News 12 Long Island recently profiled Sachem East teacher Scott Kennedy for his outside-the-box and creative teaching methods.

Kennedy, a math teacher at East, creates many lessons with video and utilizes a digital approach in the classroom. He’s also not afraid to bring a guitar in and sing a lesson plan or two either.

“The goal for me and all my videos is to reach as many students as I can,” Kennedy told New 12’s Elizabeth Hashagen. “I like to incorporate as much technology, music, and humor that I can in the classroom.”

Earlier this year Kennedy was selected by TED-Ed to have his lessons turned into digital animations and featured on their website.
