Dr. G is thrilled to Classroom Champions board of directors at Classroom Champions as their Parent Engagement Expert. The goal of the organization is to help K-8 kids in underserved schools dream big, and develop the skills and the mindset needed to turn those big dreams into big realities. They do this by matching classrooms with a Paralympic or Olympic mentor who sends a video lesson each month, challenging the students to practice that skill, and asking teachers to design projects related to that month’s subject.
Classroom Champions is reaching out to the adults raising the kids in these classrooms with a new initiative! Now past Olympians, themselves parents, will connect directly with the home adults with education, mentoring and encouragement. Steve Mesler, 3x Olympic Bobsledder and 2010 Gold Medalist and co-founder of Classroom Champions, will partner with Dr. G to create the training video these former Olympians need to engage with their new audience.
