Back-to-School Conference

Day 1 | Friday, August 8 at 4:00-5:30pm PT | 7:00-8:30pm ET

Every superhero has an origin story. This school year, yours begins with Human Intelligence.

AI is moving fast: writing curriculum, answering questions, even claiming to engage students. But here’s what no algorithm can do: earn a child’s trust, sense what they’re not saying, or turn a tough day into a breakthrough. That’s your power. And it’s more essential than ever.

In this keynote hosted by Co-Founders Dr. Ilana Nankin and Michael Fenchel, you’ll activate the superpower that today’s classrooms need most: Human Intelligence, your integrated ability to think, feel, move, connect, and create with purpose. These aren’t buzzwords. They’re your superpowers, and they’re the reason no machine can ever do what you do.

You’ll leave this keynote ready to:
🦸‍♀️ Define what Human Intelligence actually is and how it gives you an edge in the age of AI
📚 Build the five essential layers of Human Intelligence: cognitive, emotional, somatic, social, and universal
⚡️ Step into the school year as the human-centered educator your classroom needs
🌱 Strategies to start the year recharged, clear in your purpose, and rooted in your most powerful resource: yourself

AI can give answers. But only you can ask the right questions, spark growth, and lead with heart. You are not obsolete. You are the future of education.

Day 2 | Saturday, August 9 at 9-10:30am PT | 12-1:30pm ET

Unlock the ability to navigate the emotional highs and lows of the classroom without burning out.

In this workshop led by Dr. Ilana Nankin and Michelle Cordero, you’ll embody the dual superpowers of emotional and somatic intelligence: your ability to feel, sense, and regulate your way through anything school throws your way. These powers aren’t abstract. They show up when your heart races during a tough conversation, when a student’s energy shifts, or when you take one deep breath and change the entire mood in the room.

You’ll leave with:
🧠 A superhero’s sense of self-awareness – grounded in neuroscience – to understand how your body and emotions impact your teaching
🧘‍♀️ Trauma-informed techniques to regulate yourself and co-regulate with students, including breathwork, movement, and emotion check-ins
🦸 Strategies to help students build emotional literacy and resilience

Your body isn’t the problem. It’s your power. This year, learn to lead from within.

Day 3 | Sunday, August 10 at 9-10:30am PT | 12-1:30pm ET

Strong connection doesn’t just feel good. It gets results. When students feel seen, safe, and supported, engagement goes up, behavior issues go down, and your classroom becomes a space where learning sticks.

In this grand finale, you’ll activate social and universal intelligence: the powers that help you build trust, fuel collaboration, and turn a group of students into a true learning community. When you teach from connection, not just content, you reduce behavior issues, increase engagement, and transform your classroom into a space where everyone feels like they belong.

You’ll learn:
🫶 What social and universal intelligence is, and why it is so deeply important
🎯 Tools to align your teaching with your why and help students discover theirs
🧩 Rituals and routines that build community and shared purpose
🗣️ Communication practices that turn your classroom into a team, not a battleground

When you connect with intention, you become the kind of hero every student remembers. The kind who helps them believe they belong.
