As buildings work on school improvement plans, collaboration and planning are essential to success. This time is meant for teams who have prearranged planning with their building administrator. This can be done in home buildings and needs to be agreed upon with all team members.

You’ll learn how to guide students in writing from new perspectives while reinforcing key concepts and building communication skills. Walk away with practical examples and ready-to-use ideas to make writing both fun and meaningful.
This session explores teacher well-being from both individual and systemic lenses, addressing the challenges educators face and the solutions that foster resilience, job satisfaction, and a supportive work environment. Attendees will gain actionable strategies to enhance their personal well-being while also advocating for institutional changes that prioritize teacher mental health and creating cultures of care and support.
This session is intended for building work that provides a sense of closure to the year as well as an opportunity to plan for the upcoming 2025-2026 school year. This is for principal/building-led professional learning that will be held in individual buildings. Please check with your building administrator to see if this is an expectation for you.
