Teacher leadership is evident in the most successful schools, but what can I do as a leader to build capacity in those engaged fully in the classroom? The pathway for building leadership capacity in teachers is as varied as the teachers themselves. One workshop or simply assigning a mentor does not guarantee success. Cultivating leadership skills in teachers takes a keen understanding of where the teacher wants to go, the strengths and areas for growth the teacher possesses, how he or she views those characteristics and the realities of leadership. This session will focus on identifying leadership potential in teachers by asking the right questions, providing specifically targeted experiences, providing guided feedback, collaboratively assessing impact, and determining next steps in the leadership journey. This live session will be recorded and shared with all registrants afterward. $50

/28/2026 ~PD Pop: Rethinking Comprehension: Role of Knowledge, Thinking, and Language (K-8) - Presented by Hugh Catts In many classrooms, comprehension is treated as a component of reading that involves a set of generalizable skills that can be directly assessed and instructed. This approach, largely an artifact of educational practice, is inconsistent with what science tells us about comprehension. It is a multidimensional cognitive process that involves the integration of background knowledge, language processing, thinking, and metacognitive control. Though complex, we can teach students to better comprehend texts, and more importantly, enjoy and/or learn from them. This presentation highlights a model that will assist in this process. This live session will be recorded and shared with all registrants afterward. NOTE: This session is from 10:00-11:00 ET. $50

PD Pop: Calling Collapse: Chart the Course Back to Purpose (K-12) - Presented by Jen Spencer School counselors carry a caseload that never really ends. Over time, this can wear down even the most dedicated counselor, but what looks like burnout is often something deeper.
