Throughout the forum, there will be three ignite talks. These talks consist of a 20-minute presentation, a 20-minute breakout activity for all attendees, and concludes with a 20-minute large group discussion.

Each of our three Ignite Speakers will present on a topic that focuses on one of the three areas of focus of our Virtual Forum: curriculum, students, and teaching. Kimara Ellefson will present first with "Calibrating Our Compass: Flourishing as the North Star for Charting the Way Forward", where she will challenge our attendees to rethink and reimagine longstanding approaches to successfully navigate ever-changing terrain through presentation, reflection and discussion.

Next will be Holly Gooding, presenting "How Are We Going to Get to The Moon? Developing Operating Principles for Effective Curriculum Change." Attendees will review their own organization’s mission, vision, and values statements and contemplate how their current curriculum fits within those stated goals.

Lastly, Neil Mehta will present "Teaching in the Age of Online Resources: Designing Lesson Plans to Enhance the Value of In-Person Classroom Learning", where attendees will review and practice a pedagogic framework for making classroom sessions both engaging, invaluable, and irreplaceable.
