The Empowered Learner Conference: 
Shaping Success Through Mindset

Every classroom includes a diversity of learners. Beyond typical learning needs, some learners struggle with attention deficits, executive functioning issues or other specific learning challenges, creating a range of needs in a learning environment.

The Empowered Learner Conference gives attendees an opportunity to hear from expert speakers and discover proven strategies and tools that will support students and inspire you to leave a stronger educator for young learners in all settings.

In its inaugural year, The Empowered Learner Conference will focus on mindset:

    • Keynote Speaker Jared Cooney Horvath will discuss the potential, complexity and power of mindset in a learning setting.
    • Keynote Speaker Donnie Campbell will speak to his own success encouraging young people to reach their potential.
    • Breakout Sessions on mindset, as well as other topics related to learning, will maximize attendees’ experience.
    • Lunch (provided) will give participants the chance to discuss and share ideas from the conference and the classroom.

The Empowered Learner Conference will be held in person on Friday, February 14, 2025 at Springer School and Center's Hyde Park campus.

Afternoon Keynote by Donnie Campbell

Donnie Campbell

When you create better people, you’ll create winning teams. 

In his powerful leadership keynote, Coach Donnie Campbell, the real-life inspiration for Ted Lasso, inspires audiences to discover their "MVP" - their mission, values, and principles to inspire individuals to reach their potential and teams to reach new heights.

Coach Donnie Campbell is a math teacher and a high school basketball coach from Kansas who was plucked out of obscurity when Jason Sudeikis, the American actor and star of the 5-time Emmy Award winning show, revealed to Stephen Colbert on the late show that Campbell was in part the impetus for the lead character he plays with such wit and wisdom. It was back in the late 1990’s when Jason played basketball at Shawnee Mission West and Donnie was his coach. Little did Campbell know that all of the pearls of wisdom he was dropping on Jason and the team would appear years later and make an indelible impression on millions around the world.
