Discovery Education Speakers Bureau

Keynotes

"Lance Rougeux is fun, witty, and most important, he's right on the money.  Most of the conferences I've attended talk about integrating technology into the classroom.  Lance's keynote address took it a step further.  His focus was on the integration of technology into the lives of students through the medium of teaching.  There is a difference.  And that difference is what sets Discovery Education apart from the rest."   

Tim Childers, Language Arts Teacher, Career Education Instructor, Lake Forest Middle School. May, 2007

Workshops and Concurrent Sessions

"Thanks for making the conference worthwhile.  I really look forward to using all the things you showed us. You were, by far, the best presenter (and I let them know it in the evaluations). Thanks again for a job well done!"

Shawn Burke, Conference Attendee, Conrad Weiser School District, PA, 2007

"I really enjoyed the National Science Teachers Association conference, but I have to say that I enjoyed Lance Rougeux and Bill Nye's' session the most out of everything that I did."

Praise for Lance Rougeux in the classroom

"He's always searching for ways to improve instruction."

Ron Whitehorne, science teacher, educator for 20+ years.

"With his computer background, he could have earned far more money in business.... But he chose to teach (science) in Philadelphia. And not just in Philadelphia, but in deBurgos, at Eighth and Lehigh, a school populated by Latino and African American students united by deprivation but little else. As the top-scoring teacher on the city's elementary placement exam, Rougeux could have opted for a lower grade, with younger kids, in a "better" neighborhood...he fills his lessons with hands-on,,,requires his class to write, (and) never misses an opportunity."

Philadelphia Inquirer, Dale Mezzacappa, staff writer, in feature article on Keys to the Classroom

"Mr. Rougeux was Philadelphia's number one teacher..He taught sixth grade and seemed to have the most effective classroom in the school."
