Mike Henrich, an educator for 26 years, and the author of Teacher Boy, will discuss his memoir.  Books available for sale and signing.

"In this unofficial history of his education over the last forty years, from both sides of the desk, Teacher Boy tries to overcome mediocre teachers, opinionated onlookers, layers of bureaucracy, swarming technology, an impatient society, ego, and self-doubt to defend education before and after the pandemic. Teacher Boy illustrates the potential to serve or fail families, turns a critical eye to his own field, and claps back at school critics. As a substitute, tutor, classroom teacher, and behavior interventionist in the richest and poorest parts of the world, he yearned to be good enough for his students, their parents, and the future. He supported young people and reaped rewards in ways that didn't show up on a spreadsheet or pay stub. His role as teacher finally allowed him to learn."--Back cover.
