Conference Opening Remarks & Keynote: Let Them Be Heard. Giving Our Students A Voice with Shannon McClintock Miller

Opening Remarks
Keynote Speaker: Shannon McClintock Miller

Young people have the opportunity to change the world with their actions, creativity, words, and most of all…their voice. Shannon McClintock Miller has empowered her students and others to embrace and talk about the things that are important to them. In this presentation, you will hear the voice of young people as Shannon shares stories of choice, experiences, access, space, collaboration, creativity, and so much more.

As you prepare for this day and her presentation ask yourself this question… What is important to you and your learning? We will answer this question together as we take a look at our learning and most of all….that of the young people we work with every day.

Closing Keynote: From Burnt Out To Emblazoned: Tending the Fire Amid Inescapable Uncertainty with Brianna Hodges

We're adapting as fast as we can, to do the best we can, with what we have, from where we are. We're trying to be everything to everyone, every day, everywhere. And we're tired; depleted and exhausted, our fire all but extinguished.

As we seek to shine for our students and stakeholders, promising them future bright days, we struggle to sift hope from ash, confidence from coal. How do we keep our fire alive despite the changing winds and unrelenting conditions?

Sharing experiences, lessons, and a few cautionary tales, Brianna Henneke Hodges will help you stoke your fire, control your burn, and tap torchbearers to cast a brighter, bolder light for today's learners.
