Brief Description
Every educator has the power to impact the lives of those around them truly • in the classroom, their school community, and the world. When we intentionally take steps to foster our impact, we can create incredible change that transforms the spaces we exist in together and the lives around us. Teachers, leaders, and staff will be inspired to connect to what makes each of them truly unique and then will be encouraged to nurture and reflect on goals set in the coming year.
Learning Objectives:
As each of us is unique in the way we learn and teach, so are our kids. In this talk, we will be reminded of the importance of belonging and creating environments that promote student voice as a means to engage every child. The relationships we build with each other and with our kids inspires the confidence to take risks and grow as learners together.
Learning Objectives:
Adults are learners, too and as educators, we have a moral obligation to model our beliefs and practices. In this session, we will explore the ways we learn best to continue demonstrating vulnerability to students and colleagues and create a learning culture. Teachers will be inspired to consider their goals and aspirations for this year and their future. What could school look like if everyone was given the support they need?
