As a teacher, you sometimes veer off the beaten path—not because the curriculum told you to, but because your gut did.
One year, I started to notice a troubling trend: many of my students equated success with fame, followers, or a fat bank account. To them, success looked like a YouTuber with a million subscribers or someone throwing a ball—whether it’s football, baseball, or soccer—on TV.
Eric Hall and his students have been featured on different national outlets, including The Ellen DeGeneres Show. While the accolades are nice, Eric will tell you his greatest rewards come in the form of high-fives in the hallway, students who finally “get it,” and the joy of watching kids realize they are capable of more than they ever imagined.
