Opening Keynote: Teach Better and Work Less with Eduprotocols!

Do you love teaching? But are you also having a physical reaction to the workload? I did too in 1999. I loved the kids, loved the teaching, and HATED the late nights, piled up work, and LACK OF RESULTS. So I started putting all my business, technology, and D1 football coaching skills into building systems that got HUGE results with WAY less work. Come spend an hour with me and CHANGE YOUR CAREER. Not sure? I’ve had MANY 20+ year educators tell me the Eduprotocols plan totally works, including a friend who watched from the sidelines for two years before taking the plunge. After he finally tried Eduprotocols, his text says it all: My God sir, this actually works!!. I’ll be sharing more than 5 Eduprotocols you can use immediately in class. Any subject, any grade level.

Speakers
