Nick LaFave - Professional Development

In addition to regularly presenting at local, state, national, and international conferences, I bring professional consulting to school districts, schools, companies, and non-profits.

I offer consulting services and engaging professional development experiences from a classroom teacher’s point of view. My 20 years of classroom teaching experience with technology range from a traditional computer lab to teaching in a 1:1 classroom — and everything in between!

My popular professional development workshops range from one-hour sessions to full-day training. I work with decision makers to customize all workshops to audience needs.

If you are interested in working with me, please contact me directly at [email protected].
