The one sentence that is continually uttered to educators is, "But that isn't how I learned it". In the ever changing landscape of education, keeping balance and developing connections between our instructional, assessment and student engagement practices of learning will help our evolving learners thrive. This presentation will help provide educators with why we need to continue to change our practices and share the importance of bringing everything back to developing Hope and Efficacy for our students through real life pitfalls and resources through a "Top Ten List" of lessons learned of an educator.
