16TH ANNUAL BACK-TO-SCHOOL WORKSHOP
Kids Deserve It!
Todd Nesloney
Six-time author, award-winning educator TEDx speaker, founding member of Get Your Lead On
August 16, 2023, from 8 a.m.- Noon
Northern State University Johnson Fine Arts Center
Todd Nesloney is the director of culture and strategic leadership for the Texas Elementary Principals and Supervisors Association. He was previously a principal/lead learner at a preK-5 school in Texas. He is the award-winning author of "Kids Deserve It!," "Stories From Webb," "Sparks in the Dark," "When Kids Lead" and his newest book, "In This Season." He has also published a children’s book, "Spruce & Lucy."
Todd has been recognized by John C. Maxwell as a top 10 finalist for the 2018 Transformational Leadership Award; by the White House as a connected educator champion of change; the National School Board Association as one of the 20 to Watch in Education; the Center for Digital Education as a top 40 innovator in education; the BAMMYs as the national elementary principal of the year and the national elementary teacher of the year; and the Texas Computer Education Association as their Texas elementary teacher of the year. He is also a two-time TEDx speaker.
Todd was a classroom champions teacher, working with Olympic and Paralympic athletes. He also served as a member of the Scholastic Principal Advisory Board.
Todd is passionate about education and innovation. He was a classroom teacher for seven years before becoming a campus principal in Navasota, Texas, where he brought in new staff and used his creative ideas to transform the campus.
Obvious at his talks is Todd's immense love for doing what’s best for kids despite limitations. Todd worked in an environment where almost 90 percent of his students were on a free-and-reduced lunch. His campus and district were 85 percent minority and faced many challenges. But that’s exactly what Todd thrives on - he loves a challenge.
Todd travels and speaks about his innovative practices and how we have to stop making excuses on why we can’t do things for our students. Todd also speaks about his use of technology in the classroom and with his school and offers educators ideas on ways to use existing tools to create the best possible learning environment for children.
Todd hosts the podcast series “Honestly, #LetsTalk,” blogs and share his stories through Twitter and other social media. Todd and his wife, Lissette, have twin boys, Liam and Brixton; and live in Brenham, Texas.
