Adam Geller :: Rewriting The Rules
In case we've yet to meet: "Hi, I'm Adam Geller." Oh, and about that tagline above, I like to think I'm helping to rewrite the rules for expectations about public education in America.
I currently work for Teach For America on their national strategy team. My mission and vision are to affect positive change on the education system by continually challenging the status quo that has for many years failed the youth of this nation. I believe that the always-threatening wolves of education are low expectations, out-of-date pedagogy, lackluster leadership, and dogmatic reverence for only the traditional theory and practice for educating today's students.
I hold a master's in education with an emphasis on secondary administration from the University of Missouri - St. Louis. I have passed the Interstate Leaders Licensure Assessment in with a qualifying score for all 18 participating states. In the future, I aspire to attain an Ed.D. or Ph.D. from an institution focusing on education leadership policy research.
Outside of teaching, I play on a kickball team, enjoy singing, and thrive on applying new technologies to everyday life. I created and manage a blogging community called TeachFor.Us for Teach for America teachers that is now recognized by Teach For America as a good source of information for insight into the TFA Corps Member experience.
