Educational Keynote Presentation "Awakening Voices in the Classroom"

During this keynote, teachers, administrators and teachers in training will be swept away by mesmerizing character portrayals, breathtaking a cappella music, and powerful stories of people whose lives were dramatically altered by a teacher. Teachers walk away deeply energized and motivated at a root level by the best teaching practices they hear about and witness during this keynote presentation.

The best teaching practices depicted in this keynote are in the form of behaviors and paradigms. When teachers use these behaviors and paradigms, they initiate parts of a continuous death and rebirth cycle within themselves, within their students and within their classrooms. This continuous cycle is central to the permanent awakening process that is Rebekah’s mission and includes: death of outdated behaviors, paradigms, identities, and relationships, discovery of the teachers’ and students’ authentic voice, gifts, identities, passions and purposes, and a refocusing and re-designing of the classroom environment, as well as teacher and student mindsets and behaviors based on these discoveries.

As a result of this continuous cycle, teachers become courageously accountable for creating classrooms that are not simp]y spaces for downloading information or teaching federal or state mandated materials, but they become spaces where critical thinking, ingenuity, creativity, vitality, compassion, teamwork, awe, wonder, connection and authentic productivity are continuously awakened, increased and maintained on more and more of a permanent basis.

Debriefing Session following "Awakening Voices in the Classroom"

(This makes an ideal 2 hour break-out session after the performance of this keynote)

This debriefing session gives the audience the opportunity to:

1)  Verbalize, process and reinforce what was experienced and learned while watching the keynote.

2)  Be challenged to practically apply the behaviors and paradigms in the keynote to themselves, to their students and to their classrooms

3)  Learn new best teaching practices based on the character portrayals that are in the form of behaviors and paradigms

The behaviors and paradigms support teachers so they are better able to:

A) Create a classroom culture that draws out and helps students trust their authentic voice, gifts, identities, passions and purposes

B) Model to the students what it looks like to form genuine partnerships

C) Expand the students’ capacity to look beyond their individual lives and into the lives of others

D) Become more courageously accountable for creating classrooms where critical thinking, ingenuity, innovation, vitality, creativity and productivity are continuously being increased and maintained on more and more of a permanent basis

This keynote, debriefing session and one-day teacher leadership development seminar are ideal for teachers and professors in:

■ Public and private schools
■ Universities and colleges
■ Juvenile detention centers
■ Homeschool settings

One Day Leadership Development Seminar For Teachers "Creating Awakening for Your Classroom"

This one-day seminar can:

• Follow Rebekah’s powerful keynote: “Awakening Voices in the Classroom” as one full day of break-out sessions at your educational event or conference

• Stand-alone as a one-day seminar at your your school or at a retreat location

Purpose:  The tools in this seminar are quick and can easily be integrated and applied to the most stringent of classroom environments, even if the majority of classroom time must be spent on required curriculum. The tools help teachers create environments within their classrooms that promote critical thinking, compassion, creativity, community, curiosity, thinking outside the box and seeing the big picture. The tools instigate parts of a death and rebirth cycle within teachers, students and classrooms.

This cycle is central to the permanent awakening process that is Rebekah’s mission and includes: death of outdated behaviors, paradigms, identities, and relationships, discovery of the teachers’ and students’ authentic voice, gifts, identities, passions and purposes, and a refocusing and designing of the classroom, teachers and students based on these discoveries. This one day leadership development seminar helps teachers become more courageously accountable for increasing and maintaining critical thinking, ingenuity, innovation, vitality, creativity and productivity within their classrooms.

Book Chapter Workshops

Rebekah is the author of Awakening – 12 Tools To Unlock Ultimate Potential (one version with devotions and one without), and an accompanying Facilitator’s Guide for small groups. She offers book chapter workshops based on each chapter in her book that make ideal 2-hour stand-alone workshops or great break-out sessions. The book chapter workshops are designed to instigate a continuous death and rebirth cycle within teachers. This continuous cycle is central to the permanent awakening process that is Rebekah’s mission and includes: death of outdated behaviors, paradigms, identities, and relationships, discovery of the teacher’s authentic voice, gifts, identities, passions and purposes, and a refocusing and designing of the teacher’s life based on these discoveries. This continuous cycle creates deep rejuvenation and renewal within teachers. They become better able to continuously increase and maintain their personal and professional levels of vitality, creativity, productivity and accountability. The positive effects of this deep rejuvenation and renewal can spread to a teacher’s students and permit their classrooms.
