Workshop Description: The number of undergraduate students seeking a degree in education has been declining for many years, and teacher retention has been at an all-time low since the pandemic. School leaders must be thoughtful and creative in recruiting and retaining new teachers. Discover and be introduced to new innovative approaches that can help your school find and keep incredible educators.

Workshop Description: Teachers are not resistant to change and innovation, far from it. However, how do districts advocate for schools to appropriately support and reward change and not punish innovation in teaching? Which evaluation and assessment structures are outdated, biased, or even make faculty fearful of experimentation? Addressing these concerns will empower educators to become "makers of the future," confidently implementing evidence-based practices that enhance both teaching quality and professional growth.

Workshop Description: How can Teachers, beyond the breaking point, continue to draw out the passion in the classroom to connect with students, let alone make changes? "Unsustainable" and "burnt out" are increasingly whispered among colleagues. Schools face significant teacher shortages and increased teaching loads and feel pressure internally and externally, which impacts morale and engagement. Some stressors include teachers' expectations to do more with less, an intensifying need for equitable and inclusive teaching, teaching in new modalities, and not forgetting the current geopolitical climate(disinformation, nationalism, and political party conflict).

Workshop Description: K-12 student achievement remains a concern, with struggling students needing targeted intervention. Research shows 75% of public schools report that focus and inattention significantly affect learning in 2023–24. Additionally, 62% of teachers believe the current assessment model disrupts instruction, compared to 37% of administrators. As districts rely on assessments to track progress, debates over equitable and effective measurement continue, prompting some to explore alternatives. What are those alternatives? What have other school districts tried? What has worked and not worked?
