Our all-star line up includes:

Keynote Speakers:

Jennifer Gonzalez, Editor in Chief at Cult of Pedagogy- "The Symbiotic Curriculum: Where "Real Life" and School are the Same."- For generations, many of our schools have operated apart from the communities that surround us. We prepare students for the "real world" without giving them real access to it. We seek expertise from textbooks and websites, missing the wealth of resources right down the street. We experience the consequences of community problems, but rarely see ourselves as the ones who can solve them. Now the world has changed: School has been brought home, improvisation and change are a daily occurrence, and communities have had to think critically about the value of education and how best to make it happen. Now more than ever, we have an opportunity to break with tradition and create a symbiotic relationship between school and community: tapping into local resources, solving local problems, and becoming truly active citizens of our communities. By hearing the stories of teachers and students who have done just that, we'll be able to imagine the possibilities for all schools.

Dr. Sheldon Eakins, Director of the Leading Equity Center- "Home Grown Advocacy: Empowering Families to Challenge Schools to See Beyond Race, Ethnicity, and Class."- This session discusses ways parents can learn to advocate for their children at schools. Dr. Eakins will share personal stories on helping parents ensure equitable practices for their children's needs.

Brad Weinstein, Founder at TeacherGoals- "Conference Welcome and Closing."- If you're an educator, this is the event for YOU! Brad Weinstein will be joining us to open and close out our virtual conference. This means he'll provide some opening remarks before getting into questions from educators around the world who want more knowledge on how they can improve their classroom management skills in order to create an engaging atmosphere full of creativity.

Brianna Richardson, Teacher and Comedian- "We Can’t Make This Stuff Up." - Hey Friends! Join me as I address all things teachers. I want teachers to feel ready and well equipped for the rest of this crazy year in the classroom. I hope to give you all the tips and tricks to help you succeed and a few laughs along the way!
