Shownotes

Today Principal Z gives his presentation from MCEX mainstage as he discusses media, capital, and public education: how the ntNFT will upend public schools.

Principal Z has been developing decentralized audio and video tools since 1999: first as a software engineer in Palo Alto, CA and nonprofit corporation co-founder (‘99 - ‘03), then as an award-winning physics/robotics teacher ('03-'09), and now as a turnaround principal and public speaker ('10-present). Creating curricula that integrated microphones, cameras and digital editing consistently produced breakthrough student outcomes. 

In 2009 “Z” was selected to lead a school design team in New York City. After a delay in securing a new school building he brought his approach to an alternative school serving low-income students who had been unsuccessful at other high schools. The school was persistently low achieving (PLA/SINI) and scheduled for closure when he arrived. 

Within 18 months the school was awarded “A” quality ratings and was pulled from the shut-down list. Seven consecutive years of skyrocketing student outcomes followed, along with widespread recognition for the digital-media-centered approach to school reform. 

In 2020 Principal Z published Education in the Digital Age: How We Get There based on his seventeen years of experience bringing digital literacy to high-poverty public school communities. After having worked with hundreds of high-school-age students in the foster care system, the Zeimer Family themselves became foster parents in Central Harlem, New York City.
