2026 GOCSD Innovation Summit

The past few years have brought uncertainty at every turn, creating significant anxiety and a loss of sleep for all educators, regardless of position. As we work to innovate and transform the learning experience, how can we create a culture where both students and staff can thrive? How can we work to overcome fear and fail forward when things don't go as planned? Grounded in relationships and built upon a culture for learning, personal and authentic cultures of innovation respect the hidden stories within each individual and are learner-centered by design. Join this fun and interactive keynote for a lot of laughs paired with practical and proven strategies that you can immediately implement with your team. Regardless of what happens outside our district walls, together, we can work to create meaningful opportunities for those we serve when we hyper-focus on the things that matter most. The work is hard, but our kids are worth it!
