George Conner is a veteran science and math educator, co-author of Stories of Strength, and founder of Student Strength Now, who spent 40 years teaching 12- to 16-year-olds how to build the habits that make school and life work. What sets George apart isn’t just his experience but the classroom systems he developed to turn chaos into confidence: simple routines for organization, compassionate communication that reduces conflict, and practical strategies that help students strengthen resilience even when they feel behind or overwhelmed. His work is built for the real-world of kids with uneven motivation, families juggling a lot, and teachers who need tools that actually hold up on a Tuesday afternoon.

George breaks down how structure and support can work together without becoming “strict” or cold, and why genuine communication is often the missing link between potential and progress. He shares stories and frameworks that help students move from drifting to owning their choices while giving parents and educators a clear way to reinforce those same skills at home and in the classroom. Along the way, he speaks candidly about adapting to today’s constantly shifting school environment, preventing burnout, and building a sustainable approach to guiding the next generation toward steadier, more empowered success.
