Keynote Speakers
Jasmine Hood Miller of Common Sense Media, the nation’s leading nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of kids and families through technology and media education, will kick off our Summit with a keynote on artificial intelligence and building digital trust and connection between families, schools, and students.
Dr. Rebecca Winthrop, Senior Fellow and Co-Director of the Center for Universal Education at the Brookings Institution, will challenge us to rethink how family-school-community partnerships can reignite student engagement by putting young people’s voices, needs, and aspirations at the center. Drawing from her groundbreaking research, including The Disengaged Teen: Helping Kids Learn Better, Feel Better, and Live Better, Dr. Winthrop will share bold ideas and real-world examples for how schools and families can co-create learning environments where students feel connected, capable, and inspired.
