Thursday May 8, 2025 10:40am - 11:30am PDT
Through arts education, students are provided with opportunities to explore and express their emotions, collaborate with others, and develop essential skills such as empathy, communication, and resilience.

Arts education nurtures emotional well-being and fosters a positive learning environment. Additionally, capacitated adults in our progressive approach and arts education will ensure effective student growth and support. In this session we will explore options to connect with arts practices through creative strategies.

Using Data Dialogues to Promote Accountability, Goal Setting, and Reflection
Thursday May 8, 2025 12:30pm - 1:20pm PDT
Using Data Dialogues to Promote Accountablity, Goal Setting, and Reflection:
Data dialogues, when done immediately after testing windows close, are an essential way for teachers and instructional leadership teams to thoughtfully and strategically reflect on student progress and their instructional practices. During this session, participants will hear from two elementary school principals who have created a systematic approach to putting data at the center in order to build a culture of accountability and promote coherence and collaboration. This session will emphasize the importance of promoting teacher reflection and goal setting with student data to assist with strategically planning for future instruction to accelerate student achievement.
