Prioritizing Growth: Your students' and your own

Wednesday July 29, 2026 10:30am - 12:00pm CDT

Computer Sciences and Statistics: Room 1263

Growth motivates better than compliance. We will look at how to use standards to: assess growth, involve students in their own progress monitoring, use formative assessments to drive instruction, engage planning teams in student-centered planning, and use coaching supports to continuously improve practice.

In this session, you will:

Be an advocate on veteran teams for student-centered planning.

Understand the importance of being a reflective practitioner.
