.
