Barry Corbin, M.Ed., is an educational consultant and part-time lecturer in the School of Education, Acadia University, Nova Scotia, Canada. He is recently retired from the Annapolis Valley Regional School Board, where he served for over 30 years as teacher, school administrator, curriculum and program consultant and staff developer. Barry has also served as consultant and advisor to several Department of Education initiatives for the province of Nova Scotia, Canada. In his last role with the AVRSB, he served as Youth Pathways and Transitions consultant where he was responsible for researching and developing alternate educational programs and pathways for under-achieving high school students. As an independent consultant, he frequently presents at professional development workshops and in-services on such topics as brain-compatible teaching and learning, multiple intelligences and learning styles, differentiated instruction, authentic assessment as well as collaborative/cooperative teaching strategies. His workshops are enthusiastically endorsed by those in attendance because he engages his audiences with many of the interactive strategies he advocates in his writing.

He is the co-author of two high school social studies texts used in Atlantic Canada.
