I’m Desiree Michael
Next-Gen Educational Leader & Teacher:

Researched and designed a K-12 teaching and learning digital video platform for scaffolding curricula and an educational news network. Additionally, I marketed plush toys for language acquisition and emotional support. I presented these projects to Cisco Education, 20th Century Fox Technologies, Star Wars Business Development, and MTV Greece.
Desiree designs successful learning for 21st-century learners. By accessing the amygdala, she inspires educators to create fun and applied learning environments using everything from food to robotics. Through R&D, she has successfully utilized advertising, machine learning practices, and emergent technologies to develop and implement a technique of rapid cognition. In 2007, she published her 30-Second Approach to Learning and later presented it as Z-axis learning–a three-dimensional way of teaching in seconds. Her technique is simply the theory of Schroedinger’s Cat applied to information and the human capacity to learn in seconds. The technique, when applied to students, becomes accelerated learning at any level.
Desiree has been nominated as a Disney teacher by her fifth-grade class. Additionally, she is an exceptional leader who successfully led her plush toy design team to the doors of major top-tier companies, demonstrating her marketing, acumen, and creativity.
