As a nonprofit CEO who is, first and foremost, a husband and father of three, Rob cares deeply about promoting justice and equitable opportunities for all kids to be able fulfill their dreams. After earning his graduate degree focused on U.S. human rights foreign policy, Rob worked on U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) programs and at other nonprofits that shaped his belief that health is a human right. Rob believes that we have under-invested in kids’ health and well-being and that healthy kids make a better world.
Under his leadership as CEO of Action for Healthy Kids (AFHK) since 2008, the organization has grown to become the largest family and school health network of more than 150,000 volunteers and champions serving the health and well-being of 20 million children in 55,000 schools nationwide.
“Teachers can move around. Parents and kids can change all the time, but your policies are what stand the test of time. If you embed in your policies really good practices around the health of the kids then you can move your whole community, all the kids, and future generations. The biggest service over many years to come.”
-Rob Bisceglie

Kyle Wagner, the founder of Transform Educational Consulting Limited, has always had a bold mission since he became an educator 15+ years ago: Create transformational learning experiences that connect students' interests and passions to issues that matter in the real world. This bold mission has literally taken him around the world. From the design of living museums, model governments, and engaging project-based experiences as a Humanities Teacher in world renowned High Tech High in San Diego; to co-founding student-led programs and schools as a Program Director in China; Kyle has remained true to that mission, and vowed to share it with others.
His book, The Power of Simple, outlines the simple shifts classrooms and schools can make to allow for these experiences, and the conditions required to ensure they have lasting impact. Kyle currently resides in Hong Kong, where through workshops, coaching, courses and bespoke training, he has now empowered over 1,000 forward thinking educators worldwide to create more socially, globally, and emotionally aware citizens through project-based learning.
“If we honor the fact that these kids are literally that adaptive. They can insert themselves anywhere. They're like chameleons, then what can we do as educators to kind of reflect that both in the experiences we offer them and our dispositions, mindsets to be able to offer them that kind of experience?”

Craig's experience as a counselor, coach, teacher, and principal set him up perfectly to develop a model of teacher observation focused on building trusting relationships that spark teaching and learning growth. As the author of Trust-Based Observations, Craig is on a mission to change the world of teacher observations to a model of support that fosters risk-taking, innovation, and creativity.
Driven to transform the world of teacher evaluation and observation through Trust-based Observations. When leaders build trust with their teachers such that they feel safe, then those teachers will embrace the vulnerability necessary to take big risks in their practice, the result is teaching and learning growth.
“One, teaching is craft and art. There are a million different ways that you can be a teacher. There's not just one way that you can be a teacher. Two, patience. Take time to get to know your teachers because you will see different elements out of them. You don't want to make a mistake and offer a suggestion on something that might be a strength that you don't realize is.”
