Member Mike Schmoker Background

Apr 18 - Another impressive life of a member was shared with us today. Mike obtained degrees from ASU and NAU and an Ed.D. from U of A. After working as an English teacher and coach in several locations in Arizona, Mike moved into Central Office administration. He found that kids were not reading and writing and teachers were not using lesson plans. Mike began began to write articles about this problem and has since published 5 books, with over a million copies in print. Thirteen years ago he became a consultant and has worked in 49 states as well as Canada and Australia. Mike has two daughters who have both done well academically. His younger daughter is currently at ASU. Mike's presentation sparked an excellent discussion about many aspects of education. We welcome Mike Schmoker
