Rachel’s Challenge – Rachel Scott was the first victim of the Columbine High School tragedy in 1999.  Since that fatal day, Rachel’s incredible story has been told to over 10 million people in venues around the world.  Oprah, Larry King Live, The Today Show, Fox News, CNN, ABC, CBS, and NBC are a few of the media programs that have shared the story of her life.   It has also been featured in a television documentary, a television advertisement about kindness, and has been the subject of several books.  This keynote message contains five powerful challenges taken from Rachel Joy Scott’s life.  These challenges are being implemented in secondary schools across the country, and are making them safer and more enjoyable places to be.  Heart-rendering, humorous, though-provoking and entertaining, every listener will walk away from this presentation a changed person.

Rachel’s Legacy – This keynote session is the follow-up program for conferences that have previously participated in Rachel’s Challenge. Listeners will be encouraged and inspired to create their own legacy of kindness and compassion as they experience more details of Rachel Joy Scott’s life in a powerful multi-media presentation.  Rachel’s Legacy is full of new stories, new video footage, and new challenges, and is just as moving as Rachel’s Challenge.  Anyone who has seen the original program will be compelled to know more about how Rachel’s story is affecting the culture of thousands of schools across America today.   

• Breakout Sessions
• The Best Antidote To School Violence – The best way to diffuse potential violence in the behavior of students is by focusing on their hearts and not just their heads.  Using illustrations from America’s early textbooks and teacher training manuals, this breakout session shows how to inspire the heart, instruct the head, and enable the hands of students to transform a school’s climate and culture, effecting academic achievements.  Both entertaining and instructive, every educator will be challenged by this workshop.  This is a two-part breakout session is for adults.
• Transforming a School’s Climate & Culture – Changing the climate of a school can be immediate; changing the culture of a school takes time.  Climate is affected by day to day events in the life of a school.   Climate can be drastically changed by a powerful assembly or a national tragedy such as 9/11 or Columbine.  However, climate always has a tendency to level back out to “business as usual” within a matter of days or weeks.  Culture change must be deliberate.  It involves setting goals and understanding the principles of permanent change.  This workshop for adults addresses how to impact both the climate and culture of your school, with the emphasis on long-lasting cultural change.
