Keynote Presenter: Dr. Linda Jordan
How students learn is just as important as what they learn. This year, the 35th Annual National Dropout Prevention Conference will feature a keynote session that dives deep into this idea, inviting educators to explore how brain science can reshape the way we teach, lead, and connect with learners.
Dr. Linda Jordan will take the stage this October in Orlando to present “Learning About the Brain Changes Everything”, a session designed to translate the latest neuroscience research into practical, actionable strategies for K–12 educators. With her guidance, attendees will gain the tools to create classrooms that are not only more engaging—but also better aligned with how the brain naturally learns.
