Keynote Address: Richard Byrne
Leading Students In a Hyper-connected World
From phones to tablets to televisions today’s students are more connected to the world than ever before. With a few keystrokes and a click students can discover new information and challenge more old information. What does this mean for our roles as teachers? And how do we lead students to become conscientious consumers and producers of information? In this keynote Richard Byrne will offer some answers to those questions and challenge you to find new ways of leading students in a hyper-connected world.

"The New Teacher Academy was phenomenal. I learned so much about building a community and classroom management. I cannot wait for school to start so I can apply my newly acquired knowledge!"
“Overall, the conference exceeded my expectations especially for how reasonably priced it was. Thank you for understanding the finances of a beginning teacher!”
"I had a great time learning new skills and meeting new people. I greatly benefited from this academy. I have tons of great ideas and good classroom resources. I also have more confidence to learn from my mistakes, ask questions, and to be open to new ideas and strategies. I would love to come again next year!"
