Norman Eng
New York
CHILDHOOD EDUCATION INSTRUCTOR
Know your target audience. These are the 4 words Norman lives by, inspired from his days in advertising. Like clients, students insist instructors meet their needs. Norman’s ability to do this explains why over 90% of students recommended him this past semester, with 100% highly recommending him during the fall 2013. Furthermore, 98% of those who have taken his math ed course pass the departmental proficiency exam. Norman was also nominated as one of Nat'l Honor Roll’s Outstanding American Teachers in 2006.
EDUCATION RESEARCHER
Norman focuses on 21st century education—for the 99%. He recently co-edited a symposium and enlisted some of the industry’s top scholars (incl. Nel Noddings, James Comer, and Carol Ann Tomlinson) to articulate their vision of 21st century excellence in education. He then developed a new “ownership-based” approach, which he will present on May 2015 at Brooklyn College. READ his articles on The Educated Society.
