TRIUMPH OF THE SPIRIT Regina Louise @iamreginalouise
Despite having found love, attachment and a commitment to have a forever family, Regina Louise’s plea to belong to the one woman who wanted her was denied by a court of law. During her presentation, Regina will discuss her humble beginnings, her exit from foster care without permanency; and touch upon the trials and tribulations that shaped her—ultimately— for the better.

Wednesday, June 17 - 9:30 am - 10:30 am
THE INNOVATOR'S MINDSET George Couros @GeorgeCouros
Carol Dweck’s work has focused on the ideas of “fixed” and “growth” mindset, yet educators will need to go a step further with these notions to create the learning opportunities and that our students and schools deserve. We need to focus not only what we know, but what we do with what we know. In this session, George will discuss the idea and characteristics of “The Innovator’s Mindset” (as discussed in the book of the same title) and share persuasive examples on why this is so crucial for all educators. George’s presentations are known to be emotional, humorous, thought-provoking, and will connect to your heart in a way that will last long after his keynote.

What if you could triple the speed of student learning? According to findings by Professor John Hattie, a strong sense of Collective Teacher Efficacy can yield over three years of student growth over one school year. One of the most powerful influences on student learning and achievement, Collective Teacher Efficacy is the belief that, together, educators can positively impact learning. When efficacy is high, teachers show greater persistence and are more likely to try new teaching approaches – especially in virtual learning environments!
