“When teachers come to me with questions or ideas, I have an easily navigable supply of resources to pass on the skills required to innovate our students’ learning experience.”
This month, Edge•U celebrates Jeremy Booher, an Innovative Learning Coach at Henrico County Public Schools, whose passion for professional learning is transforming classrooms across his district. Jeremy’s knack for connecting teachers with the right tools and strategies is powered by Edge•U’s comprehensive resource library.
A Treasure Trove of Innovation
Jeremy describes Edge•U as a game-changer for educators seeking practical solutions and creative ways to enhance learning. “The variety of things available to learn through Edge•U is mind-blowing,” he shares. “When teachers come to me with questions or ideas, I have an easily navigable supply of resources to pass on the skills required to innovate our students’ learning experience.” He appreciates how Edge•U’s microcredentials streamline the process, making it simple to find exactly what’s needed.
Bringing Literacy to Every Classroom
This year, Jeremy’s school is prioritizing literacy integration across all content areas. As a former Physics teacher, he understands the challenge of weaving reading into non-traditional subjects. Luckily, Edge•U introduced him to Diffit, a tool that allows educators to create, adapt, and level texts while also generating complementary activities. Jeremy’s training sessions have sparked enthusiasm among teachers, who are now eagerly applying what they’ve learned to engage students in new and exciting ways.
Advice for New Edge•U Participants
Jeremy encourages new users to explore the Curated Collections menu. “It’s incredibly useful for finding specific interests, but it also reveals solutions to problems you didn’t even know you had,” he advises.
A Fun Fact About Jeremy
Outside the classroom, Jeremy has a unique history. Before moving to Richmond, he competed in mounted archery—yes, that’s archery on horseback! After relocating, he traded horseback archery for fencing lessons. This combination inspired his online gaming handle, PastLifeKnight, a nod to his adventurous spirit.
