Terry Heick is a social entrepreneur, educator, and writer. Terry is the Director at Teach Thought, and is considered an education thought leader sought out for his thinking, experience, and vision. He is specifically curious about inquiry, thought, the critical shifts of future learning, student-centered learning, emerging technology, innovative teaching and learning models, and the modern knowledge demands in a connected world. By combining a macro view with (selectively) narrow expertise, he is able to both explore complex challenges in education, and also package those complexities so that they’re accessible and easy to understand for a general audience.
As an adviser, he helps schools, districts, start-ups, and tech developers navigate the dynamic and often misunderstood ecology of progressive teaching and learning. By helping these “pieces” understand how one another functions (in the classroom and beyond), he is able to provide a comprehensive view of existing context, and future possibility.
Among his most recent work was a digital citizenship project with the White House, as well as various projects with Pearson, Institute for Habits of Mind, ASCD, Edutopia, Learnist, Adobe, Pixowl, and consulting for various conferences, curriculum developers, digital platforms, schools, and districts.
He has founded a successful blog, Ed company, podcast, and numerous social channels. He is a speaker at various conferences, including those in education, entrepreneurial, and technology. He is the author of two books, hundreds of industry-leading blog posts, scores of essays, and is a proud husband and father of three children.
