Future educators earn a spot to compete at the National Educators Rising Conference
Three Keystone Oaks High School students will be competing in the Educators Rising National Conference after earning top honors at the recent state conference.
Seniors Vee Betta and Kellen Veri earned 2nd and 3rd place, respectively, in the Creative Lecture competition, where they delivered a 4- to 10-minute TED Talk-style lecture (without using notes!) on the topic, “Reimagining Schools: A Student’s Vision for the Future of Learning.”
Senior Isra Mejri earned 4th place in the EdRising Moment competition, which challenged students to deliver a 3- to 4-minute speech about why they aim to pursue a career in education.
Vee, Kellen, and Isra were among 10 Keystone Oaks High School students to participate in this year’s Educators Rising State Conference. Educators Rising is a program that provides curriculum, training, and support for high school students who are interested in pursuing careers in education. The program is implemented through Mrs. Emily Brill’s Principles of Teaching course and is in its second year at Keystone Oaks High School.
