A Leadership Wake Up Call

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">FuelEd was founded by</span> <strong>Megan Marcus</strong> <span style="font-weight: 400;">in 2012 on the principle that relationships drive learning. While training as a therapist and serving as a researcher for the book</span> <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Social-Neuroscience-Education-Optimizing-Attachment/dp/0393706095"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">The Social Neuroscience of Education</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">by Dr. Louis Cozolino, Marcus recognized the parallels between the teaching and the counseling professions: both are founded on connection, both could promote human development. She knew she was on to something. Her action: pursue a Master’s degree in Education, Policy, and Management from Harvard University to explore whether elements of therapists’ professional training could be translated for an educational audience. Shortly after graduation, Marcus incorporated FuelEd as a non-profit organization and launched her organization with a three-day pilot training for 10 teachers at Houston’s YES Prep Southwest.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Since then, FuelEd has partnered with over one hundred K-12 schools, organizations, and educator preparation programs across the country to help educators develop the emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and attunement necessary to build secure relationships that drive learning and development.</span></p> <p> </p> <h2><strong>Show Highlights</strong></h2> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Destiny’s story in changing lives with new tools and skills sets to overcome adversity.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Student's behavior is an invitation to consider, not react to.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Tips to avoid promoting disenfranchising systems you wish to eradicate.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><spa
