Steve Springer has taught and developed training programs for the Los Angeles Unified School District for over 15 years. He has been a mentor and master teacher throughout his career. He has used this experience along with his talents in fine arts to write and illustrate several books for teachers. The Organized Teacher and The Creative Teacher, published by McGraw-Hill, are two of these books that offer visual hands-on guides to organizing and creating a dynamic classroom.

Steve recently started a program called Reach and Teach. His vision was to share his teaching experience with other teachers. Over sixty teachers were in-serviced in South Africa. They left empowered to create a more exciting, interactive classroom. Each participant received a McGraw-Hill resource book and a set of supplies. The program was well received and he plans to continue his involvement.
