John R Passarini
Educator, Coach
I ohn R. Passarini is a phenomenal educator because to him J it all begins with caring and heart. The second you engage nim in conversation, he teaches by example that if you respect people for who they are, it enhances their self-esteem. That's who John Passarini is! John R. Passarini has been a teacher for 34 years. He holds an EdD in Special Education. He taught physical education and health in the Waltham Public Schools for 18 years, and founded the Waltham High School wrestling team, which he coached for 13 years. For the past 16 years John has taught adapted physical education in the Wayland Public Schools. He is in the process of retiring from teaching with the goal of becoming an educational consultant.
In 2002, John was named the Adapted Physical Education National Teacher of the Year by the American Association for Active Lifestyles and Fitness and in 2003, he received the prestigious honor of being named the Disney Outstanding Teacher of the Year. A parent of one of John's students said, "To me, Coach Pass personifies the truth that each child is worth it, and it was his incredible faith in Katie that set her spirit free."
He is a national teaching treasure. He teaches out of the box.
