Keynote: Sparking Hope - Teaching as a Catalyst to Launching Great Learning Amidst myriad complications, great teaching requires a tenuous balance of supporting the growth and development of habits and character, along with specific content skills. To meet this immense challenge, the culture of both schools and classrooms must constantly evolve toward a community characterized by support, collaboration, and improvement. As teachers maximize our passions, work together, and champion students, our classrooms can grant the liberty to take risks in learning and grapple with complex tasks. Through this effort we can grow in all students that special spirit of hope, resilience, and determination.
