Ben Johnson
Change agent and school improvement expert
I am an avid educator that believes that teaching and learning are symbiotic activities: one cannot survive without the other. Teaching and learning should be fun from the very beginning. Every teacher is important in a student's life, but the elementary teachers are incredibly important, especially for disadvantaged students.
I am pursuing a doctoral degree in educational leadership with an emphasis on curriculum and instruction so that I can help change the current educational system to better encourage teachers to lighten-up, liven-up and tighten-up their teaching.
