About David Ross

I’m a passionate middle school math educator with a decade of experience driving student success through technology integration, data-driven instruction, and creative engagement strategies. I’ve led initiatives that significantly improved test scores, enhanced classroom culture, and fostered student leadership through student council. As a certified instructional coach and AI/EdTech advocate, I’ve presented on artificial intelligence in the classroom, implemented tools like Minecraft Education and Khan Academy, and served as an Intel SFI Ambassador and ISTE Community Leader. My approach emphasizes flexibility, equity, and real-world relevance as I prepare students for both academic and personal growth. I enjoy mentoring staff on new technologies and launching student-led events that raise funds and build civic engagement. I strive to inspire and empower every learner and colleague I encounter. Let’s connect if you’re passionate about education innovation, AI in schools, or student-centered leadership!
