Teaching is More than a Job, it’s a Mission
In this keynote speech clip, Dr. Parker tells his audience the difference of approaching your work with students as being on a job or being on a mission.
Restorative Practices Workshop
In this workshop, I’m speaking with school administrators and teachers about how they can make students feel valued using the principles of restorative justice and unbuntu and not zero tolerance or exclusionary practices.
Seeing the Potential in Your Students
I did not realize how great I could be or the many gifts I had until someone told me that they recognized greatness in me. This is the same for your students. In this video, I’m speaking with educators about how you can inspire students to greatness by telling their students that you see their potential and are dedicated to helping them realize their purpose and work toward their promise.
