Educator, published author, and master storyteller Dr.
Tommie Mabry will kick off the conference by sharing his inspiring journey—one
full of hardship, self-realization, and redemption—from troubled youth to a
renowned international speaker with attendees. His insightful session will
provide attendees with a better understanding of why we are all dealing with so
many students who are at risk, as well as specific strategies to engage ALL
learners. Participants will learn how effective relationship building with
children is fundamental for student and school success. Understanding the reason
we teach, with special emphasis on the student, is the central theme of his
presentation. Dr. Mabry will offer participants a refreshing look into the eyes
of the students from his own experience as an at-risk student, as well as from
being an educator.
