Jason Filie

Training Specialist

After having spent 20+ years in the classroom, Jason Filie now helps connect educators to our educational strategy and resources as part of our Training Team. An athlete and coach, Jason understands his first role is to provide educators with the encouragement, resources, and support they need to be confident in their abilities – in this case to transform their classroom putting student impact first.

Jason is a firm believer in giving teachers – as they do their students – ample space to be innovative and passionate. Doing so allows them to become the best version of themselves so they can then give back to others in their classrooms and communities.

Empathetic and relationship-driven, Jason says “Passion” is the Foundational Principle he connects with the most. His passion is honored by the fulfillment he receives helping others discover what they need to succeed.

Jason, a graduate of Michigan State University, lives outside of his hometown of Detroit, Michigan. The father of three amazing sons means busy, fun-filled days and the inspiration for Jason Filie to remain a lifelong learner, even if it’s just a tiny step each day.
