Hi, I'm Thomas O'Brien — transforming education through leadership and innovation.
I help schools transform mathematics instruction and strengthen leadership systems through research-based strategies, data-informed improvement, and emerging technology.
I also write about learning, leadership, and the lessons that shape us as educators, parents, and lifelong learners.
"The heart of leadership is learning — in the classroom, at home, and everywhere in between."
