How to Foster Meaningful Student-Teacher Relationships with Joe Burgess and Brian Tobal

​Picture a classroom in your mind. What do you see? 

​Probably a teacher standing in front of a room of 20+ students. This idea of what a classroom looks like hasn’t changed much over the past few decades - in fact, it’s barely changed at all.

​The technology we’re using and the tools available to teachers and students has developed in leaps and bounds, yet in many cases the approach to teaching has remained stagnant.    

​With the direction modern education is heading in, it’s become apparent that teacher-student relationships are becoming more vital than ever for a productive learning environment. 

​Brian Tobal is the CEO of SchoolHouse which is an organization that helps families to create small group micro-schools run by qualified, passionate and experienced teachers. He's been working at the intersection of technology, learning science and startups for over a decade and, because of Joe, is now fascinated by great teachers. 

​Joe Burgess is a software developer who fell in love with teaching in high school. He combined these two talents and joined Flatiron School as the first employee and instructor. After teaching for a few years, Joe managed the in-person school, curriculum development, and launched Flatiron’s online program. Since then, Joe has been building tools for teachers to understand their students in the modern era of schools.

​Joe and Brian will be joining us at our next InspirEd by Galileo where they will discuss the importance of teacher-student relationships, how to foster them and why they are meaningful for an impactful learning experience.
