About Nathan Maynard:
When Nathan was younger, he struggled in school. He was diagnosed with ODD and ADHD combined with a high amount of trauma. Nathan was motivated by fitting in and pursued that by associating with paths to criminality as a kid. These lived experiences later helped Nathan become a successful youth worker, teacher, and school administrator for over 11 years. Nathan was nominated and won "Youth Worker of the Year" in Indiana voted by the youth he worked with in the juvenile justice system across the county he lived after being a youth worker for 7 years This work led him then to teach and later become an administrator in two cutting-edge charter networks. At Goodwill’s Excel Center, he helped students become college-and-career ready with work-based education and skill development. At Purdue’s Polytechnic High School, he was the Dean of Culture and helped found the first high school. Nathan is now the global thought leader in discipline. With a bachelor's degree in Neuroscience from Purdue University, he combined hard lived experience with research to understand how trauma impacts students, learning environments, and brain development. These experiences inspired him to co-write the best-selling book "Hacking School Discipline," which has been recognized internationally as a best-seller in 23 countries and used in over 400 universities. He is currently the CEO and Founder of Highfive to create connected school communities and reduce recidivism in negative classroom behaviors with reimagining discipline practices internationally.
