Speaking Engagements

Alana teams up with educators to play the game of education, where students navigate a series of quests, assignments, and exams to advance their grades. She argues that this glitch often leads to a narrow understanding of success, overlooking the multifaceted skills and qualities essential for thriving in today’s society.

In a world where artificial intelligence can easily achieve victory, Alana challenges the conventional view of achievement and advocates for a paradigm shift in our approach to teaching and learning. She encourages educators to challenge the status quo, redefine success, and empower their students to thrive beyond the confines of traditional expectations. Alana calls upon educators to rewrite the playbook, championing innovation and independent thinking to level up every student’s skills and pave the way for an epic future. The journey towards this transformation begins with us. You game?
