Growth is a Vibe! - Tristan Love - Armstrong 342
1:30 PM - 2:30 PM Sat
Tristan Love is passionate about making school a safe and
supportive place to learn, grow and develop. Tristan began his
educational journey as a high school science teacher and Teach for
America Corps member in Houston. Tristan's "whole student"
approach to teaching played an instrumental role in increasing
student achievement, student morale, and appreciation for science.
As an administrator at the same school, Tristan assisted the school
in breaking a long streak of underperformance, as well as a
decrease in severe discipline infractions, and recidivism in
alternative school placements. Afterward, Tristan helped the district
create and oversee a districtwide Disciplinary Alternative
Educational Program (DAEP) that supported more than 50 high
schools. As a principal in Colorado Springs, Tristan continued his
work in making school a safe and supportive place for students to
learn, grow, and develop. Currently, Tristan is the Director of
Learning and Engagement for Wayfinder. He supports hundreds of
schools worldwide in preparing students to survive and thrive after
secondary school. Tristan's journey and work have been featured in
The Wall Street Journal, RoadTrip Nation, and several other news
outlets.
