Show Notes

In this episode, I talk to Ricky, a person who has worn many hats related to the field of education. His varied and profound experiences have taught him many lessons. Both as a teacher and as an actor, his purpose was to engage and motivate his “audience” to see more and to learn more about themselves and the lessons of life. Both require people skills and so much more than just reading a script or checking off a standard. As an administrator and a publisher, he has learned the importance of equity of access to resources, materials and “concrete ideas that will not sacrifice student learning.” Finally, Ricky gives heartfelt insight to the impact of not only teachers, but also school bus drivers and other school personnel. He says that they are all unsung heroes who help create and shape who children become and their perceived value in the world. It is all about making a difference and creating cherished school memories, connections and hope that will last a lifetime. Listen, be inspired and share your fondest school memories!
