  • 9:00AM10:30AM General Session CONFERENCE KEYNOTES Lee Roland Lee Roland has been an educator and administrator for almost 30 years. He has been the proud principal of Tulakes Elementary in the Putnam City School District for the last ten years. Roland has always labored exhaustively yet ardently in the field to both serve and meet the needs of students, parents and teachersits his calling. His dedication and determination is evident as he endeavors to inspire and propel others who serve, to touch lives and to make a difference, particularly for children. Roland has spoken and presented at numerous conferences, venues and workshops across the state and country, particularly on the subjects of character education, working with children of poverty and teacher efficacy.

    Paul Tough Paul Tough challenges our cultures belief that intelligence is the sole indicator of value in our education system. Its not. In How Children Succeed, he ushers in a tidal change in thinking and argues that non-cognitive skillsor characterare better indicators of success: curiosity, conscientiousness, optimism, self-control and grit. Tough has also contributed to This American Life and The New Yorker, where he has honed his focus upon education, poverty, parenting, and politics. The film rights for his New York Times Magazine cover story A Speck in the Sea, about the rescue of fisherman John Aldridge, have been acquired by Harvey Weinstein for production by The Weinstein Company.

    Scott Barry Kaufman Scott Barry Kaufman is a cognitive psychologist who studies the development of intelligence, creativity and personality. In his book Ungifted: Intelligence Redefined, he takes a look at why our society is so obsessed with measuring intelligence, instead of using the test results to inform tailored interventions to help all people succeed. He is the Scientific Director of The Imagination Institute and a researcher in the Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania, where he investigates the measurement and development of imagination. His new book about creativity and imagination, Messy Minds, will be published by Penguin in October 2015.
