In this session, we will discuss how to create built-in intervention time that works specifically at the high school level.

As a platform for discussion, four strategies will be shared that center around 1) reflecting on personal practices in how we show up for our students and staff in ways that are open and inclusive, 2) strengthening School Improvement Plans to reflect an equitable lens, 3) reviewing school data sources and committee structures to ensure that we are focused on all students and their individual growth, and 4) realigning our stakeholder engagement practices in ways that best reflect the students and communities we serve.

If you take care of the teachers, they will take care of the students!
Monday December 9, 2024 2:30pm - 3:30pm CST
When teachers are supported, students flourish. Our proposal prioritizes the well-being of educators, recognizing their pivotal role in shaping young minds. By providing comprehensive support programs, including physical and mental health resources, we ensure teachers are equipped to create nurturing learning environments. Continuous professional development opportunities empower educators to refine their skills and stay abreast of best practices. Competitive compensation and supportive work environments bolster teacher retention, fostering stability within schools. Involving teachers in decision-making processes cultivates a culture of collaboration and innovation. When teachers feel valued and supported, they are better positioned to inspire, guide, and nurture the growth of their students. Thus, investing in teachers is not only an investment in their well-being but also in the holistic success and flourishing of every student they serve.

​​Join me in a workshop where we delve into the powerful connection between teacher well-being and student success. Our theme, "If You Take Care of the Teachers, They Will Take Care of the Students," highlights the pivotal role educators play in shaping student outcomes. Through interactive sessions and expert insights, discover practical strategies for supporting teacher growth and empowerment. Gain valuable tools to foster a positive learning environment where both teachers and students thrive. Don't miss this opportunity to make a real impact in education.
