• BREAKOUT SESSIONS:

Workshop 1
-Best Antidote to Violence
-Darrell Scott

Before American education focused on the head - - it focused on the heart. Ironically, our schools were number 1 in the world with the focus on the heart. Today we have slipped to last, or near last in most academic categories internationally. But the good news is that we can learn from the past. This humorous, and provocative workshop will challenge your heart to be the best educator you can be. Darrell shows numerous teacher training excerpts from the 1800’s that provide enlightenment for today’s educator. There are powerful action points for practical application.

Workshop
-Don’t Teach ‘em, Transform ‘em!
-Darrell Scott

Heartwarming and humorous stories both illustrate the power of creative communication in the classroom. Beginning with an examination of the philosophy of education in the past versus today’s educational philosophy, Darrell gives practical and entertaining ideas to help transform a child’s life. Before education was referred to as the 3 ‘R’s, it was referred to as the 3 ‘H’s: The Head, the Hands, and the Heart. Darrell shows the correlation between the 3 ‘H’s that produced the top academic achievers in history! Using illustrations from his daughter, Rachel’s life, to the school textbooks of the 1800’s he will inspire you to be a better educator.
