Effective leaders live by this truth: If you want to solve a problem in your organization, examine the systems that cause it. In this collaborative, action-oriented pre-conference experience, we zero in on leaders’ primary role in elevating learning for all students as we investigate the systems of assessment and instruction. This session is designed to meet role-specific needs for creating lasting impact in schools, as we:
Define leadership values that match your school’s vision and mission.
Visually map how teaching and assessment systems affect student results.
Plan how to distribute leadership to ensure consistent teaching practices.
Target Audience: Superintendents/Assistant Superintendents, Principals, Assistant Principals; all other district and building instructional leaders and/or aspiring leaders.
Are your students consistently engaged in learning? Let's explore how to captivate the diverse minds in your classroom, day-in and day-out, by deepening our instructional toolboxes. In this interactive pre-conference, you'll dive into engagement strategies that lay the foundation for learning based on high expectations, critical thinking, deep understanding, and real-world relevance. Join us for an immersive experience that places student learning at the heart of professional practice and reinvigorates our ideas around instructional excellence.
