If there has ever been a time to celebrate all we’ve been through and all that we’ve learned, 2021 is that year. You were up to the challenge, and now, it’s time to take a deep breath, reflect on all of your experiences, and celebrate that

we’ve survived, we’ve thrived, WE’RE UNSTOPPABLE. After the most challenging of years, it’s time to apply some of that relentless energy to building each other up and sharing our stories of success. We’re thrilled that you’ve decided to join us virtually for CELEBRATE: You’re Unstoppable!

3C: Stepping Out of the Box and Into the Community

It’s no secret that administrators should look for opportunities to engage and involve community stakeholders in the schooling process.

Scott Astey, Twinsburg City Schools

3D: Overcoming Poverty and Trauma

More students suffer from poverty and trauma than ever before. Rather than using it as an excuse, educators must create a culture where students feel safe and loved. This is the first step in moving the needle toward academic progress.

Lynne Stark and Jennifer Fazio, Clearview Local Schools

This session will be an interactive opportunity for educators to share, discuss, and learn about unique strategies and approaches to succeed with tweeners, their parents, and the unparalleled journey through the ominous “Middle.”

Carrie Sanchez, Port Clinton City Schools

THURSDAY AFTERNOON KEYNOTE

RADICAL IMAGINATION: WHY CHILDREN’S LITERATURE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD with SAYANTANI DASGUPTA

When I was in practice as a pediatrician, I wrote almost daily prescriptions for reading. I did this because I knew, as the pediatricians and family practitioners who continue to do this all around the country know, that stories are good medicine — reading aloud improves receptive and expressive language, promotes attachment and early literacy, and improves school performance. What I’ve come to realize now as a writer of children’s fiction is that children’s books also do the critical work of building young people’s imagination. Children’s books are in the business of radical imagination.

Children’s and YA fiction are roadmaps to the future, because it is in their pages that young people get the tools and the imaginative practice to envision what they want their world to look like.

But a big part of the puzzle is the issue of representation – ideally, of a community from within a community. You’ve heard the expression, “It’s hard to be what you can’t see?” Well, it’s going to be near impossible to change the world for the better if all of our children and young people cannot see themselves into the future–not just surviving, but powerful enough to thrive and create meaningful change. Stories in which children of all racial and ethnic backgrounds are heroes, children of all family structures are centered, children of all sexualities, economic backgrounds, and genders are the protagonists who do the critical work of growing all of our children’s radical imaginations. They also do the work of building a radical empathy and love among all those children who love these stories. Children’s and YA stories, when fully and radically representational of our todays, pave roads toward better tomorrows for us all.

ABOUT SAYANTANI DASGUPTA

Sayantani DasGupta is the New York Times bestselling author of the critically acclaimed, Bengali folktale and string theory-inspired Kiranmala and the Kingdom Beyond books, the first of which—The Serpent’s Secret—was a Bank Street Best Book of the Year, a Booklist Best Middle Grade Novel of the 21st Century, and an EB White Read Aloud Honor Book. Sayantani is a pediatrician by training, but now teaches at Columbia University. When she’s not writing or reading, Sayantani spends time watching cooking shows with her trilingual children and protecting her black Labrador retriever Khushi from the many things that scare him, including plastic bags. She is a team member of We Need Diverse Books, and can be found online at sayantanidasgupta.com and on Twitter at @sayantani16.

FRIDAY MORNING KEYNOTE THE POWER OF ONE with JIMMY WAYNE

When it comes to working with and reaching students in our communities, it’s crucial that we believe in the power of one. It only takes one adult, one caring individual, one mentor, one teacher, one administrator, or one foster parent to change a child’s life. Jimmy Wayne will speak and sing about his experiences in the foster-care system, and he will work to ensure that everyone leaves with a mission to be the one — an advocate for children in foster care.

ABOUT JIMMY WAYNE

Jimmy Wayne is a former foster kid turned awardwinning country music artist whose songs and story highlight his mission to raise awareness for children in foster care. Jimmy’s hits include “Stay Gone,” “Paper Angels,” “I Love You This Much” and “Do You Believe Me Now,” which earned BMI’s prestigious Million-Air Award for receiving one million radio spins in America. In 2009, Jimmy toured with Brad Paisley and recorded “Sara Smile” with Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame duo Daryl Hall and John Oates.

In 2010, Jimmy walked halfway across America (from Nashville to Phoenix) to raise awareness for kids aging out of the foster-care system. In 2012, Jimmy helped get legislative bills passed extending the age of foster care to 21 in California, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Ohio. In 2014 he released Walk to Beautiful: The Power of Love and a Homeless Kid Who Found the Way, a three-time New York Times bestselling memoir which — in just 18 months — crossed the 100,000 print sales milestone.

In 2016 he received the prestigious Points of Light award from President George W. Bush, and in 2017 he received an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from William Woods University and in 2018 he received an honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts from Cal State University San Marcos.

Jimmy has performed on the Grand Ole Opry 223 times. He lives in Nashville and continues to work tirelessly on behalf of at-risk foster youth by performing, writing books, and keynote speaking. Jimmy’s third book Ruby the Foster Dog — which followed Paper Angels (2011) and Walk To Beautiful (2014) — released on November 1, 2017 via Broadstreet Publishing.

OAESA’S 65TH ANNUAL PROFESSIONAL CONFERENCE AND TRADE SHOW

Join forces with educators across Ohio as we work to create schools that are more equitable for all.

As educators navigate the path toward equity, justice, and anti-racism together, we must dig deep to acknowledge problematic issues, seek education, take risks, try to be better, and work actively to improve the world for the marginalized students in our schools. This work is introspective and challenging, and ultimately, best done together. Don’t miss OAESA’s 65th Annual Professional Conference, With Liberty and Justice For All, June 15-17, 2022 at Nationwide Hotel and Conference Center in Columbus, Ohio.
