Every instructional coach knows that the most important work often happens in the margins—between the data points, the formal evaluations, and the "I’m just fine" hallway conversations. Join us for a dynamic roundtable where we’ll dive into the nuanced art of building-level leadership. From decoding teacher resistance to fostering a culture of critical thinking, we’re moving beyond the clipboard to discuss what actually moves the needle in Missouri classrooms. Whether you’re a veteran lead teacher or a first-year coach, bring your toughest scenarios and your best "wins" for a collaborative deep dive into the craft of coaching. The goal? To leave with fresh strategies for reading the room and refining the result.
School-wide music video. Pickleball tournament. Community Car Shows. Building a marimba. Journaling. Mental Health Education. Senior projects can be more than a capstone—they can be a catalyst for real change. In our program, students identify something that would improve their lives, the school, or the community, then turn their research into action. This session will share how we structure student-led projects that move beyond compliance to authentic impact. Participants will learn practical frameworks for guiding inquiry, supporting project management, and assessing real-world learning so students can apply what they know in meaningful ways.
