KEYNOTE: Lessons from the 2020s for How to Be More Efficient, Effective, and Joyfully Balanced
Thursday October 10, 2024 10:00am - 11:20am CDT

The 2020s haven’t been easy for many educators. Having to guide students through staff shortages, rapid societal shifts, and a pandemic and its aftermath put a great strain on many teachers. Further, the news around education has so often been overwhelmingly negative, with each new news report making the current political disputes, increasing student mental health challenges, and funding issues feel intractable.
These struggles and issues are real, and yet lost against this backdrop is that the 2020s have also quietly offered more innovation and fresh solutions to old problems than ever before. Losing the face-to-face classroom for a while gave us a better sense for what matters, and recent years have seen a renaissance in our understanding of learning, the brain, and best practices. 
Lessons from the 2020s—led by full-time classroom teacher and author Matthew Johnson—looks to share what we’ve learned from this decade so far to take on the multitude of challenges we face in a better, more balanced, and, with some luck, a more joyful way.
