Kayla Dornfeld touched the hearts of over 600 educators at the CS Partners annual conference this week in Novi, Ml! Her emphasis on the importance of relationships resonated with the people in the room, and I have no doubt it will be manifested in the behavior of those in attendance upon their return to the hallways and classrooms of the schools they call home.

Featured Keynote Programs
Bring the World to Your Classroom! (WORKSHOP)
Learn to take your students -- no matter how young -- anywhere from outer space, to the Minnesota Zoo, to classrooms in other states and countries. Discuss ways to safely encourage virtual exploration and student led classroom social media accounts. Leave this session ready to empower students to virtually “Share Their Story” and bring the world to your classroom.
Redesigned Learning Spaces
A Flexible Approach (KEYNOTE/WORKSHOP)
If we take a look at classrooms over the past 100 years, we are seeing the same type of learning environments, year after year. The world is changing, yet our classrooms are being designed much the same. Revitalizing space and incorporating flexible seating is a straightforward way to let students exercise choice in the learning environment and find academic success on their own terms.
Participants will leave this session with:
• Practical tips, strategies, research, pedagogy, and ideas to implement flexible seating in your classroom or school
• Management strategies to turn your classroom into flexible seating, student-led "Starbucks for Kids" learning space
Teaching With Heart (KEYNOTE/WORKSHOP)
Kayla is a firm believer in making school a place where all kids want to be, not somewhere they have to be. Through high engagement activities, a creative classroom design approach, and placing relationships at the top of her priority list, Kayla is able to make her classroom inviting, exciting, and full of love. Join her in her mission to put relationships first, and everything else second.
Self-Care for Educators (KEYNOTE/WORKSHOP)
Teaching is hard work, there's no doubt about it. Each and every day, we pour our whole selves into the children in our classrooms, the staff we work alongside, the families we serve, and the schools we work in. Kayla presents multiple strategies to employ in order for educators to thrive and not simply survive. The most important relationship we have is the one we have with ourselves. We must take care of our own hearts before we can care for so many others.
