Ian Jukes, March 26th

Ian Jukes had to cancel as speaker at NCAIS in the fall, but now he's healthy and back in North Carolina. Ian has been a teacher, an administrator, writer, international consultant, university instructor and keynote speaker.

His focus has consistently been on the compelling need to restructure our educational institutions so that they become relevant to the current and future needs of children.
