Keynote speakers
Dr. Russ Quaglia on Student Aspirations
One of the foremost authorities on developing and achieving student aspirations, Dr. Quaglia will present on the conditions necessary for student aspirations to thrive and flourish. These conditions provide a framework for schools to nurture and motivate the development of their students’ dreams.

Dr. Gene V. Glass on Technological Change & Public Education
Gene Glass, a distinguished education professor and researcher, will be discussing the effect of technological change on public education. A few key technological changes in America are setting the debate on the future of public education. Driving these changes are material self-interest and the desire for comfort and security, both of which have transformed American culture into a hyper-consuming, xenophobic society that is systematically degrading public education.
