THREE POPULAR KEYNOTE ADDRESSES
Tim Burns' keynote addresses, delivered at conferences nationally and around the world, are fast-paced, engaging, informative, and highly practical. Here are three of the most popular and frequently requested keynote addresses.
THREE BRAINS ARE BETTER THAN ONE:
Integrating Brain, Body and Heart Intelligence
for Enhanced, Engaged Learning
Integrating Brain, Body and Heart Intelligence
for Enhanced, Engaged Learning
This fast-paced, interactive and fun presentation highlights what is new at the interface between brain, body and heart research, as it applies to learning, development, and intelligence. At the same time the presentation underscores the imperative to take very seriously the need for "whole child" education in order to prepare the next generation for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
In the past ten years more has been learned about the brain than in all previous years combined. A virtual explosion in knowledge has occured that is rapidly altering the landscape of what we know about human learning, development and potential. More recently, science has made important discoveries about the human heart as an organ of intelligence. Moreover the body itself has a vast intelligence and "brain" of its own. Movement, play and hands-on learning, for example, are vital in the organization of the brain throughout life. These findings have vast and exciting implications for childhood development, adolescent well-being, and adult creativity.

MOVING STUDENTS BEYOND RISK TO RESILIENCY:
The Science Behind Teachers That Make a Difference
in Student Well-Being and Academic Success
The Science Behind Teachers That Make a Difference
in Student Well-Being and Academic Success
This presentation is highly informative, interactive, humorous and above all very practical. You will leave feeling validated for your efforts to make the world a better place for students -- even on those days that you feel like you might have done little.
The past decade has permanently altered our perception of students who come to our schools from environments of risk. Research clearly supports the view that when educational leaders move from a perception of "at-risk students" to one of "students at-promise," the academic, social and emotional well-being of all students is enhanced. How is this accomplished and what is the single most important protective factor ensuring positive outcomes for students? This engaging presentation provides the what, the why and the how of that question.

IT'S ABOUT BALANCE!
Enhanced Teacher Well-Being Makes a Difference in Student Success
Enhanced Teacher Well-Being Makes a Difference in Student Success
Educators and are under more and more pressure, from a variety of sources, to meet the many needs of students. Most of us do it willingly and well, week after month after year. In the process of meeting those needs, however, it is possible to get off-balance and become neglectful of care-of-self. This presentation combines intriguing findings from the fields of stress-management, wellness and peak performance. What emerges is a mind/body/spirit framework for optimal well-being, plus greater pleasure and enjoyment in our chosen vocation.
