About Mr. Leiser
This year marks my 20th year in the classroom, and I am passionate about finding new, engaging ways to blend digital innovation with traditional practices to boost student engagement and achievement. My goal is to infuse creativity and student choice into every learning experience, making school both meaningful and fun.
In 2015, I was honored to become an Apple Distinguished Educator, joining a global network of educators committed to developing and sharing powerful ideas for transforming teaching and learning. Collaborating with ADEs from around the world continues to inspire and challenge me to grow as an educator.
Outside of school, you’ll often find me rowing, biking, playing pickleball, or enjoying time with my wife and our two sons.
