I have had the privilege of meet Dave Burgess in Denver, Colorado; Washington, D.C., San Diego, California; and Seattle, Washington. I have also had many conversations with Dave on Twitter through #sschat 
and #satchat. I guess you could say I would be a in the “Dave Fan Club,” if there was one. Dave is truly a teacher who makes me want to be a better educator. He is inspiring, entertaining, and a good friend.
What Makes Dave Special?
Dave is not only passionate about his job and students, but passionate about life. He is a highly sought after for professional development because of his creative, entertaining, and outrageous style. His workshops inspire teachers and help them to develop practical ways to be creative and engaging in classroom. I have implemented numerous ideas from his workshops into my classroom; as well as thought of my own ideas inspired by Dave’s presentations. I wish we had more Dave’s in the world!
I am honored to announce that Dave Burgess will be hosting #sschat on Monday, December 17th at 7 PM EST. Please join us for an engaging and inspiring discussion on “Turning Lessons into Life-Changing Lessons.”
