This session examines artificial intelligence through the eyes of a student and principal, exploring how they currently use AI tools, what ethical frameworks they're operating with (or without), and what school leaders can do to guide that experience intentionally. Focus will be on AI tools that cause thinking and not "just doing the work" for the student. Participants will hear directly from a student regarding the problems with AI and solutions that will lead to higher level thinking and questioning. Topics will cover academic integrity, data privacy, algorithmic bias, attribution, and critical evaluation. Participants will practice facilitating student-centered conversations that build AI literacy rather than simply enforce compliance.
Participants will explore best practices for supporting students with IEPs, 504 Plans, disabilities, and other unique needs in Driver Education. This session will provide practical strategies for accommodations, family communication, interdepartmental collaboration, and proactive planning to ensure equitable access and student success. Assistant principals will leave with tools and systems they can implement to better support students and families while navigating the Driver Education process.
Every administrator has encountered a teacher whose performance is not meeting expectations. While some situations ultimately require difficult personnel decisions, many struggling teachers possess the capacity for growth when provided with targeted support, clear expectations, meaningful feedback, and consistent coaching. This interactive session focuses on identifying, developing, and supporting the "saveable" teacher—the educator who demonstrates potential but requires intentional leadership intervention to improve instructional effectiveness. Through role-playing, coaching simulations, and collaborative problem-solving, participants will develop practical tools to move teachers from underperforming to effective while maintaining accountability and high expectations.
Discover how AI tools can help you write custom code for Google Sheets - no programming experience needed! We'll explore creative automations that save time, support students, and streamline your workflow. You'll see actual solutions successfully implemented for two schools that accomplish tasks like handling tardy tracking and pass generation, referral submissions, staff sign-in for professional development, and building a user-friendly master schedule. Bring a laptop, a pound of curiosity, and a teaspoon of resilience because you'll try crafting a solution of your own!
