Heads Up | motivational speaker classroom author

Heads Up!

Students with their heads up and off their desks. Middle Schoolers begging for one more chapter. A classroom inspired and motivated to read, write and actively particpate. That's what happens when the author of the book being read in class is interacting with your students. Emails, video chats, book signings and even an in-class presentation are part of the Heads Up! experience for your students. Author and motivational speaker John Robert Baumgartner will bring an exciting and encouraging energy to your classroom.
