SUMMARY:Twice-Exceptional Learners 101 (GT Update)
DESCRIPTION:The intersection of high cognitive ability and neurodivergent traits creates a unique presentation that is far more than the sum of its parts. This session explores the profile of the twice-exceptional learner\, commonly referred to as 2e\, and examines how characteristics of ADHD\, dyslexia\, and autism blend with giftedness to produce a singular and often misunderstood academic look. Participants will move beyond simple identification to analyze evidence-based frameworks and markers associated with asynchronous development within a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS). By exploring this dynamic interplay of strengths and challenges\, educators can master the dual-differentiation required at every tier to ensure these complex students receive both the high-level enrichment and the targeted interventions they need to succeed.

SUMMARY:The Starting Lineup: Tier 1 Strategies for Constructed Responses That Score
DESCRIPTION:Every championship team starts with a strong starting lineup — players who are prepared\, coached\, and ready to perform when it matters most. In this session\, educators will discover how to put their best Tier 1 instructional strategies on the field by leveraging Lead4ward's Think Along structure to build confident\, skilled writers in every classroom. The Think Along is more than a reading tool — it is a powerful coaching framework that walks students through the thinking process step by step\, modeling how to read closely\, gather evidence\, and construct a response that scores. Participants will explore how to intentionally integrate the Think Along into daily Tier 1 instruction\, guiding students from first read to finished written response with clarity and purpose. From understanding the prompt to organizing evidence to crafting a well-supported constructed response\, educators will leave with a full starting lineup of ready-to-use moves\, modeled lessons\, and classroom strategies that ensure every student — not just the all-stars — is suited up and ready to compete. This is Tier 1 instruction at its finest — no substitutions needed.

SUMMARY:Teachers Are Just Houseplants… With Anxiety and a Schedule
DESCRIPTION:“Teachers Are Just Houseplants… With Anxiety and a Schedule” is an engaging and practical session designed to support educator well-being through realistic\, sustainable self-care strategies. In a profession where time is limited and demands are constant\, traditional self-care advice often doesn’t fit the reality of a teacher’s schedule. This session reframes self-care through a relatable lens\, acknowledging that teachers need consistent conditions—not occasional breaks—to function at their best.\n \n Participants will explore how factors like schedule constraints\, decision fatigue\, and emotional demands contribute to burnout\, and will learn practical strategies to manage energy throughout the school day. Through real-life examples\, guided reflection\, and actionable planning\, educators will identify small\, manageable shifts that support well-being without adding extra time or unrealistic expectations. Attendees will leave with concrete tools they can implement immediately to create more balance\, protect their energy\, and sustain their effectiveness in the classroom.

DESCRIPTION:This 90-minute workshop reveals how Transactional Analysis explains why the anxious student becomes more dependent on reassurance\, why the avoider shuts down when we offer help\, and why the disrupter escalates when we set limits. You'll learn to identify the ego states driving problematic behaviors and practice Adult-to-Adult interventions that build student capacity instead of reinforcing stuck patterns. This isn't lecture-based theory. Through case study planning and scenario analysis\, you'll develop concrete strategies for your most challenging students—the ones who avoid\, disrupt\, dysregulate\, and catastrophize. Perfect for: Anyone working with middle and high school students who want practical tools that actually shift behavior patterns.

SUMMARY:The Neural Playbook: Understanding the 'Why' Behind Every Student's Move
DESCRIPTION:Why do some students "fumble" their self-control even when they know the rules? In this high-energy\, interactive session\, we will go under the helmet to explore the science of the developing brain. Teachers will gain a clear understanding of how executive function and the pre-frontal cortex impact a student's ability to stay focused and regulated for every play\, every day. What we will learn: The "Science of the Snap": A simplified look at brain development and why self-control is a physiological skill\, not just a choice. Reading the Defense: How to identify "brain-based" triggers before they lead to classroom penalties. The Coaching Mindset: Moving from discipline to "neural coaching" to build long-term regulation. What we will do: The Strategy Huddle: Participants will collaborate to build a "Take-Away Playbook" of 5-minute regulation strategies tailored to their grade level. If possible\, every attendee will create their own "Brain Break Bottle" (calm-down jar) to take back to their classroom as a ready-to-use tool for student co-regulation.

SUMMARY:Blitz the Boredom: Whole Brain Teaching That Keeps Students in the Game
DESCRIPTION:Whole Brain Teaching is an instructional approach that combines direct teaching with movement\, speaking\, listening\, and collaboration to actively engage every part of the learner’s brain. Instead of students sitting passively\, they are constantly interacting through gestures\, partner talk\, call-and-response\, and immediate practice. This keeps attention high\, builds strong classroom routines\, and helps students retain information more effectively. In this session\, participants will learn the core strategies of Whole Brain Teaching\, including how to use attention-getters\, structured partner teaching\, and simple gestures to reinforce learning. They will also explore how to increase student engagement\, improve classroom management\, and create a fast-paced\, positive learning environment where all students are actively involved. By the end\, teachers will leave with practical\, ready-to-use techniques they can implement right away in their classroom

SUMMARY:Book Study Debrief: To Read Stuff You Have to Know Stuff
DESCRIPTION:In this follow-up book study session\, educators will come together to do what the best coaching staffs do after every game — review the footage\, break down the key moments\, and talk about what it all means going forward. Participants will dig into the big ideas and most critical takeaways from To Read Stuff You Have to Know Stuff\, unpacking what the research really says about background knowledge and its powerful connection to reading comprehension. But this session goes beyond the book. Teachers will engage in rich collaborative conversation about what these findings mean for their daily instruction — how they select texts\, build knowledge sequences\, and create classroom environments where every student has the content knowledge they need to read deeply and think critically. This is not a recap — this is a game plan. Walk away with a renewed sense of purpose\, practical instructional implications\, and a clear vision for what it looks like to put knowledge-building at the center of your reading instruction. The film does not lie — and neither does the research.
