Educators who create content
MEET THE
JEREMY EDUCATORS
WILLIAMS WHO
CREATE CONTENT
I
am
from
a
small
town
called Crown Point, Indiana,
located in the United States
of America. This is my 15th
year in education. I started as an
elementary Mathematics teacher
in the United States, then served as
an Assistant Principal, Principal and
Superintendent of 4 schools. I then
moved to Al Ain to serve as Head of
School at Manor Hall International
School. My family and I wanted a
new experience, and that, it has
certainly been!
My Podcast is called ‘DisruptED
TV presents Dismissed with
Jeremy Williams’. The Podcast
started in 2017.
The goal of starting the Podcast
is simple. I want to connect with
people. Even if only one person
makes a connection with an
episode, it’s worth it to me. I really
enjoy doing it.
I’ve slowed down a bit, but I’d
ideally like to drop a new episode
weekly.
The Podcast can be found
anywhere where you can listen to
podcasts (iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher,
etc.).
My goal is just to keep making
more episodes. I hope more and

more people find the issues I’m
discussing compelling, and that
the podcast brings them new
knowledge.
I currently focus on LinkedIn and
Twitter. So, feel free to connect
with me.
It is important for educators to
create content, especially when
people are trying to learn about
you or your school. As the head
of a school, I know teachers who
have signed up to work with me,
just because they felt like they got
to know more about me through
my content.

5 5 My greatest wish for education
now and in the future are:That
every young person in the world
has access to education that
can prepare them for the future.
5 5 That schools start to change in a
substantive (not superficial) way
to prepare people for the future
economy.
5 5 That K12 schools begin to work
more closely with industry
so that students are actually
getting “career” ready.
