Passionate principals help guide teachers through regulations and shield them from distractions in their work of impacting students’ lives. This session helps principals find ways to walk their teachers through the SLO process, while making it meaningful and not just a hoop to jump through. Principals will learn how to create a strategy for using literacy across the curriculum as the initial SLO to implement that allows teachers to work on the same thing together, while still allowing for individual teachers to excel in their own right.
Passionate principals work hard to change the status quo in our schools. Our presentation will help principals see how to make change in a difficult environment with many obstacles present.

Principals will also learn about the Pickr app, which allows students to pick their own tutorials and make ad-hoc groups in a quick and efficient manner.
