Zakia Irfan - The Process of Developing the High School Pre Med book

Darcy Brown - The art of teaching yourself anything
There are many extremely interesting topics and useful skills that we don't get taught in school. And one of those skills is the ability to teach yourself unfamiliar topics, without a teacher. In this talk, I will describe how I educated myself in the field of Nanotechnology, and how the same process can be used to teach yourself almost anything.
Ritika Saraswat - Reimagining Education
The whole purpose of this workshop would be to present to students the reality of GRADES, and how it is something which is not necessary unless you are hoping to get into a specific industry. A lot of students constantly question their value and credibility based on it and even come to term ed as 'failures' or 'outliers' by their teachers if they are not able to score high. This in tune has implications for self-worth, confidence, esteem etc. Thus, it's important to help schools realize that its time we change our assessment structures to be more inclusive of all learning styles to ensure success and growth of every student
Klara Stenqvist - Techniques for a Radical Mind Shift for Teens & Adults
Join this session to learn about the methods and practices she uses in her work with teenagers, and to explore powerful questions we need to be asking ourselves at this challenging time: What kind of learning do we need to survive and thrive?
Workshops
Megan Padron - Bridging the gap between who you are now and who you could someday be
here is a light that never goes out.”
The purpose of this workshop is to help young dreamers undergoing great adversities outside of their academia; both to aid them in adapting a mindset for overcoming these adversities, and to set a long-term foundation that enables them to transcend to new heights across each arena that life has to offer. From personal experience of financial, emotional and physical-based hardships, I will do everything I can to equip these like-minded attendees with everything they need to navigate a route past their greatest adversities - to manifest a life worth fighting for.
An ambitious and driven 20 year old firmly looking to drive change in more ways than one.
Aspiring to practice RIBA chartered architecture, I am currently a first year student at Manchester’s globally recognised architectural school. Having been fully self-funding myself since the age of 18, I aim to one day be able to contribute to the skyline and important structures within cities.
My additional endeavours include the writing of a novel that I hope to some day have published. Though it is - and is continuing to shape into - many things, its principal intent remains to challenge the prevailing stigma against mental health, directed towards young dreamers who are enduring heavy adversities.

Jill Keltner - Building Agency Through Strength-Based Education
We all want our children to be strong agents in their lives, but how often do we focus on their weaknesses and tell them what to do? In this session, you will discover the strategies and skills you need to identify and override our natural tendency to notice and focus on what our learners are not doing well. You will see how to incorporate strength-based practices into your home and classroom. You will learn the skills necessary for students to display agency over their own learning and lives. When we build on students’ strengths and interests and help them develop their own agency, we empower and motivate them to follow their curiosity and passion.

Jan Quiett - Holding Space for Potentials
Whether it is facing a rigid school system, a triggered teen or our own frustrations, the most important skill we need to develop is holding the space for something else to happen. Our doubts and fears are triggered in a variety of ways these days as we face massive changes on all fronts. This workshop focuses on staying connected to our core intelligence that knows anything is possible. Case studies are highlighted where students unlearn limitations in order to embrace their greater potentials and then often end up reminding us of our own unexplored possibilities! Developing this attitude is key to our progress through life and especially in the alternative education movement.
Having taught in public and private schools and starting a school of my own, I have had the opportunity to witness many of our mistakes in educating our children. I had the unique opportunity teaching Special Ed students and learned first hand what teaching to the test did to our students. Later I had to "teach" students to unlearn before they could put in the correct operating system in their brain that would produce the results of personal empowerment. I realize that all kids are equipped to actualize these gifts if given the fertile soil to realize their potential. It is already within. Presently, I consult with parents who are homeschooling in order to help them realize the need to trust their own innate intelligence in order to bring it out in their children.

Vanessa Cabrales - Self-Design/Individualized Learning at the Graduate Level
In this workshop we will explore the research the Individualized Master of Arts (IMA) Program at Antioch University has been conducting to understand what self-design/individualized learning means at the graduate level. We will explore themes students have reported in what makes learning a success and how best to support them. We will end with discussing with the audience, the commonalities between K-12 and graduate-level experiences in self-design and in particular how best to support students.

Lainie Liberti - Supporting Teens Mental Health
Lainie shares guidance for parents to support their teens & tweens’ mental health in a time of change. All parents want their teens to feel confident, live with purpose and to feel happy and motivated. But many teens are now struggling with their inner worlds as the outer worlds look very different than they had expected. Normal rites of passage have been delayed, dances, trips and adventures have been canceled, leaving many teens’ inners worlds in turmoil. These changes can effect learning, motivation and the delicate balance of a family’s dynamic. In times of tremendous change, many teens are not sure how to navigate this new landscape and often times can feel overwhelmed and frustrated. To a parent, we see anger, withdrawal, rebellion, depression, self sabotage, self-harm or anxiety. To a teen, they are using the coping skills they currently have. This talk will help you understand how best to support the teens in your life and introduce actions you can take starting today. Parents will learn and how to subtly adjust their dynamic into a partnership paradigm in order to help facilitate their teen’s mental health through the use of powerful tools.

Adriana Vasile - Neuroscientific resources for Education
Personalising education is as necessary as personalising medicine. Each of us has got its own brain-print, as unique as the fingerprint. There is no common recipe for learning, each being - human or non-human - uses its own genetics and epigenetics in processing & integrating information. Based on neuroscience research, we can access this basic and acquired heritage in neural activation to open up to the world.
Adriana Vasile is a neurobiologist, engaged in bridging neuroscience and education for more than 20 years. Founder of a Romanian EOTAS alternative (Education Otherwise Than At Standard School), she promotes freedom in education and personalised learning, based on brainprint and psychological tests, which allow the identification of neurodiversities and the pattern of neural activation while executing various tasks

MichaelMaser- Insight-Out: The nature of learning
This workshop will illuminate the fruit of my PhD research: that the true nature of learning is personal or highly subjective for each of us, reflecting our interests, dispositions and backgrounds. Such idiosyncratic learning is highly nuanced and interactive with the world as we experience it. It is also very distinct from the way learning has been characterized in traditional psychology and schooling practices based on a mythological 'average' learner. In my experiences nurturing learning through gestures of personalization (K-post-secondary) students - people - can and often do achieve remarkable education breakthroughs.
Michael Maser is presently completing his PhD at Simon Fraser University, BC Canada, focusing his research on the subjective experience of learning. Michael has worked as a K-12 and post-secondary educator for 30+ years, and won a Prime Ministers award in 2007 for his role in co-founding SelfDesign Learning Community, an innovative online school in BC. Michael has written two books and numerous articles and essays on education, and he is currently adjunct faculty with Antioch University (online), leading the course 'Neurobiology and Learning.'
