I CAN, ICHOOSE, I ACCOMPLISH : How To Make the Most of What You've Been Given to Prepare your Students for THEIR Future
In this keynote I will help everyone—teachers, parents, administrators and policy-makers—understand WHY it is so important that they ALL MOVE TOGETHER toward a new way of preparing young people for their future—and HOW to begin doing it. They will leave knowing that is NOT about just ‘doing the old things differently,’ but about DOING NEW THINGS that better fit the changing world and human era that our young people are quickly entering. They will understand that the educational future of both adults and young people is less about ‘learning’ and ‘awareness’ and more about ‘choosing‘ and ‘accomplishing in the real-world.’ Attendees will leave enthusiastic about their new possibilities, eager to take new actions to move themselves and young people forward—and make a better world for all of us in the process!
