Keynote Description
Over the last 40 years, the love for Kermit’s rendition of Rainbow Connection has bridged generations and remains treasured by adult and child alike. What can we—teachers, leaders, musicians—glean from our beloved, banjo-plucking amphibian? What if we —the lovers and dreamers—were to adopt a praxis of (re)imagination? How do we honor the tension between tradition and a world that is still in the making, a world that our students are calling for? How might our classrooms transform if their voices serve as a pedagogical underpinning?
