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. Over the course of the past 10 years, Ian has worked with clients in more than 30 countries and made more than 7,000 presentations typically speaking to between 250,000 and 350,000 people a year. But Ian is an educator first and foremost. 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.
