Today Maria sits down with David Reynolds. David is the professional learning director at the Professional Association of Georgia Educators (PAGE) and the director of the Impact Project. He retired from the public school system where he served as a teacher, an assistant principal and a principal. Today, the focus of his work at PAGE is on developing and strengthening classroom, school, and district practices to ensure that all decisions are made for the benefit of students and learning and that all of our work leads to adult and student engagement. David takes us through his learning journey from devouring books in the Free Public Library in Louisville, Kentucky and later on majoring in Industrial Arts in college. He talks about how his curiosity and commitment to learning has guided his career and led him to a broad range of roles and experiences in the public school system and today, at PAGE where he brings together the community of educators and guides to lead students how to learn. David is also the host of the podcast “Lead - Learn - Change”. A truly engaged conversation!
