Who is Todd Whitaker?

Todd Whitaker is an American educator, writer, motivational speaker, educational consultant and professor, and one of the leading presenters in the field of education. His output is frankly staggering: more than sixty books on staff motivation, teacher leadership, technology, middle level practices, instructional improvement and principal effectiveness, including the national best-seller What Great Teachers Do Differently.

Until 2016 he was a professor of educational leadership at Indiana State University, which in 2013 awarded him its President’s Medal – the university’s highest honour for faculty. It is the profile of a man who has spent a career not just studying schools but standing in front of the people who run them, which is a rather different discipline.

Todd Whitaker in audiobooks

Our catalogue features What Great Principals Do Differently, and it is easy to see why this material suits audio: a career presenter’s directness, aimed at people with no time to waste. For UK listeners in education – heads, aspiring senior leaders, or teachers quietly wondering what their leadership team is actually for – the American context translates readily, because the underlying questions about motivation and school culture are universal. This is professional development you can absorb on the drive to work, which is rather the point. Expect practical strokes over theory, and a speaker’s knack for making the lesson stick.
