Speaking Topics
Topic 01
Thirty-one years of evidence that the system fails students — not by accident but by design. What needs to change, who is blocking it, and what a real school looks like built from scratch.
School boards · Education conferences · Parent organizations · Policy groups
Topic 02
Nearly one billion dollars stolen from children in documented federal fraud cases. How it happened, how it was hidden for years, and what parents and taxpayers can demand right now.
Policy conferences · Government hearings · Journalism associations · Taxpayer groups
Topic 03
After visiting 99 countries and meeting teachers in Thailand, Ecuador, Brazil, and Sweden — what does American education get catastrophically wrong, and what would it actually take to fix it?
Corporate keynotes · International education forums · Leadership conferences
Topic 04
A practical, hour-by-hour blueprint for what school should actually look like — built by a teacher who stayed long enough to know what works, what doesn't, and why the difference matters.
Educators · Principals · Curriculum directors · School boards
Topic 05
The students who changed him. The ones he couldn't save. What teaching actually is when you strip away the politics, the paperwork, and the administration — and get down to a teacher and a student in a room.
General audiences · Commencement speeches · Retirement events · Community groups
