  • 8:30-11:45 AM –  Tara Brown Keynote Presentation (http://theconnectioncoach.org/): Unleashing the Power of Positive Connections  
    • LRSC Robert Fawcett Auditorium
    • “To get into their heads, we must first get into their hearts.” There is no doubt that the 18″ from their heart to their heads is a rite of passage every adult must navigate in order to truly impact struggling youth. Humans are ‘hard-wired’ to connect and it is through these connections that humans will thrive and excel. In this inspiring keynote address, Tara will share parts of her journey from coast to coast working with both hard core gang members and hard core rednecks in her own hometown and how she successfully engaged and motivated them to work harder and dream bigger. She will provide research-based insights into the role that emotions/stress play in learning, and what at-risk youth wish every adult understood about them.
  • 11:45 AM -12:45 PM – Lunch 
  • 12:45-4:00 PM –  Tara Brown Keynote Presentation (http://theconnectioncoach.org/) Mindset, Resiliency and Grit: 3 Keys to Unlocking the Potential of Youth
    • LRSC Robert Fawcett Auditorium
    • The mindset of a student plays a HUGE role in how they are impacted and respond to academic challenges, struggles and setbacks. For under-resourced youth, this is even more critical to be able to assess because they often hold many inaccurate beliefs about intelligence, setbacks and academic success. Adults need to fully understand how one’s mindset dictates behavior, decision-making and effort in order to reframe and reshape a student’s belief on their ability and intelligence. Helping student’s understand how to positively address academic struggles, negative mental dialogue and the ability they possess to create new neural pathways through consistent effort is beyond empowering. Resiliency and grit increase as a mind shift occurs through positive connections and reframing flawed beliefs. It can truly be life altering for many students who inaccurately believe that intelligence = academic success. Cultivating a growth mindset is critical for success in both school and life and this session will equip adults with the ability to relay this information in a way that kids will be able to understand and incorporate throughout the school year.
  • 12:45-4:00 PM – Using the ND Native American Essential Understandings
