Classroom Leaders
Your role as an educator is powerful, but it doesn’t end when the last bell rings. In this energizing and purpose-driven session, Bonnie Nieves, M.Ed., and Dr. Rachelle Dene Poth team up to guide you through what it means to lead, inspire, and innovate beyond the boundaries of your classroom. Through shared stories, laughter, and honest reflection, Bonnie and Rachelle explore how personal connection and friendship can be the most unexpected—and most essential—ingredients in professional growth. Their own friendship serves as a reminder that when educators support one another with trust and authenticity, it becomes easier to dream big, take risks, and stay grounded in joy. Whether you’re launching a passion project, exploring new roles, or simply wondering what’s next, this session will help you see your strengths in a new light and remind you that you don’t have to navigate it alone.
