“At the Core” – Day 3

Posted: Jul 12, 2014

The third and final day of the conference was filled with tough choices, mainly in needing to decide between multiple exemplary speakers and discussion panels.

The day began with keynote speaker, Charlotte Danielson, Danielson Group, followed Angela Duckworth, Ph.D.' talk about grit, and Richard Robert's, Ph.D. discussion of noncognitives.

The day's luncheon also welcomed U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. Taking the unconventional route, rather than participants directing questions to the Secretary, tables were turned, such that the Secretary asked STOYs for their answers to today's education policy dilemmas.

Thanks to STOY Luke Foley, STOYs and family members enjoyed an outing to the ballpark to cheer on the Philadelphia Phillies.
