About the Author

Tom Hierck has been an educator since 1983 and has held a variety of roles, including teacher, department head, vice principal, principal, director of international programs, sessional university instructor, Ministry of Education project coordinator, and assistant superintendent. This has allowed him the opportunity to see education from a myriad of perspectives that are reflected in his writing.

Hierck is a compelling presenter, infusing his message of hope with strategies culled from the real world. He has presented to schools and districts across North America and overseas with a message of celebration for educators seeking to make a difference in students’ lives. Hierck’s dynamic presentations explore the importance of being purpose driven in creating positive learning environments and a positive school culture, responding to the behavioral and academic needs of students, and utilizing assessment to improve student learning. His belief that every student is a success story waiting to be told has led him to work with teachers and administrators to create the kinds of learning environments that are effective for all educators while building strong relationships that facilitate learning for all students.

Hierck was a recipient of the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medallion, presented by the premier and lieutenant governor of British Columbia, for being a recognized leader in the field of public education. He earned a bachelor’s degree and teacher certification from the University of British Columbia and a master’s degree from Gonzaga University.

This is the ninth Solution Tree title bearing Hierck’s name, with number ten now being drafted. He contributed to The Teacher as Assessment Leader and The Principal as Assessment Leader, coauthored the best-selling books Pyramid of Behavior Interventions: Seven Keys to a Positive Learning Environment and Starting a Movement: Building Culture From the Inside Out in Professional Learning Communities, and coauthored Uniting Academic and Behavior Interventions: Solving the Skill or Will Dilemma, Strategies for Mathematics Instruction and Intervention, 6–8, and Assessing Unstoppable Learning. His first solo effort, Seven Keys to a Positive Learning Environment in Your Classroom, was published in 2016.
