Rebel Educator®

Welcome to Season 3 Rebel Educators!

I recently had a conversation about why we chose the name "Rebel Educator" and what it means to me. I wanted to share with you the reason why I started this podcast, what it means to be a Rebel Educator, and what I think we can accomplish when we all challenge the status quo.

Thank you for listening and enjoy the season!

I’m excited to announce that my new book, Rebel Educator, has officially launched and in this special episode you can listen to an excerpt!

What is Rebel Educator? As a caring, dedicated teacher, parent, or educational professional, are you feeling more and more frustrated by the confines of today’s educational environment?  

In Rebel Educator, I take a tough, honest look at our modern educational system while providing actionable insights and ideas to fill the classroom with imagination and curiosity.

Grounded in neuroscience yet presented without academic jargon, making it inviting and accessible to parents and teachers alike, Rebel Educator makes a strong, compelling argument for a new educational model for our children—one that teaches them to enjoy learning, bolsters their confidence, and prepares them with the teamwork skills that are vital to long-term life success.

My publisher has agreed to discount the ebook version from its full list price down to $0.99 for the first week of launch so I can share it at a reduced cost. 

I’d love to offer you a discounted copy! With the ebook, you can read it from any phone, tablet, or computer. If you’re more of a “feel the paper” type, the physical book is available as well!

Click here to purchase the ebook at the discounted rate. 

How can you help? Do NOT feel obligated, but if you have an active Amazon account, I’d be extremely grateful if you could buy the book and leave a review. Reviews are the most important factor in how many new readers the book is able to reach, and each one makes a big difference! 

Thank you so much for your support!  I’m so grateful.
