Mike Yates (@justmikeyates) - How To Become An Educational Consultant: Black Ambition

Mike Yates works to reinvent the school system. Every single day. THAT is what gets him up in the morning. 

Right now he is the Senior Managing Director of Network Strategies of the TFA Reinvention Lab. I'm looking to find, connect and add value to people doing the real work of school reinvention. 

When Mike is not working in the lab he coaches public speakers, advises education startups, and hosts a podcast called Schoolish. He now has a newsletter called Schoolish: The Newsletter where I am covering all things future of learning! 

Each morning when his four children wake up he looks at his "why" in the face. Each of them is a reminder that this system of education in the US must change to support all kinds of learners with a fire in their eyes and curiosity bubbling around in their minds.
