We’re not the same—and neither are our students.

In recent years, the typical school day has become anything but typical. Behaviors are up, academic skills are down—especially among our youngest learners—and we’re left asking: What now?

We’re exhausted. Worse, many of us are losing our passion.

And while our plates are already full, more keeps getting piled on. How do we digest our new classroom reality?

In this keynote, Polly Bath brings energy, humor, insight, and hope. She’ll unpack why behaviors have escalated, how they’re linked to academic gaps, and what each of us can actually DO.

Let’s get inspired—and move forward with purpose and clarity.

Audience: General education and special education teachers, school and district administrators and board members, guidance counselors, school social workers, school adjustment counselors, school psychologists, paraprofessionals, PreK-12.
