Past Events


2023: Refocused, Redefined, Reimagined

Featuring Tom Newkirk!

The importance of teaching English, reading and writing cannot be understated. It is the basis for knowledge and understanding in almost every field. However, often times these skills can seem mundane or unimportant to students. That is why we are so lucky to have Tom Newkirk as our keynote speaker this year. His keynote, Minds Made for Stories, will make the case that stories are necessary for human comprehension (and pleasure) –and should be part of all the writing we ask students to do.
