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.

Keeping Student Groups on Course

Frank, this is very true & I often see them very quickly pull out their phones. I try to give them a lot of directed steps at first so they get used to doing the work & then become more self-directed. Ryan Meers, Ph.D.
