Peter's greatest skill is listening. He's more interested in solving problems than "being right". That makes him a valuable mentor and presenter.

Peter is an incredibly passionate and thoughtful leader. His vision for Disrupt Education is spot on: traditional education is failing many of our students. I've learned a ton from Peter and his work. His commitment to youth and their development has been a continuous source of inspiration for me personally.

I have seen Peter Hostrawser motivate students to start-up their own blogs, vlogs, shoe businesses, small businesses and other passions. It is always a good idea to have Peter speak as he consistently finds new funny, creative ways to inspire.

Peter Hostrawser is a promoter and practitioner of 21st century education. I spent one semester co-instructing with him in Oak Park, Illinois, and subsequently invited him to observe projects I was managing in Oakland, California. My experience confirms that Peter is dedicated and gifted.
