Last week, Fred and his wife Jo Lynne flew into Manila and drove 2 hours north to speak with teachers in Bataan Province – one group in the morning and the other in the afternoon.  

The next day’s big convention in Manila had 3,000 teachers.  It was the most comfortable large venue Fred has experienced.  Three big screens made it up close and personal even with that size crowd!

Fred spoke with over 4500 teachers during his three days in the Philippines.

Signing hundreds of books and posing for an equal number of pictures, Fred and fellow presenter Hal Urban were made to feel like rock stars by the teachers of the Philippines!

The crowd was energizing and enthusiastic listening to Fred speak on Tools for Teaching.
