TEACHERNOMICS (n)
-a new way of seeing the value teachers bring to every market and every profession.
-a conversation of how we measure, maximize, and employ the value of teachers.
Everyone has a great teacher story. Even you. This great teacher changed your life; she helped you do something that you likely wouldn't have done on your own.
This great teacher is still in your head, teaching you. Great teachers have incredible value to people of every job, career, and profession.
It's the world's most valuable profession. And, honestly, probably the oldest. The other oldest.

MIKE KLEBA
An educator, speaker, writer, and artist, Michael Kleba has been a classroom teacher for over 15 years. He believes that great teaching exists in all leadership, from classrooms to boardrooms, from the sidelines of football fields to the frontlines of war. He is currently serving as Chief Teacher Officer at DegreeCast, a company dedicated to improving higher education degree search.
Originally from Philadelphia, Kleba teaches 12th grade English and IB Theatre at a high school on Long Island in NY. He's taught at every level of school from K-12, is certified in Secondary English, Social Studies, and Art. He holds a BS in Education from Duquesne University and a MA in Theatre from Villanova University.
Kleba has also been in classrooms around the world including Tanzania, Italy, Austria, Uruguay, Cuba, and New Zealand. But, let's be honest: he was mostly just hanging around talking to students.
