With a career spanning over three and a half decades, I have dedicated my life to transforming education and empowering educators, students, and communities. As the Founder and CEO of Valgar LLC, I have channeled my passion for educational innovation into a dynamic edupreneurial venture that operates at the intersection of scholarship, leadership, and agency.
We focus on three key areas: publishing, consulting, and educational services, all designed to foster personal and professional transformation through the power of knowledge. As an author, I've contributed to the field of education with books such as "The Teaching Profession" and "Edupreneurs' Foundation: Principles of Educational Entrepreneurship." My work extends beyond traditional education, as evidenced by my book "Vintage Snowboarders: For the Mature Shredder," showcasing my diverse interests and ability to connect with various audiences.
My thought leadership in education is further exemplified through articles such as "Leadership in the Age of AI," published in K12 Digest. I actively engage with the educational community through my LinkedIn and Substack newsletters, "Educational Leadership" and "Edupreneurs Network," where I share insights and foster discussions on critical topics in the field.
At the core of my work is a vision of a world where knowledge is the key to personal and professional transformation. Through Valgar LLC, we strive to lead the creation and dissemination of educational preneurial content, consulting services, and learning opportunities. My expertise in educational entrepreneurship, social networking, writing, and mentoring allows me to collaborate within a context that resonates globally with educators.
As we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of education, my unwavering commitment remains to inspiring, motivating, and empowering individuals and organizations to achieve excellence and success. Join me on this transformative journey as we shape the future of education together.entertainment online.
In 2016, we launched the Valgar Institute, which emerged as a comprehensive educational knowledge network, leveraging technology to curate, produce, and disseminate relevant content across various platforms. Over the years, the institute has initiated and maintained several pivotal ventures:
While some of these initiatives were time-bound, others have continued to evolve and remain active. In response to changing career demands and industry shifts, the institute refined its focus, concentrating on newsletters, book publications, and consulting services.
In 2023, the Valgar Institute underwent a strategic transformation, rebranding as Valgar LLC. This visionary entity is now dedicated to empowering edupreneurs—a fusion of educators and entrepreneurs—to convert their passion for teaching and leadership into impactful, successful ventures.
Valgar LLC occupies a unique niche at the intersection of education and entrepreneurship, offering an unparalleled blend of pedagogical expertise and business acumen, instilling confidence in our partners and those we serve about our new direction.
Vision
To create a transformative impact on learning environments by integrating the principles of academic leadership with successful edupreneurship.
Problem of Practice and Theory of Action
Educators often need help to leverage their expertise in teaching, learning, and leadership beyond the traditional setting, which limits their potential to innovate and create impactful educational solutions. This challenge stems from a gap between educational expertise and entrepreneurial skills, preventing many talented educators from fully realizing their potential to drive meaningful change in the education sector.
If we provide educators with proper guidance and support in scholarship, leadership, and entrepreneurial skills and mindset, they can successfully apply their knowledge, experience, and agency to transform education as leaders and edupreneurs. This approach will empower educators to drive educational innovation and create sustainable ventures that address current and future educational needs.
Our theory of action is rooted in the belief that educators possess unique insights into the challenges and opportunities within the education system. We can catalyze a movement of educator-led innovation by equipping them with entrepreneurial tools and leadership strategies.
