Andi McNair
Author, Speaker, Consultant

I am currently the Digital Innovation Specialist at ESC Region 12 in Waco, Texas. Before working at the center, I taught Gifted and Talented students at a small rural school in Texas. I have been married to my junior high (that's right, junior high) sweetheart for 18 years and they have 3 beautiful children. I teach in the same small district that my husband and I attended. I love living in a small community in which everyone knows each other and takes care of one another.
I have been a teacher for 16 years, teaching 4th/5th-grade math for 10 years before finding my passion in the gifted classroom. As a parent of gifted children, I realize the importance of advocating for gifted education. I feel that every student deserves a meaningful learning experience and as teachers, it is our job to provide them with this.
I enjoy speaking and sharing with other educators. I am a connected educator that learns so much of what goes on in my classroom from my PLN (personal learning network). I have spoken at many conferences, education service centers, and worked with many school districts to provide innovative learning experiences for their students. Last year, I was named one of the Top People in Education to Watch in 2016 by the Academy of Education Arts and Sciences. I have just finished publishing my first book about Genius Hour and could not be more excited. I absolutely love sharing my passion for innovative education with other teachers that want more for their students.
As an educator, I am passionate about using technology in the classroom and finding innovative ways to engage students. I believe that the students that we are educating today are unique and we must be creative in our teaching strategies. I love what I do and I am excited to be an educator during a time that we have so much to offer our students.
