"They don't care about their education." "They are not capable of learning." "I can't work with them." "I can't get through to them." Just as educators may have these thoughts about their students, so, too, may students have similar thoughts about them: "She doesn't care about my education." "He is not capable of understanding me." "I can't work with her." "I can't get through to him."

About the presenter

Robert Jackson began his teaching career with a no-nonsense but caring approach to education in Indianapolis public schools more than 20 years ago—after being cut from the NFL (Minnesota Vikings). He created a No More Excuses curriculum, which has been featured in publications nationally and is being used in K–12 schools, colleges, and universities.

Jackson is a sought-after expert on teaching cultural diversity, restorative practices, socioemotional learning, working with students who have experienced trauma, and educating Black and Latino males in the country. He has delivered keynote addresses and holds workshops for educators, administrators, parents, and students.

He is the author of five books and the 2019 Alpha Foundation National Motivational Educator of the Year.
