Bridging the Gap
Strengthening Student-School Connections
Student-success often has less to do with student-intelligence and more to do with their connection to the learning environment. Students who do not connect with either the teacher, their peers, the subject matter, or the fundamental purpose of school usually struggle there. Teachers, as guides and mentors, play a pivotal role in fostering these connections, shaping a supportive environment where students can not only grow academically but also flourish personally in school and life. Using stories, humor, and sharing proven practices, Trevor helps educators explore ways to form these connections, ensuring every student has the opportunity to thrive in the classroom.

AI and the Ideal Graduate
The Essential Role of Educators in a Tech- Driven World
As AI reshapes education, we face profound questions: Will it replace traditional classrooms? Do we still need schools in their current form? But before we dive into those, we must ask: What is the true purpose of school? It's not just about knowledge; it’s about shaping empathetic, resilient, collaborative individuals. AI is a powerful tool, but it can’t replace the human connection, passion, and guidance that teachers provide. In this keynote, we’ll explore how AI can enhance learning while reaffirming the irreplaceable role of educators in creating future-ready graduates.

The Epic Classroom: How to Boost Engagement, Make Learning Memorable, and Transform Lives
by Trevor Muir
Definition of Epic: 1. A story or narrative centered around a hero 2. Spectacular; impressive; memorable. If learning is not memorable, should it even be considered learning? For too long, traditional education has used outdated practices to deliver complex and well-intended content to students with very little hope of that subject matter being retained. It often looks like this: Lectures are given --->Students write the information down ---> Students take a test on that information ---> Information is discarded from the brain ---> Repeat. In the The Epic Classroom, Trevor Muir presents a project based learning method that uses the power of storytelling and brain science to give educators practical and proven practices to achieve real student engagement. In return, learning that is permanent and memorable. Any teacher, in any subject area, and in any grade level can use the story-centered project based learning framework of The Epic Classroom to transform their classrooms into settings where students are engaged, challenged, and transformed. In this book you will discover - How to increase student engagement - How to plan and execute effective high quality project based learning experiences- Specific strategies for leading engaged students - Outlines and tools to plan, manage, and assess projects - Methods to increase academic performance in students.
