About the Author
As a child, and even young adult, Dr. Justin Treisch did not enjoy school all that much. He pretty much had one outlet, sports. Dr. Treisch spent the first four years of his life, after high school, in the United States Marine Corps. At eighteen years old, Dr. Treisch was unsure what he wanted to do with his life, but knew he needed to be productive and wanted to be challenged. When he got out of the Marine Corps, he began his journey toward becoming an educator. He went on to complete his Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education and Special Education in 2007. He earned a Master’s Degree in Special Education, with a focus in school improvement, in 2009. Dr. Treisch also earned a Doctorate Degree in Special Education from Nova Southeastern University in August 2014. Dr. Treisch has also completed a plethora of graduate level courses in a wide range of educational and instructional leadership topics. Dr. Treisch currently works for the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) and is blessed to have the opportunity to serve as an educator and administrator in numerous locations around the world. He considers himself to be a lifelong learner who believes the power of positivity, perseverance, and laughter is often underrated. Dr. Treisch has a vision that his book could possibly help teachers, as well as all individuals who read this book, gain a better understanding of what some students experience on a daily basis in school.
