Welcome from Dr. Lancaster
Introductions and Conference Theme by Mary Patin
Keynote from Dr. Robert Dillon "Welcome to the Hall of Fame"
The world often sees educators as heroes, a standard that is unsustainable and hard to maintain, as we work through the daily grind of serving kids. Instead of heroes, we should pursue being hall of famers for our students and families. As hall of famer, we turn small moments into big purpose. We remain focused on the true joy of learning, and we seek solutions to the most difficult issues. The joy and purpose of learning comes from choosing to serve from a hall of fame mentality.
