Elevate offers practical, interactive breakout sessions spanning different age-based and specialty tracks to help educators craft a comprehensive and personalized plan to meet today’s challenges. Attend sessions specifically geared toward early childhood educators such Teaching Toddlers Social Skills. A breakout session offering to guide K-5 educators on their implementation journey is We Are All in This Together: Supporting Executive Functioning Skills.

You’ll also find specialty tracks for neurodiverse students, secondary education and more to address unique and specific needs.
Conscious Discipline’s keynote speaker line-up continues to grow in acclaim year after year. Join us for engaging, transformational keynotes from the following leading experts in neuroscience, child development and social emotional learning.
Dr. Becky Bailey is a powerful agent of transformational change. Her mission to improve the lives of educators, children and families coalesced into Conscious Discipline more than 25 years ago. Conscious Discipline is a trauma-informed, neuroscience-based practice that unlocks the power of self-regulation for optimal living and learning. Each year, Becky appears at Elevate Conscious Discipline, a national conference she designed to inspire and celebrate educators.
Latoria Marcellus is the co-host of the popular podcast, Real Talk for Real Teachers. She has more than 18 years of experience as a classroom teacher, reading specialist, and coach. Her background as an education champion and creator of a two-generation nonprofit organization shines from the stage and in Conscious Discipline’s eLearning course, “Engage with Equity”.
Lety Valero is Conscious Discipline’s resident “Feeling Buddies” expert, a Certified Instructor, and national presenter with an extensive background as a teacher, assistant principal and preschool director. She uses her personal experiences to illustrate how Conscious Discipline’s powers, skills, structures, and tools have powerfully transformed her life, and relationship with her feelings first, and how that kind of self-regulation can be modeled and implemented in the lives of her students.
DJ Batiste is a powerful, nationally recognized relationship advocate and inspirational speaker who knows first-hand the transformational power of Conscious Discipline. With a history of gang associations, D.J. was certain he wouldn’t graduate high school. Then, he met a teacher who used Conscious Discipline practices. The way she implemented strategies and skills to manage conflict and times of upset changed his year, and the trajectory of his entire life.
Dr. Lori Desautels is a respected voice in the field of neuroscience as a professor, author, speaker and founder of the Educational Neuroscience Symposium, and a vocal advocate of Conscious Discipline’s reach and effectiveness—especially when it comes to the power that noticing behavior and co-regulation have on executive functioning skills and student success.
