About

When I coached division II soccer, I would spend hours at regional tournaments sitting in my camping chair watching players showcase their skills, while pouring over scouting reports of eager players looking to play at the next level.  Next to each player’s roster picture were their accolades.  All-state honors, top 5 state scorer, 4.0 GPA, voted most coachable, and honor society member were just some of the labels I would sift through looking for traits that pointed to a good fit with the team.  What I found intriguing was if you continued to follow the most decorated players, previous accomplishments did not seem to have a consistent, predictable pattern on future success.


As a teacher, I see similar patterns.  A talented student cannot seem to perform up to their potential.  A struggling student overcomes academic adversity to earn top 5 in class.  The quiet kid shines the brightest in the lead role of the musical.  Some kids seem to have it figured out one semester just to struggle the next.  Searching for key factors in a student's future success has led me to explore the best practices in education and put together the Learning in Academia Course. 


Learning in Academia  seeks to walk participants through the skills needed to succeed in school.  It is meant to complement their current school environment and equip students to expedite the learning process by focusing on skills, mindset, and practice that can accelerate learning.  It touches on the brain science of learning and relies on tested methods in the classroom.  I hope this course benefits each new participant as much as each individual I have seen succeed from its methods.
