October 16th: Breakout Session I ~ Leadership Focus 

In today's ever-evolving educational landscape, the ability to foster a culture that prioritizes collaboration, reflection, and continuous improvement is more crucial than ever. Learning walks serve as a powerful leadership practice that can transform traditional classroom observations and feedback into dynamic, growth-focused adult learning experiences for all educators. Explore how learning walks can identify strengths, areas for development, and opportunities for collaboration, all while fostering an open dialogue about teaching and learning. By observing and discussing teaching strategies, educators can reflect on their practices in a supportive environment. This encourages a mindset of growth and continuous improvement. You’ll have the opportunity to learn from experienced leaders who will share their insights and best practices, making this session not just informative but also profoundly impactful. Get involved and lead the charge in transforming your educational environment with learning walks—let's elevate our teaching and enhance student outcomes together!

Presentation

October 16th: Breakout Session I ~ Instructional Practices Focus 

October 16th: Breakout Session I ~ General Focus 

Blank stares. Polite smiles. Active resistance and pushback ... you've seen it all. And although you've read all the "How to have tough conversations" books, you still haven't been able to crack the code on how to give feedback that every teacher will not only welcome, but immediately implement. In this interactive session, discover the biggest feedback mistakes leaders make, and learn how to give honest feedback to teachers without causing resistance, hurt feelings, or downright apathy. Find out what you must do differently when giving feedback to struggling teachers versus proficient teachers and how you have to adjust your feedback to meet the needs of master teachers. You'll walk away with specific tools and examples you can use to plan your own feedback with the teachers you support so that you can help every teacher you serve show tangible growth this school year.
