In this presentation, Matt Ogle encouraged students and students alike to take greater responsibility for their own learning.
Taking a cue from "The Law of Diffusion of Innovation" and "the tipping point," Matt urged teachers to hold their students to high expectations and positively reinforce them each day. Students will rise or fall to the expectations placed on them, and students tend to succeed in response to their teachers' unwavering resolve and high expectations towards them.
In short, students have every opportunity to succeed but the best teachers never let them settle for second best.
Matt Ogle received a B.S in Marine biology from Swansea University in Wales and a Masters of Educational Leadership from Grand Canyon University in Phoenix.
