About Jon  

The Mission: Protecting the Human Mind

Jon Bergmann is a man on a mission to protect the human mind. Unlike many voices in educational technology, Jon remains a daily practitioner, currently teaching high school science. This "boots on the ground" perspective allows him to lead the Second Revolution of education through The Mastery Flip—a framework built on strategies that actually work in today’s complex classrooms.

As a 40-year veteran and the co-founder of the global Flipped Classroom movement, Jon has spent his career at the intersection of technology and humanity. His work has reached millions of educators and transformed national education systems from Korea to Iceland.

Navigating the Great Bifurcation

Today, Jon is tackling the Great Bifurcation—the critical crossroads where AI can either lead to "cognitive atrophy" or act as a powerful engine for human potential. Because he tests every framework with his own students first, Jon’s Mastery Flip provides a battle-tested roadmap for schools to reclaim the "Human Space" through Analog Roots and validate learning with Human Checks.

He believes that in an AI-driven world, the teacher-student connection is more vital than ever. His goal is simple: to ensure that students—not the bots—are doing the thinking.

A Global Legacy of Innovation

A prolific author of 12 books and a world-renowned speaker, Jon has keynoted on some of the world’s most prestigious stages, including TED and major international conferences on every continent. His insights on the future of learning have been featured in The New York Times, CNN, and Education Week.

Beyond the stage and the classroom, Jon hosts the Reach Every Student Podcast and continues to work directly with school districts worldwide to ensure that the next generation is prepared for a future where high-tech meets high-humanity.
