Learn how to start student teaming in your classrooms and get ready to be amazed at how quickly students transform into independent problem-solvers.

This inspirational presentation demonstrates the power of education and its ability to transform students. Brandon P. Fleming went from being a delinquent, drug-dealing dropout to becoming a nationally acclaimed author and Harvard educator. He uses this transformational story as a practical guide to equip educators with the practices and tools that he once used to completely reinvent himself, and that he now uses to take underprivileged youth and transform them into global academic champions and Ivy League scholars.

This breakout session is a deep dive into the practices that are essential to leading through authentic connections in the classroom and beyond. Fleming breaks down how each teacher can affect change by meeting people where they are and honoring what every student brings to the table.
