The Transformation of Education
“We are on the brink of an educational revolution! Students are learning in a world that is quickly being transformed by technology and innovation, but the education system is struggling to keep up. I’ll highlight how student, teacher, parent, and community voices matter as we fight to propel our students to greatness.”
Featured on The Ellen Show and NBC Nightly News, educator, speaker, and
author Michael Bonner will share his “lessons learned” from teaching in a Title I school with students with high levels of trauma and adverse situations. Mr. Bonner is a fourth and sixth grade English teacher at the famed Ron Clark Academy.

Deconstructing Classroom Instruction
“Online instruction was challenging and stressful for students, teachers, and parents alike. The experience challenged me to deconstruct my entire pedagogy as well as the content I taught. In this talk, I will discuss the creative ways I changed my teaching and explore how it will influence my in-person instruction moving forward.”
