the BUZZ on Education

From Educator to Employee...Why I Joined Knowledge Matters

After 22 years as a CTE teacher, Stuart Foster fell during a ski accident and during recovery had time to reflect on teaching, his students, and what mattered most to them. Countless times he came back to what really inspired his students and helped them prepare and find a career.  He realized even as he ran into former students, they'd ask him if he was still doing the same type of programs and using the same curriculum that they loved.  They'd share with him how his class had impacted their careers.  Stuart shares his journey as a teacher, and some inspirational student stories, and how he went from educator to employee of Knowledge Matters.
