"Keynote: Tim Clue, The Unlikely Teacher.

Before Tim was an educator, speaker, comic, playwright, and father, he was an undiagnosed, hyperactive, dyslexic rug rat, raised in a small rural town outside of Chicago. Teachers stand and applaud Tim’s unique  ability to remind them of their own core strengths as mentors, artists, and teachers of curiosity. He showcases how a challenged learner can lead equally challenged educators on a journey to connect and build a mindset of lifelong engagement. His keynote celebrates, motivates, and 'LOL' empowers our nation's most undervalued assets—teachers! Tim travels across our country, mentoring, motivating, and modeling better ways to create lifelong, curious learners who are more capable of lighting the path to their own journeys.
