Meet Cole
Cole has been a classroom teacher for 28 years. He has a Bachelors Degree from BYU in English Education, a Masters Degree in Educational Counseling from University of Phoenix and a Educational Administrative Endorsement from Southern Utah University. Cole has worked in counseling, administration, but has chosen to stay in the classroom and prefers being in the classroom with kids where he believes he can have the greatest impact on students.
Classroom Experience
Cole's experience in the classroom gives him great insight into how best to help our students, but Cole has also been a teacher that has championed outside the box thinking and often finds himself at odds with the Utah Education Association (UEA) and National Education Association (NEA). In education, we have complained about the same issues for over 50 years and nothing has changed. Classroom size and teachers salaries are always the hot button issues for over 50 years and nothing has changed.
Cole's Vision
Classroom size and teachers salaries are always the hot button issues, but neither issue has had innovative conservative solutions to solve the problem. Cole has partnered with legislators and political activists to move some of these ideas forward, but the reality is that Cole is needed on our Utah State Board of Education to move forward conservative, free market ideas that can truly improve education four our students and attract more professionals to the teaching industry.
