Session 1: Tuesday, June 25 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Research on effective school leaders reveals a set of key actions and responsibilities that principals and leadership teams can enact that have a strong, direct effect on teacher efficacy and student success.

In this session, we'll help you identify what matters most right now for your school's improvement. You'll also learn about the power of best first instruction and a brain-based model for student learning that your teachers can use to make their initial, Tier 1 instruction more engaging and memorable for all students.
Session 3: Thursday, June 27 or Thursday, October 24 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Whenever you implement a new policy, procedure, or process at your school, your staff may need to change their own routines and beliefs--and this change process can be challenging for many people.

Session 4: Friday, June 28 or Friday, October 25 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. In our final session, we'll work together to help you develop plans for creating a positive, continuous-improvement culture at your school using the power of asset-based thinking and community engagement. |
