Do you consider yourself a passionate person? What are the things about  which you are passionate? Are you passionate about kids and helping kids  learn? Are you passionate about opening up new vistas of experiences  and understanding for others which – absent your intervention – they  might never experience? Are you passionate about creating moments of  unforgettable learning? Learning that is SO engaging, so motivating, so  interesting, and so fun – that those fortunate enough to experience it  will NEVER forget it? Nevada elementary teacher Brian Crosby is this kind of person, and this kind of educational leader. Brian gave the world a seventeen minute glimpse into his 4th grade classroom a few weeks ago in Denver at the TEDx event. I strongly encourage you to set aside seventeen minutes of your day and listen to what Brian had to say.
