This is a fun episode. You can hear and feel Dominic's passion for teaching. You will also leave with actionable takeaways you could put to use immediately in your classroom.

Dominic Helmstetter has taught Middle and High School for 16 years.  He holds a BA in Integrated Social Studies, an MA in Curriculum and Instruction as well as an MED in Education Leadership.  He began his teaching career in a diverse high needs community before later serving as Dean of Students and Principal.  He later returned to the classroom to teach Junior High before being hired to teach at Perrysburg High School, where he is part of a teaching team that regularly helps students earn among the highest passing rates in Ohio state testing.  His instruction focuses on providing hands-on learning experiences centered around promoting engaging and active learning opportunities for students.  In addition to teaching, Dominic enjoys serving on various district wide leadership teams and speaking at educational conferences designed to help boost student engagement and build classroom culture.

Welcome to the eighth season of The Wired Educator Podcast!

In this 226th episode of the Wired Educator Podcast, I interview Karen Robey. Karen is an amazing educational leader and innovator. She is one of my immediate go-to's when I need help, inspiration, an innovative perspective or honest feedback. She is a brilliant and kind. I am so excited to share her message with you!

In this episode Karen refers to curriculum as a bridge. Wait until you hear it and what it means. I love this metaphor!

Karen Robey is the Director of Teaching and Learning at Gibsonburg Schools and brings over two decades of educational experience in Ohio public schools. She holds a Bachelor and Master of Early Childhood Education as well as a Master of Educational Administration. She is passionate about creating a culture of collaborative learning and growth and enjoys planning meaningful professional learning. One accomplishment she is most proud of was being a member of a district team who led a professional learning session hosted by The Ohio Department of Education during the pandemic. Karen is a family girl to her core and the proud mom of three children, ages 17, 13, and 11. During her personal time, you'll find her at the ball diamond watching her children's games or winding down at the lake in Port Clinton.

Karen is a leader and expert in: Culture and Relationships, Positivity, Growth Mindset, Power of networking, Curriculum, and Professional Learning. 

I took some time off hosting the Wired Educator Podcast. Now I'm back. My mission is to help everyone level-up and make a difference in the lives of students. 

Taking a break from podcasting and my other creative outlets was one of the hardest things, and one of the best things I have ever done in my life. 

I'm excited for this 8th season. I am excited for you to hear from great educational leaders, like Karen.

Thank you for your support and encouragement. 

Kelly
