When the world stops and education needs to pivot on a dime, educators have to ask themselves, “What is the purpose of education? How can I take what I know to be sound pedagogy and how do I make technology fit that understanding? How do I make technology work for me and not me work for it?" And ultimately, "How do I make technology work for my students?”The technology that educators are currently grappling with is how AI fits into classrooms.

Join Peter, Mike, and Elisa for a deep dive into the nuanced art of teaching, leading, and learning, painting a picture where vulnerability is reframed from weakness to strength.

John 17:22-23 The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me.

Dr. Peter DeWitt - Author & Keynote Speaker - shares his thoughts on creating an inclusive school culture, the role of research in school leadership, including teacher voice in the walkthrough process, and writing a new book on collective efficacy. 

Ephesians 4:15-16 Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love. Romans 13:8 Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. Jude 1:21 keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.
