Lack of creative drive and innovation is forcing teachers to drop out of the profession. Petrides takes you to the future, the year 2030, with an in-depth look at a day as a teacherpreneur through her video presentation at 2010 Big Ideas Fest.

That’s the title that ISKME founder, Lisa Petrides, and I came up with after much deliberation for my Rapid Fire presentation at the 2010 Big Ideas Fest in December (by far the most challenging public speaking I’ve ever done).  And now, the video is finally posted for sharing! (Thanks, ISKME!)

At the moment there is plenty of discussion and question about what exactly a teacherpreneur is.  This video presents a vision of what it could be like for me as a 27 year veteran teacherpreneur in the year 2030.
