As the 2023 West Virginia Teacher of the Year, Amber Nichols brings a powerful perspective on the evolving role of educators in today’s classrooms. In this session, she will share how teachers can embrace innovation while staying rooted in the humanity of teaching—ensuring that creativity, expertise, and authentic connections remain at the center of learning. Drawing on her own experiences as a teacher leader, Nichols will explore how to thoughtfully integrate new instructional approaches, deepen content knowledge, and use storytelling as a bridge between pedagogy and possibility. Participants will leave inspired with practical strategies and renewed confidence to navigate shifts in education, including the opportunities and challenges presented by AI, while holding fast to the heart of what makes teaching transformative.
