About this listen
What happens when a high school English teacher becomes the founding cybersecurity instructor at a cutting-edge innovation school? In this episode of inkED, Dr. Rob sits down with Bryan Quillen, a Kentucky educator whose journey from teaching literature to launching a cybersecurity program shows just how powerful teacher transformation can be.
A proud Kentucky Innovative Teacher Fellowship alumnus and OVEC Deeper Learning Teacher Navigator, Bryan now serves as the founding teacher of the cybersecurity pathway at The HILL — Lexington’s Hub for Innovative Learning and Leadership. He shares how he reimagined his role as an educator, turned student curiosity into statewide impact, and built a hands-on, high-skill learning experience that prepares students for real careers and deeper purpose.
This conversation is full of wisdom, humility, and actionable insight — whether you want to shift your practice, support student agency, or bring relevance and rigor to your classroom.
