Pop quiz: What kind of educator blasts music, dances on chairs and encourages students to skip class?<\/p>\n

Answer: Hamish Brewer, a.k.a. \u201cThe Relentless Principal\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m about breaking rules in a good sense,\u201d said Brewer, whose unorthodox leadership approach earned him the commanding title, along with national recognition as an \u201ceducational disruptor\u201d who transforms struggling schools. Now principal of Northern Virginia\u2019s Fred Lynn Middle School, he\u2019s been named a Hometown Hero by Fox 5 in Washington, D.C., and featured on NBC Nightly News<\/a><\/em>. And his video \u201cThe Relentless Principal<\/strong><\/a>\u201d has generated more than 24 million views.<\/p>\n

Brewer spewed enthusiasm last night to the teachers, school officials, community members and College of Education (COE) students who packed UMW\u2019s Chandler Ballroom. His high-energy talk urged aspiring educators to value each child, never give up on anyone, and be open to bending the rules, but his main mission was to get them pumped up about their future jobs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have the most amazing profession in the world,\u201d he told the crowd. \u201cThe most amazing work gets done by us \u2013 nobody else.\u201d<\/p>\n

COE Dean Peter Kelly introduced Brewer as an educator with the ability to produce amazing results under difficult circumstances. \u201cPublic schools need to teach all<\/em> children,\u201d Kelly said. \u201cHamish knows something about that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brewer, a former Fredericksburg resident, shared his struggles throughout school in his native New Zealand, starting in kindergarten, when his teacher said he was \u201cdumb.\u201d He told of his own \u2013 much different \u2013 start as a kindergarten teacher, encouraging students and finding ways to get through to them all, regardless of labels like special needs, ESL and underprivileged.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t ever tell me a child can\u2019t learn,\u201d Brewer said. \u201cIf you tell me a child can\u2019t learn, I just saw a teacher who can\u2019t teach.\u201d<\/p>\n

His energy and unabashed approach gave his career wings, and as a first-time principal, he championed innovative programs that got Prince William County\u2019s Occoquan Elementary recognized as a National Title I Distinguished School. He\u2019s been named in the top of his field by the National Association of Elementary School Principals, received the School Bell Award from the Virginia Association of Elementary School Principals and earned the Virginia Impact Award from the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development.<\/p>\n

Brewer had eyed Fred Lynn \u2013 an unaccredited school packed with English language learners and economically disadvantaged students \u2013 for years, he told last night\u2019s crowd, and hopes to further his reputation as a change-maker there.<\/p>\n

Daniel Webb, M.Ed. \u201917, a first-year teacher at Stafford\u2019s Brooke Point High School, said he was invigorated by Brewer\u2019s talk, which received a standing ovation.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe really inspired us to keep working hard and being passionate about the field,\u201d said Emily Saia, a COE student on the special education track.<\/p>\n

Brewer applauded UMW\u2019s five-year master of education program and appealed to its students to stick to the core curriculum as teachers, maintain open communication with parents, engage the community and always give 100 percent.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be a great, amazing teacher is hard work,\u201d he said. \u201cYou guys are the next wave of amazing teachers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
