David Ginsburg is a former business executive who has served 23 years in K-12 public schools: as a math teacher and instructional coach in the Chicago Public Schools; school administrator in Philadelphia; and leader of a national consulting group that specializes in instructional coaching, leadership coaching, and Common Core implementation. He has taught education courses, and has been a featured speaker at many conferences including the 2016 NCTM Conference in San Francisco. He holds M.B.A. and M.Ed. degrees, and is the author of the popular Education Week blog, Coach G’s Teaching Tips. David was born and raised in the Chicago area, and graduated from Niles West High School in Skokie.

I had the pleasure of seeing David Ginsburg at the 2016 NCTM Conference. Paul Christmas summoned me to a large ballroom and told me not to miss it. Every seat was filled and people were standing around the perimeter of the room. He held the attention of that large crowd and made many of us forget that we didn't have a seat. Join us on October 21st at Fountain Blue to see this engaging speaker with ties to Chicago!
