Teaching Like a Referee Nick Desanctis

After being an accomplished professional in the college athletics industry, Nick made a career change to become a high school teacher. The transition into the classroom came with challenges, but he had a unique set of skills that he had developed on the side as a lacrosse official. In the classroom, Nick leaned on the skills and tools that made him successful on the field. Officiating is more than blowing a whistle and spotting fouls and Nick takes you through how to use these additional skills as a teacher. Partially the memoir of a first year teacher, partially a classroom management guide, put on your stripes and learn to Teach Like a Referee.
