2021 Teaching & Technology Summit Day One, June 9 8:50 - 10:00 AM CST Session Session Title and Presenter Name Welcome Dr. Robert Jackson, President, Murray State University Keynote Impact the Narrative Dr. Joe Sanfelippo Every interaction matters because every interaction could be the one they talk about for the rest of their lives. School perception is often based on the narrative of those who attended schools years ago. If we are INTENTIONAL about walking into every conversation knowing it could be the one they talk about for years to come, we OPEN DOORS for the outside to see us for who we are and BUILD MOMENTUM by creating a culture where every story matters. We have a tremendous opportunity to impact the narrative of our students, teachers, and community.

Session 1 10:10-11:00 AM CST Session Session Title and Presenter Name Room 1 Lead Where You Are Dr. Joe Sanfelippo “I’m just...It’s a phrase we hear all the time. I’m just a teacher, I’m just an assistant principal, I’m just a tech director, I’m just a custodian….the list goes on and on and is always followed by reasons something CAN’T happen. Leadership is not a title, it’s an action...and it starts from within. Identifying leadership traits in yourself changes your mindset when thinking about leading those around you. Part of our responsibility as a leader is to identify leadership traits in others. The opportunities are endless for those who choose to lead...it’s our job to find those traits, focus our efforts on growth opportunities, and foster an environment where everyone has a chance to lead. This fast-paced and engaging session will help you identify your own leadership traits and implement practical ways to increase your capacity to find them in others.
