Trends, Tools and Tactics for 21st Century Learning
This keynote is a fun look at the exciting things that happen when educators step outside their boxes and try new tools. It reinforces the importance of relationships while encouraging teachers to become learners again through positive examples of student success.
Inspirational Teachers Change Minds & Lives
In this keynote I share stories and ideas geared toward inspired tired and uninspired teachers. We’ll explore tools and tactics designed to reanimate educators.
Music & The Lost Learner
Today's tools make it easy to make music with kids. By painting their dark colors with sound, kids can express their frustrations and work through them. They can find symphonies within themselves they never knew we're there. Join me for an excursion into some possibilities in connecting with learners through music.
Creating Meaningful Learning
Sitting in a desk having teaching done to you for eight hours a day can cause some learners to lose their passion for school permanently. Let's explore the idea of making learning meaningful and irresistible using a bit of drama and today's amazing technologies.
Creativity Is Essential
Creativity is all but extinguished in some schools and classrooms. Nobody meant for it to happen but with our focus almost exclusively fixed on test scores we find ourselves waging all out war on anything seen as non-essential. In these days of invention and the need for creative problem solving it turns out we in education may have taken the low ground in a time of a coming flood. Join me for a discussion about the need for creativity and some ideas about bringing it into daily learning.
Theatrical Teaching = Forever Learning
Remember your most inspiring teachers and professors? I'll bet they had a dramatic passion for their subjects and brought them to life in front of your amazed eyes. In this session we'll explore the potential, intentional role of theater, drama and storytelling in effecting teaching and lifelong learning.
Connecting With Lost Learners
We see them every day, hiding in plain site, kids who gave or checked out somewhere along the educational path. How can we re-find these kids and get them back onto the path to their future success?Join me for an exploration of today's options for reigniting passion in these kids.
Launch Me
How can a person connect to the world and grow? How can we learn to market our talents while we cultivate them. How can we teach kids to do the same? With today's tools and adequate passion we can teach kids to build the life they don't know they want...yet. Join me for this fast paced journey into launching into the life you want and teaching kids to it too.
Entrepreneurial Learning
Could kids learn about business by being one? Today's tools and resources allow kids to create, market and sell their ideas anywhere in the world. There are no barriers save for those we imposed on ourselves. Let's explore some powerful tools and notions that kids could use to imagine a future where they are successful!
Serve Others & Serve Yourself
Nothing builds confidence like helping others. Let’s talk about the things that can happen in the hearts and minds of even your most challenging learners when it’s not all about them.
Learn 2 Love 2 Learn
The killer app for the 21st century is to teach kids to Learn To Love To Learn but how do we do that? Infusing passion and context into your teaching is a good place to start. Join me for this discussion about helping kids L2L2L.
