WELCOMING KIM CAMPBELL

Kim Campbell travels across the country, energizing educational professionals as a dynamic presenter and self-proclaimed “Proud Middle School Teacher/Administrator.”  After 33 years, she still loves it!

At home in the Hopkins School District in Hopkins, MN, Kim augments her classroom role with a position as the Dean of Students at her school. As a Dean, Kim’s primary focus is discipline and school culture. Kim also works, inspires and learns from educators from all over the world in her role as a consultant.  

Among her honors are 2004 semi-finalist for MN Teacher of the Year, 2009 Fox one of nine Top Teachers of the Year and in 2012 was named Minnesota Middle Level Educator of the Year.  

Kim is the author of If You Can’t Manage Them, You Can’t Teach Them, and just launched her second book, The Teacher’s Game Plan: Winning With Students From Day One.  

After 33 years of teaching and 12 years as a Dean, Kim says that there’s no place she’d rather be than hanging with kids and adults passionate about learning together.   

Session 1: We Will Survive!

Educators survive because teachers know and understand that having a sense of humor, building positive, strong relationships, and finding ways to laugh are critical to survival.

Join Kim as she leads a session that’s focused on laughing, playing, and celebrating all the great things about being an educator.  

Session 2: The Teacher's Game Plan: Winning with Students From Day One

Let’s work toward a classroom culture that supports learning and success for everyone!
