Informazioni sull?autore

Jay Ashcroft is cofounder of LearnMaker, a school leadership and development company that lends a platform to his successful corporate world experience and passion for education. In 2010, Jay was selected to join Apple and lead a new store in a destination location in the North of England, training and developing a team of over 50 staff members. Jay took the store from inception to one of the top performers in Europe in his first 12 months. Moving into the education technology sector, Jay was recruited to establish and develop a Northern territory for a national Apple reseller. When Jay left two years later, he had overseen over £2 million of Apple technology deployed into schools and worked with thousands of teachers. Today, Jay works with school leaders to develop high performing cultures that bring about better results, improve efficiency and make leading a school a much more enjoyable process. Since founding LearnMaker, Jay has been nominated for the prestigious NAACE Impact Award, invited onto a three year Europe wide project and personally supported numerous school leaders.
