Keynote Description

"Finding the Gem in Every Child"

 Keynote Presenter: Constant Hine

 "Finding the Gem In Every Child" addresses the concept that relationships are the container for learning.  Positive, nurturing relationship between adults and children are dependent on the adult's ability to find and focus on "what works" in every child.  We must expand our ability to witness and support children based on their strengths, interests, passions, unique individual qualities, and diverse cultural backgrounds. 

The goal of this keynote is to increase self awareness and assist adults to embrace and use supportive, caring, and respectful interactions based on authentic assessment and diverse teaching strategies to facilitate children to interpret and learn from experience rather than focusing solely on instructing and 'teaching' content,  information and data.
