Mike Rutherford (@mikerford) - Can't Knock The Hustle

Mike has been in education all his life either as a student, middle school teacher, K-12 technology professional developer, school district EdTech director, K-12 industry consultant and business development, educational publishing and professional development executive, middle school and high school teacher, librarian, and EdTech entrepreneur - actually in that order! Most recently Mike moved back to the States from Bangkok, Thailand where he returned to the classroom as a 6th-grade English Language Arts and Social Studies teacher at International School Bangkok. After returning to the U.S. Mike started Growth Over Time Learning (gotLearning) in 2020 based on the software he built to manage the learning conversations in his middle school grade classroom.
