Mooney – Evening with Educators Registration

Professional Development Evening with Educators:  “Those Kids” and Learning Outside the Lines

Join us for an educational and insightful evening with Jonathan Mooney, a renowned neuro-diversity activist and author who was one of “those kids” growing up: the one who couldn’t sit still, who couldn’t keep his mouth shut, and who spent much of high school hiding in the bathroom to escape reading out loud as tears streamed streaming down his face. Yet he beat those odds, graduating with honors from Brown University.

Jonathan’s personal, humorous and research-based talk will explore three ideas that changed his life that all educators can adopt to support vulnerable and at-risk learners:

• Concrete strategies to build a positive learning identity for students who believe they are “stupid, crazy and lazy”,
• Strength-based approach with concrete ideas how to scale students’ strengths and build contextualized learning pathways, and
• Explore the power of student-teacher connections as the foundation of transformative learning environments
