Daniel Dickey is a published writer and educator. His classroom has been featured nationally in radio reports on NPR and locally on WLRN and State Impact Florida. As a writer, Dickey's opinion editorials have been published in several top 50 newspapers—most notably, commentary in the Sun Sentinel and Hartford Courant. Furthermore, Dickey’s op-ed championing the importance of education was used to lobby the Florida Senate against statewide budget cuts and his 2012 letter to the editor of the Gainesville Sun stressed our country's need for equal rights. Also active in the satirical arts, a one-act play penned by Dickey, Don't Forget to Floss, was produced and recently premiered in New York's West Village.
