About Mike Earnshaw

First and foremost, Michael Earnshaw is a father to two beautiful children, husband to the most amazing woman in the universe, and Dog Dad to the one and only Goldendoodle, Ruby Mae. He spent nearly fifteen years as a middle-school ELA teacher before transitioning into school administration. Michael believes that in order to empower students and staff to know their strengths, own their areas of growth, be comfortable with collaboration, and be confident in the power of their voice to change this world for the better, it all begins with trusting relationships and a positive school culture.

Michael’s approaches are hands-on, out of the box, and fun, all while fostering growth and learning. Michael loves to share his vision and approaches to education through speaking at educational conferences, blogging, writing, and talking on his podcast, Punk Rock Classrooms.

When Michael is not trying to make the world a better place, spreading his message, and spending time with his family you can find him training for marathons with early morning runs, pretending he’s strong in his basement gym and listening to punk rock and skateboarding.
