The Purposeful Educator
Discovering the power purpose has to help students, their teachers, and their schools all thrive.

A strong why allows us to withstand any how. This keynote explores how having and articulating a greater underlying purpose to work inspires deeper engagement and more joy in the process, for students and educators. Using research and storytelling, Trevor helps educators understand how embedding purpose in curriculum, relationships, and their own careers can have a profound impact on their students and themselves.

Stop Calling Them Soft Skills

A recent US survey shows that the main reason people are fired from their jobs is that they lack soft skills: critical thinking, communication, collaboration, adaptability, and confidence. Trevor equips teachers to craft learning experiences so that students develop these critical skills while learning 'hard skills’ and academic content. Students do purposeful work while becoming better communicators, collaborators, problem solvers, and citizens.

Connecting with Every Student

Some students are written off as “bad kids” or “too far gone.” School and home experiences have made them difficult to reach and teach. However, by learning their stories, building trust, and engaging them authentically in the classroom, connections can be made and futures can be changed. With inspiration and SEL instruction, Trevor shares proven practices to create an engaged and meaningful classroom for all students.

Creating A Collaborative Classroom

Trevor inspires and equips educators with actionable ideas and proven best practices to facilitate successful collaboration. Authenticity and trust are the heart of strong student teamwork. When students are engaged in meaningful, relevant group work, collaboration is no longer a struggle but transforms into an anticipated, dynamic practice with rich outcomes and deeper learning.

Make Learning Epic

Purpose is a powerful motivator, for educators and their students. Using inspirational stories and researched-based strategies, Trevor shares how to use the power of story, brain science, and authentic learning to help teachers achieve true student engagement. Educators leave with proven practices to design authentic learning experiences, motivation to foster deeper student connections, and a compelling reminder of the impact they have on their students’ lives.

Workshops

Epic Project Based Learning Crash Course

Fundamentally Epic Project Based Learning (PBL) is about making learning authentic. PBL adds relevancy and real world challenges to the work students accomplish, and in the process makes learning more engaging and memorable. Teachers will learn concrete methods, practices, and resources to create a standards-based, skills and content-rich classroom in an innovative project based learning model.

School Leaders & Project Based Learning

At its core, PBL is about making learning authentic. Purposeful learning leads to deeper student engagement and a more effective classroom. This session is about helping school leaders assist their teachers in designing and leading authentic Project Based Learning experiences. Participants will leave with a strong understanding of PBL and concrete ways it can be supported in their schools.

Leaning Into Literacy in a PBL Classroom

Learn how to tie literacy and a love of reading into authentic learning experiences. This workshop explores strategies and practices to help students grow as readers and critical thinkers during Project Based Learning projects. We’ll discuss how to plan literacy activities during projects, as well as discussion strategies to talk about the reading in engaging and authentic ways. 

Growth Mindset & Standards Based Grading

Trevor helps teachers understand the value of adopting a growth mindset when it comes to grading. In this discussion-rich, research-backed workshop, educators learn the value of standards-based grading as well as strategies to implement it in their classrooms. 

Epic Classroom Discussions

In this workshop, Trevor teaches how to make discussion a bedrock of learning. As your students learn essential conversation skills, their academic performance increases as well. Whether a kindergarten or 12th grade teacher, a math or English teacher, participants will be equipped with new inspiration, ideas, and strategies to teach their students how to have rich class discussions.

Letting Go of Perfection

In an educational landscape that constantly demands excellence and unattainable perfection, it's time for teachers to liberate themselves from the shackles of unrealistic expectations. This keynote delves into the profound impact of letting go of perfectionism on both the professional performance and personal well-being of educators. Through engaging anecdotes, evidence-based research, and practical strategies, this presentation will inspire educators to reevaluate their self-imposed standards and rediscover the joy of teaching.

Using Purposeful Technology to Create Authentic Learning

Authentic learning leads to deeper learning. When used with intentionality, technology can help enhance authenticity and give tangible purpose to student work. This session is about how certain technologies can be used to enhance authenticity in the classroom, assist students in meaningful work, and teach them skills they will need the rest of their lives.
