This event is planned for and by Assistant Principals who know what they need to improve learning in their schools. The entire day is a look at how the school leadership team with the principal and assistant principal working in tandem in their school can promote both academic success and the learning environment by building a community of experts for 'their' schools. The presenters will share how they create a safe, collaborative atmosphere, Principal and Assistant Principal and PLC program, and a collaborative, supportive environment for all leaders and learners. The event is planned to support the struggles that Assistant Principals have as they attempt to do it all-Manage from the middle, Connect, and Inspire. The focus on our work on this day we be around how 'inspecting the little things can stop the bigger things from happening in crisis' and how to improve communication to inspire and improve learning, conducting walk-throughs that build relationships, and creating a community/school team to support student learning. This day is to support the assistant principal’s role as it exists in their individual school, and the role that all assistant principals may fill in any given year. The team we have as our presenters have a proven history of building community, using data to create a culture of respect for teaching and learning, and sharing the work so that all teachers and students thrive. You will learn how one school team uses instructional support, data analysis, and teacher and student ownership of the data to excel. Join us as we learn from Charles Farmer, Lauren Bauer, Alisha Erickson, and Adam Demonbreun from Franklin Special School District. You will have time to learn, collaborate, and share goals, challenges, and strategies with your peers.
