You might know Michael Bonner as the rapping teacher who was on the Ellen Degeneris show a couple years back. He doesn’t have a program or initiative that people can adopt, but he has a clear understanding of what makes a successful teacher, with advice that applies to anyone who works on helping children be successful in academics, and in life.

"We need to realize that with every child we come into contact with we have the ability to steer them into greatness." - Michael Bonner, in the interview.
