2026 NEASC Leadership Conference

In an age of distractions, deeper learning is both more urgent and more difficult than ever. Students are bombarded with noise: notifications, multitasking, and the temptation of shortcuts in a world of instant answers. But what if we gave students something richer? In this keynote, we explore how to cultivate the habits of deeper thinking, sustained focus, and meaningful learning across content areas. You’ll learn practical strategies to foster mastery, curiosity, problem-solving, resilience, and communication in your classroom, even in a fast-paced digital world.

Continue lunch and join us for a student performance, followed by NEASC award recipients for 2026. Finally, we will have a panel discussion on AI and screen time

Featured Speaker: Jon Nordmeyer
Recentering What Matters: Listening to Student Voice -
