Future-ready students need to be creative. They need to know how to communicate their ideas and how to collaborate as problem solvers. To master these and other twenty-first-century requirements, they will need to be critical thinkers.

Follow Brian's journey from his early days as a substitute teacher, to more recently, as a University Instructor, three time TEDx speaker, best selling author, and Canadian Prime Minister's Award Recipient For Teaching Excellence.
