FALL IN LOVE WITH TEACHING AGAIN:
AN INCLUSIVE MINDSET TO REGAIN JOY IN TEACHING AND LEARNING

Supporting a wide range of learners in our classrooms presents challenges, however, it also offers great opportunities. This session encourages educators to press pause and reimagine challenges in the system at large to better support all students - students with disabilities, English language learners, advanced students, and everyone in between. We will provide a framework to build upon student strengths and redesign instruction in support of more joyful learning. Active engagement strategies are modeled throughout the session to create an upbeat and fun learning atmosphere. This kickoff address sets the tone for a positive school year.
