Adam Peterson

Adam Peterson is an award-winning educator from Illinois and a nationally recognized speaker. After spending more than a decade as a kindergarten teacher, Adam now uses his knowledge and talents to inspire, educate, and motivate other teachers to create classrooms that encourage creativity, play, and hands-on learning. When he’s not working with teachers on location, Adam spends his time at home creating YouTube videos for teachers, co-hosting the popular podcast, The Classroom Collaborative with Deedee Wills, and writing any chance he gets. Adam’s most recent accomplishment was being a featured speaker at the event TEDxNormal 2019, where he shared his message of making the world a brighter place through his Make Someone’s Day Yellow talk and his #betheyellow campaign! Being a believer that family comes first, Adam spends every free second he has with his beautiful wife, Trisha, and their two amazing children.
