Disruptive Thinking in Our Classrooms: Preparing Learners for Their Future

The world has and continues to change in ways that are difficult to predict. Regardless of the forces at hand, educators play a pivotal role in preparing students for success now and in the future. The best way to do this is to create a disruptive thinking culture in our classrooms and schools that future-proofs learning for ALL kids! Get ready for a roller coaster journey that weaves stories, practical ideas, and insights from thousands of classrooms to create meaningful learning experiences that will withstand the test of time. It’s time to challenge the status quo when it comes to teaching and learning in our classrooms. Our learners—and their future in a bold new world—depend on us.

Bringing Awe to Learning

Awe is a huge component of life—it’s hardwired into our brains. When we experience the sensation of awe, we are consumed by wonder, relevancy, emotion, engagement, inspiration, and real-world connections. Awe is a driving force for learning that will not just benefit our students now but also well into their future. It is also a driving motivational force that inspires educators to not only do their best work but also find greater purpose. It's time for everyone to experience the joy and power of awe as a catalyst for personalized learning as a way to improve outcomes and educator contentment. During this keynote, Eric will share innovative, research-based practices that you can implement to bring back a sense of awe to learning and love for the amazing work educators do for students.

Digital Leadership: Changing Paradigms for Changing Times

Change isn’t coming, as it is already on our doorstep. Educators need to recognize this in order to prepare learners with critical competencies to thrive in a dynamic world. As the world continues to evolve, so must educational practice. Digital leadership represents a strategic shift in mindset and actions that work to usher in needed changes to improve teaching, learning, and leadership while building powerful relationships with stakeholders in the process. The time is now to work smarter, not harder, to achieve better results. Using the Pillars of Digital Leadership, a framework to assist all educators in implementing sustainable change, attendees will be exposed to actionable strategies to support and enhance current areas of professional practice through a digital lens.

Pedagogical Leadership: Seeing the Bigger Picture

Instruction is what the teacher does, whereas learning is what the student does. Here is where a sole emphasis on instructional leadership might not lead to efficacy at scale. Pedagogical leadership, on the other hand, encompasses the many ways to support effective teaching and learning. The main differentiator here is a broader view that includes more attention to what the learner is doing and the support needed for success. During this immersive session, attendees will focus on strategies as well as numerous responsibilities and roles that work to ensure a vibrant learning culture that helps to meet the needs of all students.

Efficacy-Based Leadership: Moving from Ideas to Results

Our country spends billions of dollars on programs, professional learning, innovative ideas and technology. Additionally, a great deal of time is spent trying to implement everything that has been purchased or heard about, as well as empower staff. How do you know that these investments are actually having an impact on learning and achievement? While it is natural to struggle with this, the end goal should be to achieve efficacy. This session will focus on developing evidence to support a Return on Learning (ROL) when investments are made to improve outcomes. Attendees will be exposed to a variety of proven strategies to not only improve pedagogy but to also curate various forms of evidence to validate expenditures and garner stakeholder support.
