225 Jim Curtis - Educator & Visionary

Youth Worker On Fire Podcast

All public school teachers are not created equal. They have different talents, teaching styles, and skills. They have different backgrounds and purposes that drive them.

Jim Curtis is one of those supreme educators with his students and colleagues in mind. He served during the devastation of Hurricane Andrew in 1992 with us, because his students were going and he wanted to be apart of what they were doing. That is waaaaay over the required work of a teacher!

We slept on the floor of a church and served in harsh conditions during an impossible situation. In this episode, Jim shares he and his wife’s experience during our missions trip to South Florida to assist the people of that area that were affected by this natural disaster. He is one of those teachers I loved to be around. I had the privilege of sitting in his classroom on many occasions and was captivated each and every time.

Jim is also an avid world traveler... the long time Geography educator and visionary living and experiencing what he teaches on! We also dive into his many world travels and experiences that fueled his passion for the educational teaching path he chose.

Enjoy this episode as we navigate through Jim's incredible life experiences, as well as, his personal take on past and present education within the school systems.
