SUMMARY:Just Enough Systems Thinking to Be Dangerous
DESCRIPTION:When I heard the quote on the Strategic Action Agenda — “You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems” — my first thought was “that would make a great tattoo.” My second was that it would be a great session. My goal is to give you just enough systems thinking to be dangerous. We'll explore feedback loops\, leverage points\, and the structures quietly running our schools — without disappearing into the theoretical weeds. We'll also dig into practical tools. Because understanding your system is only half the battle. The other half is knowing where to push.

SUMMARY:Just Enough Systems Thinking to Be Dangerous
DESCRIPTION:When I heard the quote on the Strategic Action Agenda — “You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems” — my first thought was “that would make a great tattoo.” My second was that it would be a great session. My goal is to give you just enough systems thinking to be dangerous. We'll explore feedback loops\, leverage points\, and the structures quietly running our schools — without disappearing into the theoretical weeds. We'll also dig into practical tools. Because understanding your system is only half the battle. The other half is knowing where to push.

DESCRIPTION:This session explores how educators can intentionally build students’ courage to learn by creating classroom conditions that support academic risk-taking. Participants will examine strategies such as building relational trust\, designing appropriately challenging tasks\, and providing incremental success criteria so students experience frequent success. Using the TIRES framework (Tasks\, Input\, Responses\, Evidence\, Success)\, educators will learn how to structure lessons that increase student participation\, confidence\, and resilience. Examples from elementary literacy and content classrooms will demonstrate how these practices help develop engaged\, future-ready learners who feel empowered to take risks and persist in learning.

SUMMARY:The Foundations of Visible Learning: Learning Intentions
DESCRIPTION:This session takes on one of the most common misconceptions: that posting a learning target is the same as establishing a learning intention. It builds the case that a learning intention is not the setup for a task but a lens students carry through the entire learning experience and that when teachers genuinely work from one it changes how they plan\, how they respond to students mid-lesson\, and how they close a lesson. Leaders will leave with a clear framework for distinguishing strong learning intentions from task descriptions and tools that they can use immediately.
