Session Guide

Morning Keynote - ALL

Our Children Are Our Future Dr. Bill Daggett

Our children are not just their own futures—they are our future. For our children’s sake and for the sake of our nation, we have to prepare our students for the future, not the past. Dr. Daggett will provide vivid examples of how advancing technologies and the increased use of data analytics are and will continue to fundamentally change how we work, interact, communicate, and manage our personal health. In doing so, the disconnect between the skills and knowledge we now teach and those needed for success and independence in a looming future will be unambiguously clear. He will then describe how the nation’s most rapidly improving schools have successfully addressed these challenges.

Bill Daggett, Ed.D., Founder and Chairman of the International Center for Leadership in Education, is recognized worldwide for his proven ability to move preK–12 education systems toward more rigorous and relevant skills and knowledge for all students. For 25 years, he has crisscrossed our nation, as well as the industrialized world, to lead school reform efforts to effectively prepare students for their future.

While an avid supporter of public education, Dr. Daggett also challenges all of us to be more focused on our children’s future than on maintaining the schools of our youth. His insights and leadership have caused nearly every major education association in the country, hundreds of school

districts, numerous political and business leaders, publishers, and others to seek out his advice and guidance.

Before founding and now serving as Chairman of the International Center for Leadership in Education, Dr. Daggett was a teacher, local administrator, and a director with the New York State Education Department.

He is the creator of the Rigor/Relevance Framework®, which has recently become the cornerstone of much of the nation’s school reform efforts. He is also the author of numerous books about learning and education, textbooks, research reports, and journal articles.

Dr. Daggett has been recognized as a distinguished alumnus by both Temple University and the State University of New York at Albany.

Dr. Daggett has a special commitment to individuals with disabilities. He and his wife, Bonnie, volunteer their time and lend their support to Wildwood Programs in upstate New York. Wildwood serves the needs of people of all ages who, like their daughter Audrey, have neurological impairments/learning disabilities or autism, by enabling them to become the best that they can be.
