Michael Troeger is Featured in a New Professional Profile

During the course of the interview, the veteran educator and educational consultant revealed some fascinating ideas, insights, and opinions.

SHOKAN, NY / ACCESSWIRE / February 20, 2023 / When Michael Troeger, a lifelong educator, expert educational consultant, and respected researcher based out of upstate New York, was approached about becoming the featured subject of a new professional profile, he agreed readily, eager to share both his wisdom and an ethical infusion with the public. The profile, which was conducted by the writing staff of an online periodical that focuses on matters relating to business, leadership, and technology, was published on February 13, 2023.

At the outset of the interview, Michael is asked to define his educational philosophy. “My approach to education is defined by being a relational and ethical leader, which means that I’m student-centric and intent on doing the right thing,” he replies, elaborating, “There’s a common quote amongst my fellow educators that students don’t really care what you know until they know that you care. It may sound trite, but there is truth to that. Simple empathy is a great start, which typically manifests in listening. In actively listening, you’re saying to your students and to your staff that their opinions matter. This has implications for instruction, as well as for professional development, and conflict resolution. In fact, active listening is crucial when trying to solve any tough issues.”

Regarding ethics, Troeger shared, “The most difficult obstacle I’ve encountered in my career has been dealing with unethical and corrupt systems, particularly in the field of education. I came into my career with a higher set of ideals, as well as a higher set of expectations of people.”

Later in the profile, Michael Troeger addresses a question about his long-term career goals, answering, “This may sound a little unusual, but essentially, I think people are my legacy. My career goal is to continue to effectively and ethically work with my students and staff. Investing in them is what’s most important to me. From my point of view, seeing positive transformations in my students and staff, seeing the hope that comes from engaging with them, and helping them acquire the skills they need to live successful lives… is really what it’s all about.”
