In this interactive keynote, participants will be invited to reflect upon the stories of their past, who made them the leaders they are today, and what that means for the future. This look back will empower all involved to think about what is next as we explore leadership in these crazy times. With a focus on empathy-building, the power of relationships, and the value of adult SEL, participants will look back in order to look forward in ways that strengthen both their leadership skills and commitment to the humanity that is education as a calling.

10:15–11:15 a.m. Presentation from the National Humanities Alliance, Kentucky Ballroom F/G (Marriott)
The National Humanities Alliance will join us for conversation set to enrich relationships between NCTE state and regional affiliates and humanities organizations. Participate in a dialogue around the value of English language arts teachers in the humanities movement and learn how to make the case for the value of a broad humanities-based education. Learn how you can elevate stories of teachers and students, including their writing, to be part of the growing community of practice centered in the humanities.
