Presentations Primarily for School Leaders

     Blueprint for Awesomeness: Building a School Culture that            
     Empowers Staff and Inspires Kids

Student achievement does not occur in a vacuum. It happens in a school where students like to learn and teachers like to work. It happens in a school that has the right culture. Whether you're a teacher leader or a building administrator, you have the ability to shape the culture in your school.

     Winning in the Trenches

It's easy for school leaders to feel like they're in the "trenches."  The daily grind of school administration can wear you down and sap your energy.  This presentation focuses on the nuts and bolts of school administration and how to thrive in everything from student discipline to parent conferences.

Presentations Primarily for Teachers

     Classroom Management: The One Rule You Need to Know

How do we handle disruptive and disrespectful students? How do we develop a climate in our classroom that is conducive to learning? Whether you're a veteran or a rookie, everyone needs to remember this rule.

     School Leadership: It's Not Just for Principals

While the most important role for teachers is to teach the students in their classroom, they should never underestimate their potential for impacting the culture of the school. Teachers are never neutral with respect to a school's culture. They do things every day that either undermine or enhance the mission of the school.  This session focuses on the ways that teachers can lead and transform the culture of a school.
