Hi, I am Todd LaVogue. I have a Master’s degree in Reading for English Speakers of Other Languages from Nova Southeastern University in Miami, Florida, and a Bachelor of Science degree in Organizational Leadership from Palm Beach Atlantic University in West Palm Beach, Florida.
I have Florida Department of Education certification in Engineering and Technology Education 6-12, Educational Media Specialist PK-12, Business Education 6-12, Elementary Education K-6, Middle Grades Integrated 6-12 and Social Science 5-9. I have educational endorsements in Reading Education, and English for Speakers of Other Languages. I hold Internet Business Associate and Site Development Associate industry certifications.
I am a TED Ed Innovative Educator and presented on the red dot at TED Ed Weekend. I was named one of the 15 Most Innovative and Inspiring Educators in America by Microsoft. At the Microsoft Partners in Learning Global Forum in Prague, Czech Republic in 2012, my learning activity placed third in the world out of 260,000 entries. In Budapest, Hungary, in 2016, at a similar Microsoft event, I led a group of educators from seven countries to a first place award in the Gamify category. My annual student letter writing campaign, Write a Letter, Save a Life, was lauded on the floor of Congress and entered in United States Congressional Record.
I have personally advised the current King of Spain on matters of education. That was a very cool moment, albeit nervous at the time at a table with His Majesty for 90 minutes! I have collaborated on ICT strategy for Learn for Japan a non-profit that works with the Japanese Ministry of Education.
I was named the Palm Beach County School District Career and Technical Education Middle School Teacher of the Year, Palm Beach County School District Most Innovative Educator as well as a recipient of the Dwyer Award for Excellence in Education Teacher of the Year in a school district of 20,000 teachers.
I was one of five classrooms, in the state of Florida, awarded a $50,000 STEM Classroom Makeover Grant from Florida Power & Light and Next Era Energy in May, 2024.
I served on the Board of Governors for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Palm Beach and Martin Counties and advised its School to Work Program, which helps hundreds of teens gain valuable real-world work experience. I also served on the Board of Directors for Kayla Cares 4 Kids, a national non profit bringing books, movies and games to children's hospitals. I have also helped NASA with social media at multiple launches.
