Grandview Heights Schools Director of 21st Century Learning Marc Alter has been nominated for the 2018-2019 national LifeChanger of the Year award.

Alter was nominated for putting students at the forefront of every decision he makes. He began his career as an art teacher before moving from technology coach to integration coach, and finally to Director of 21st Century Learning. In his current role of helping teachers grow to meet their students' needs, he has continued to work directly with students from kindergarten through high school.

Alter designed and teaches an exploratory class in which high school seniors explore their passions, develop critical thinking skills, and identify their own learning styles. Students who have never considered college as an option for themselves are able to accomplish more than they ever thought they could and have had their worldview and life options expanded because they believe in themselves.
