Focus Collegiate Welcomes Summer Cohort Learning Specialist and Guest Lecturer, Geoff Anstatt

We are thrilled to announce that Geoff Anstatt has joined the Focus Collegiate team as our Summer Cohort Learning Specialist and Guest Lecturer. Geoff’s work with us represents an exciting new partnership with Worth Learning LLC, where he is founder and lead academic coach.

Geoff’s twenty-year teaching career is driven by empathy and excellence. For him, teaching and learning begin with empathy for the whole person and an asset-based understanding of each student’s lived experience.

For him, teaching and learning begin with empathy for the whole person and an asset-based understanding of each student’s lived experience. His teaching style bolsters student engagement and research shows time and again that when students are engaged and have agency—when they have active input into a future based on their personal goals and individual talents—they find greater success and satisfaction in school and in life. Their grades improve, they are more likely to persist through academic challenges, and they have richer social lives.

This approach is central to Geoff’s success as an educator. It drives him to hold high expectations for himself and his students, expectations that lead to the development of a strong academic identity, which is the foundation of excellence.
