Jonathan is a passionate educator and &amp;nbsp;the author of an an awesome new book titled  Next Level Teaching: Empowering Students and Transforming Culture. Jonathan and I have some great laughs and a fantastic conversation about what it truly means to level-up, make a difference in the lives of students, and how to deliver 'next level teaching.'&amp;nbsp; We talk student engagement, student motivation, and building relationships to enhance the classroom and school culture,&amp;nbsp;and so much more.&amp;nbsp; Jonathan Alsheimer is a&amp;nbsp;champion fighting for the limitless possibilities of teachers as a driving force for infectious classrooms and positive school culture. Jonathan Alsheimer is the unorthodox, energetic, and entertaining middle school teacher who refuses to live a life of limitations and works with UFC Fighters, Celebrities, and Clothing Brands. Jonathan is the author of  &quot;NEXT LEVEL TEACHING&quot; published by Dave Burgess Consulting and can be found on Amazon.&amp;nbsp; As a passionate educator and National Keynote Speaker always striving to be &quot;That Teacher&quot; that his students remember!&amp;nbsp; Jonathan, teaches at the world-renowned Fred Lynn Middle School, which was featured in multiple documentaries &quot;Relentless&quot; and &quot;Relentless: Chasing Accreditation.\u201d He has been featured as the teacher who forged a partnership with UFC Fighter and light-weight contender Paul Felder to bring a message of never giving up, fighting for their education, and empowering the students to believe in themselves, all principles that Jonathan promotes in his classroom.&amp;nbsp; Jonathan Alsheimer also partnered with Fear the Fighter, MMA clothing brand to establish a stop-bullying campaign with &quot;Relentless&quot; Principal Hamish Brewer. Jonathan Alsheimer didn't stop there and established a formed a relationship with Chris &quot;Drama&quot; Pfaff, MTV reality star and CEO of Young and Reckless to bring clothing to his &quot;students in need&quot; and worked to build student leaders in his school. As Jonathan always says, &quot;Game-changing is not a cliche motto; it is a way of life... some talk about it while others live by it!
