Season Two kicks off with Dr. Catherine Zeisner!

She is a proud Canadian scholar-practitioner who believes the best in education is right around the corner. Currently, an assistant professor at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington, Catherine teaches both Masters and Doctoral students. She believes in the power of resiliency and positivity as demonstrated by conquering cancer in 2011 and completing 3 Chicago Marathons. Having taught French, Phys-ed, multiple grade levels and special education, Catherine believes all students can learn and all teachers can thrive in our diverse educational settings. As an ADHD program teacher, vice-principal, and principal, Catherine proved that relationships are the key to school success by bridging the gaps between what's needed and what's possible. "Anything is possible if you have the right people in the right room at the right time, focusing on the right things."

Dr. Zeisner has a very simple message for educators around the world…PUSH UP! Not the tough exercise kind of push up but the kind of behavior that respectfully challenges the status quo engages a wide community and gets others to think differently. The kind of difference that provides success for students' tomorrow, today!
