During this session, we will dive into how to model UDL through our leadership practices, including how to universally design professional learning, integrate mastery-oriented feedback into our observation and evaluation system, set realistic and attainable goals with our teachers, provide them with tools for progress monitoring, and promote voice and choice into our everyday leadership.

Knowing Brilliant Teaching...With Yemi Stembridge Precon In this session, the argument will be made that the teaching necessary for closing Equity gaps in public schools requires teaching that is culturally responsive, rigorous, and designed with the local needs and assets of students and also the contexts for learning in mind. This kind of teaching can be called "brilliant" because it illuminates and projects light on the possibilities for engaged learning and life-changing understandings. This is an easy argument to make to teachers, and many administrators agree in principle to this statement, as well. But too many teachers see the systems (i.e. policy environment) to be restrictive of the very types of pedagogy to which brilliant teaching aspires. This session will highlight some of the issues that teachers face in their efforts to do the work necessary to provide more equitable and meaningful opportunities to all of their students in the classroom. Time 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM 9:00 AM
Fostering Collective Efficacy To Maximize Impact Precon Schools face many barriers in their pursuit to foster student growth. What is needed to overcome those barriers is the collaborative effort of leaders and teachers. Success in schools lies in the strength of believing that through their combined efforts, principals and their faculty can accomplish great things for the learning lives of students. Collective efficacy is the shared conviction that educators make a significant contribution in raising student achievement. During this full day session, we will learn about the collective efficacy research and demonstrate practical ways leaders and teachers can strengthen efficacy in their schools and classrooms. *Lunch is included for full-day preconferences. Time 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM 9:00 AM
HALF-DAY Culturally Relevant and Sustaining...Precon This session will challenge educators to give voice to the students and families they serve and guide them on a path towards providing all students with access to Culturally Responsive and Sustaining Education (CRSE) and Formative Assessment. When it comes to advancing CRS formative assessment, it is important to recognize that we have historically failed to partner with English Learners and their families to formatively assess language acquisition, identify language acquisition levels, set goals around language acquisition, and celebrate gains. We will explore strategies to begin this process as well as to build the critical consciousness of our ELs so that they are empowered to own their learning and create change in their lives, thereby disrupting the status quo. It is time to "Amplify the Voice" of all students and families through CRS formative assessment. Time 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM 9:00 AM
Culturally Relevant and Sustaining/Student Agency Precons Package Culturally Relevant and Sustaining Formative Assessment for English Learners (a.m.) with Advancing Student Agency through Teacher Collaboration (p.m.) for a reduced fee. Time 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM 9:00 AM
HALF–DAY Advancing Student Agency...Precon Join us for this highly engaging session where participants will learn how to build student agency, advance equity, and accelerate learning through a proven process that leverages the power of self and peer- assessment and goal setting. Learn strategies that empower educators and learners to drive their own learning through gathering and analyzing evidence and taking collective actions, thereby building collective efficacy. Join us and learn how teacher collaboration can increase student ownership and agency and build efficacy for both students and teachers! Time 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM 1:00 PM
