Personalized Learning for ALL

Helping Them Find Their Passion in Life, So They Never Work A Day in Their Life

It is way past time for ALL students to have the same specialized attention and programs that special education students have had for decades with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs). Many school districts are changing the script and changing the game from a traditional education system to a truly personalized individualized education system based on student interest, talent and passion. I call it the “help them find their passion in life and they never have to work a day in their life" system. Personalized learning plans and programs, done correctly, prepare students to become who they want to be as opposed to what we want them to be! In this keynote presentation, Dr. Darryl Adams will discuss his experience working with personalized learning via programs like the Facebook supported Summit Public Schools!

What does a 21st Century Leader Look Like?

Utilizing the 21 Attributes of 21st Century Leadership!

A 21st Century leader effectively models and uses the 21 leadership attributes, styles and digital-age skills to communicate, inspire, motivate and lead cohesive teams to success. These leaders always utilize multiple leadership styles, attributes and technology to get things done! 21st Century leaders are adept at not only talking the talk but walking the walk as they model the use of leadership theories and principles that are flexible and adaptive to situations and circumstance. 21st Century leaders help to create a culture and vision that leads to boundless innovation and limitless creativity utilizing my TLC philosophy of Trust, Love and Collaboration.
