As an educator for more than two decades, Dave has earned a reputation for being a disruptor of the status quo, an innovator, and a change agent. Having served as a classroom teacher, school-based administrator, central office director, and now professor of Educational Leadership, he often uses real-life stories and examples of his own life and career to describe why and how we need to confront “the way we have always done it.”

He has written multiple books, including :

• It’s Like Riding a Bike: How to make learning last a lifetime

• Bold Humility

• Making Assessment Work for Educators Who Hate Data but Love Kids
