The 4 Disciplines of Execution: Achieving Your Most Important Goals
Sean Covey, FranklinCovey Education President
Administrators face incredible challenges and opportunities in their districts and schools that are often met with well thought-out strategic initiatives. But success requires leaders who can institutionalize goal clarity and a process for execution. Is it possible to align and cascade district goals all the way to principals, teachers and our main players, the students?
Best-selling author Sean Covey will share how the 4 Disciplines of Execution (4DX) has made a significant impact in schools around the world. Covey will present a process for achieving a district’s or school’s top goals in the midst of the daily whirlwind of competing priorities. By utilizing the 4DX alignment and goal setting methodology, learn how you can engage principals, teachers, and most importantly, the students themselves.

Recalibrate the Culture
Jimmy Casas, Speaker
Do you leave work every night exhausted from putting out fires all day long? Are you frustrated because you find yourself dealing with the same issues time and time again? You are not alone.
It is time to recalibrate. Recalibrate our why. Our work. Our values. Ourselves. Educators must explore their inner selves to understand the role we each play in how we can impact the climate and culture of an entire campus when we are strategic and aligned in our practices. The classroom, building, and district levels must see themselves as one and must be intentional in replicating their processes, protocols, and frameworks to recalibrate and bring about system-wide change and cultivate a healthier culture. You will leave this session with a renewed understanding of the importance of effective processes and practical tools you can utilize immediately to cultivate a healthier culture for all members of your school community.

That One Child
Carmen Agra Deedy, Children’s Author
There is nearly always that one child in an educator’s career who is unforgettable. Rarely do we know the end of the story, yet those children leave an imprint as permanent as a handprint on dried clay. Maddening, inspiring or heartbreaking (terms not exclusive of one another), the memory of that “one child”, is often the most piercing reminder of the reason we entered education. With humor, Carmen Deedy is the first to affirm that as an elementary student, she was no prize. Join Ms. Deedy as she shares an encounter with the principal who shaped the trajectory of her school life.
