More about Dan and Chelsie

Chelsie Terez Hultz
After spending eleven years teaching both third and fifth grade students, Chelsie went full-circle and returned to Minot State University (her alma mater) as an instructor in Teacher Education. She has a PhD in Teaching and Learning with an emphasis in Teacher Education. Her dream is to continue working at Minot State University while providing professional development for educators regarding their mental health.
Teaching is one heckuva demanding profession! As such, Chelsie's lifelong research interest is mental health and she aims to support educators as they navigate professional demands while balancing personal well-being.
Chelsie and her husband make their home in Minot- not too far from her hometown (Berthold, North Dakota). The couple have four boys between them~ and three grandchildren too! Jesus, family, friends, and people matter most to her. That includes you!
Dan Conn
Dr. Dan Conn is an associate professor at Minot State University. Born and raised in Colorado, Dan grew up riding bucking horses and traveling on the rodeo circuit. After hanging up his spurs, Dan taught a variety of subjects and grade levels in a rural K-12 school for ten years. Among his accomplishments, Dan won the Patricia A. Behring Colorado Teacher of the Year Award (2013) and coached back-to-back state championship 6-man football teams (2011-2012).

Dan also was awarded the Souris Valley Saber Dogs Educator of the Year (2019).
In addition to teaching, Dan has passion for research. Dan’s research has been published in several academic journals, including the Teaching and Curriculum Dialogue, Current Issues in Education, and Curriculum Theorizing — to name a few. Furthermore, Dan recently co-authored — a book Unraveling the Assentment Industrial Complex: Understanding how testing perpetuates inequality and injustice in America (2021, Routledge). For in contributions in teaching and curriculum research, Dan recently won the Minot State University Board of Regents Achievement Award for Scholarship (2021). Dan also serves on the Executive Council of American Association for Teaching and Curriculum; he just finished chairing the 27th Annual AATC Conference in Albuquerque, NM. In addition, Dan’s research helped him to co-found an education consulting company—Anderson, Conn, & Tenam-Zemach LLC (Drop the Knowledge)—and is presently contracted with North Dakota State University.
Dan also is active in his community. During his time in Colorado, Dan served on the Fleming Town Council (2006-2014), Recreational Board (2004-2006) Library Board (2008-2014), and Historical Society (2012-2014). Since moving to Minot, Dan has coached youth football, basketball, and baseball. Dan served on the Board of Directors of the Minot Symphony Orchestra and the Men’s Winter Refuge, and he presently serves at the state level as Vice President of the North Dakota Physical Therapy Board. As founding member of the non-profit dreamBIG Green Schools — which aims to engage local communities in dialogue and action related to climate change — Dan worked with Change Network to plant a community garden based on the gardening traditions of the Mandan Hidatsa, Arikara Nation and the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians. When he is not teaching and researching, Dan enjoys running, swimming, biking, and spending time with his family.
