Eric Sigman is an advocate for changing the face of education to one that is responsive to student’s needs socially, emotionally and academically. Over the past 10 years as an administrator, he has implemented this practice as an Administrative Intern, Summer School Principal, K - 12 STEM Coordinator and Elementary Assistant Principal.
Eric became an avid student of the educational reform mindset, not only for myself but also for my students. Attending various educational conferences, reading various books and learning from leaders in the field, this mindset is now central to my lifestyle. As a result, he managed to capture, grow and share these experiences with many students and staff.
Today Eric is a school administrator, father of four and educational consultant.
