One hundred and seventy educators representing 20 school districts from Adams, Brown, Clinton, Fayette and Highland counties were in attendance to hear international speaker and award-winning teacher and author Dave Burgess share his experiences in how to “Teach Like a Pirate” June 6 at Southern State Community College in Hillsboro.

The event, hosted by the Southern Ohio Educational Service Center and Region 14 Hopewell Center, kicked off a weeklong series of workshops offering teachers and administrators continuing education opportunities.

Burgess met with educators throughout the day sharing his high-energy, entertaining, and inspirational keynote presentation that will transform the way teachers and administrators look at their role as educators.

Encouraging teachers to think outside the box and step out of their comfort zones, Burgess demonstrated how to dramatically increase student engagement, design wildly creative lessons, and build a course that will be a life-changing experience for students.

As teachers continue to work through the summer months preparing for the start of the 2016-17 school year, they are now more equipped to better engage students in classroom learning activities having benefited from the Teach Like a Pirate techniques shared by Burgess.
