Scott Todnem | Mindful Teaching

Mindful teaching and mindset leading. LifeIsTheFuture.com

Scott Todnem has been teaching Health Education at Scullen Middle School in Naperville, Illinois since 2001. In that time, hundreds of students each year have gone through a course about the best subject in the world: LIFE.

Social Health impacts who we are; our interactions from the past can drastically shape who we become in our future. Therefore, this YouTube channel, the LifeIsTheFuture.com webpage, and other social media have become a fun and creative way to express lifelong connections and learning... to remember the past and reminisce... and to look into the future and wonder.
