Valerie Lewis: Featured Teacher

Date:Saturday December 17, 2016
Time:9:00amPT/10:00amMT/
11:00amCT/12:00pm ET
Location: Blackboard Collaborate








​If you're feeling completely exhausted as you head into your Winter break, this is a "must-see" webinar to get re-charged and inspired to recapture your passion for teaching with our Featured Teacher, Valerie Lewis! This webinar will show teachers how to find their own voice and passions in order to create their own lane. During a time, where teachers may be facing criticism in the profession and burn-outs from overwhelming expectations, they will be encouraged to “ignite the spark” within themselves and spread that passion like a wildfire amongst others. The speaker will share examples of things that have inspired her and share how she went from concept and ideas to reality.

Valerie Lewis is an EDUPRENEUR, technology fanatic, a forever learner, and a DISRUPTOR of normalcy within education from Miami, FL but a 10 year resident of Atlanta, Georgia!  Valerie considers herself a natural leader with a gift and calling to teach all students. Her philosophy is that all students can learn once great strategies are implemented. Every teacher should always seek ways to challenge not only their students but themselves as well. This idea has pushed Valerie to build collaborative learning spaces such as: PasstheScopeEDU, Preparing Next Generation Innovators, Teacherpreneur Chat, EdObstacles and other community service learning projects which makes “giving good”.
