About me
Christopher Turner,raised in Bay Shore, NY on Long Island, is a PK-8 school principal, who holds his EdS in Organizational Leadership with an Emphasis in K-12 Education. His background as an Athletic Director, Assistant Principal, Interim Principal, Special Education teacher, and Special Education Department chair has allowed great insight and expertise around special education, athletics, training teachers, coaching, parental engagement, and academic achievement. After spending over a decade in education, Christopher knows very well what drives the necessary change in education today, the three Rs; relationships, relevance, and rigor. Once relationships are developed, the learning needs to be relevant to students then you can push the rigor and challenge students to great heights. He believes academic achievement is linked to the three Rs, therefore, increased emphasis needs to be on educators forming meaningful student relationships, making learning relevant, and ensuring that teaching and learning is rigorous.
