Empowering Students. Equipping Schools. Transforming Futures.
Hello, my name is John Harrell, and I am your Empowered Educator. I specialize in bringing the Empowered Program to schools, guiding students through an engaging, principle-based learning experience that develops decision-making skills, entrepreneurial thinking, and real-world problem-solving abilities.
I donβt just introduce the programβI lead it. When a school partners with me, I take charge of launching and managing Empowered to ensure that students, parents, and school leaders experience the transformative power of this program.
If youβre a school leader looking to innovate your schoolβs approach to education, this is your opportunity to bring Empowered to your students by hiring me to implement and lead the program.
Empowered is a turnkey educational solution that prepares students to think independently, take ownership of their futures, and succeed in a world that demands critical thinking, financial literacy, and entrepreneurial problem-solving.
β
For School Leaders β A unique opportunity to offer a high-impact, real-world learning experience without adding extra work for your faculty. I take care of the entire setup, implementation, and instruction.
β
For Parents β An investment in your childβs future, equipping them with practical decision-making skills, economic literacy, and leadership development.
β
For Students β A fun and engaging way to learn how the world works, how to make smart choices, and how to create value for themselves and others.
By hiring me, your school gains access to a fully managed program, ensuring seamless implementation and student success.
Empowered goes beyond traditional education by teaching students how to think, act, and lead.
