Jimmy Casas

Featured Reviews

Jimmy was dynamic and inspiring and gave lots of powerful takeaways for moving schools from average to excellence. One principal told me later, "This is exactly what I needed." Another attendee, an instructional director, said, "Jimmy got me so excited I wanted to run through the wall!" Jimmy also facilitated our EdCamp sessions and efficiently led everyone through choosing sessions, he participated in the discussions, and he kept us on track through transitions

Mr. Casas was inspirational, honest, engaging and passionate as he spoke to our faculty and staff about striving for excellence, building relationships with students, and accepting change as we implement a 1:1 technology initiative

Jimmy can relate to anyone in the education field, whatever capacity you work with kids you will find Jimmy not only relevant but valuable. Jimmy spoke with our teachers and administrators and everyone walked away reflecting on their own practices. If you are looking for an engaging, powerful speaker who makes you think about your systems, processes and procedures Jimmy is your man. You will walk away striving to not only make yourself excellent but also to make those around you excellent!

Jimmy not only energized and inspired the group with his keynote, but he also worked directly with small groups and with principals specifically to help them think through what they can do to become more student-centered. A day with Jimmy always leaves you thinking, inspired, and ready to act.

Jimmy Casas is the best speaker our district has ever hosted! In just two hours, our staff came away motivated, hopeful and upbeat. His message challenged our teachers, yet it reconnected them with their core as educators - loving kids. Jimmy took our staff on a whirlwind rollercoaster as our teachers went from roaring with laughter to silent, serious reflection, and back again, within minutes

Jimmy's enthusiasm and approach in the pursuit of excellence in serving staff, students, and families is infectious. He forced us to reflect inward instead of outward. Our administrators came away with tools they could use immediately in the hiring process and our entire staff left inspired and challenged. Jimmy did an outstanding job energizing staff for the coming year and setting the stage for us to move beyond average to excellence. One teacher was overheard saying

Jimmy challenged our status quo and pushed us to reach for excellence, never allowing us or our staff to "fall to average." After working with Jimmy, we have new set of skills and a common language that will propel our year towards our mission. We had such a great experience, next year is already booked with him!

"Jimmy Casas spent a day with the administrative team at the Flemington Raritan School District this past July. Jimmy is passionate, engaging and helped our team reflect on who we are and what we need to do and be to continue to move our school district forward. Jimmy challenges us all to live and work with purpose and to bring a "no excuses" approach to everything we do when it comes to our work and passions in education. We all walked away better from our time together".

Jimmy did an outstanding job in his keynote address and breakout session for our annual conference. His passion for connecting both digitally and face to face was inspirational. The message that the time to act is now resonated with the conference theme and our participants. Our State has made a significant investment in improving educational performance and a commitment to moving outcomes in the right direction, quickly
