In this session, educators will learn strategies to lead a classroom or school with an eye on success for all students. You'll explore how to use teachable moments instead of punitive consequences, shift from a deficit to an asset-based approach, and raise expectations without adding more rules. The goal is to create classrooms and schools where every student feels valued, supported, and motivated to thrive—and where families are engaged partners in the learning process.
