Have You Registered for Kevin Honeycutt’s Workshop? Great Opportunity for Educators: Recognize Poverty, Develop Strategies To Empower Students to Improve Academic Potential

Kevin Honeycutt grew up in poverty and as he witnessed education around the country, he collected powerful experiences that still influence his conversations and his work with educators. He spent 13 years teaching K-12 art in public school and for 17 years spent summers leading creative adventure camps for kids of all ages. Kevin is the author of the book Midnight Run, which is his story of growing up in poverty.
