Welcome to Dean Jacobs’ rich collection of educational content designed to inspire students, enliven the classroom and challenge us to dream.

Dean’s educational content is based on three universal values: to Dream Big, Live Tall, and Make the World Better.

Dream Big

Dreaming Big is about opening doors, to courage, to curiosity, and to a future shaped by vision and action. Every individual deserves the right to aspire and be inspired, to see something greater in themselves and the world around them.

Live Tall

To Live Tall means to move through the world with dignity, kindness, and courage, rooted in the strength to respect others and the wisdom to value yourself. It’s a powerful posture of presence and purpose, where kindness becomes a way of life, and your values stand taller than your fears.

Make the World Better

To Make the World Better is all about heart with purpose, and the courage to care. It’s not about waiting for change, but becoming the reason it happens, growing through what we live and serving through what we’ve learned.
