WELCOME & INTRODUCTIONS

Welcome: Mr. Corey Simons

Keynote: Weston Kieschnick: The Educator’s ATLAS: Your roadmap to joyful, engaging, & successful classrooms.

This session is for teachers struggling with explicit direct instruction, principals primed to speak at their next staff meeting, district personnel preparing to present in front of the school board...literally anyone, who speaks in any capacity, and wants to engage, educate, and resonate in order to meet his/her desired outcome. There’s a fundamental difference between speaking and being heard; between being taught and being told. The difference lives in a person’s ability to engage and resonate. Engagement and resonance are words we throw around all the time without stopping to consider how those who actually do it well, are able to do it in the first place. Can we distill resonance? Absolutely. Can we deconstruct, teach, and replicate engagement? Most certainly. Join Weston as he takes participants on an engaging and highly participatory session focused on creating engaging learning experiences via, the ATLAS Protocol, for students of all ages. Participants will leave will tools and strategies for immediate implementation.
