Participants will explore how to intentionally plan for oracy, use dictado and implement The Bridge to support meaningful cross-linguistic connections. The focus is on helping students deepen their understanding of target languages by making language features visible and transferable. Teachers will leave with clear, actionable strategies to strengthen biliteracy and elevate language learning in their classrooms.
This two-hour feature presentation is designed for Advisor Leads, and all are welcome.
In this session, we will explore the practices, mindsets, and nervous system states that shape our feelings and behaviors—whether they promote ease and safety or dysregulation in environments that lack perceived safety. Since emotions and stress are contagious, adults who become aware of their nervous system states can learn practices to calm, regulate, and resource themselves. These practices reduce power struggles and conflict, while opening space for curiosity, reflection, and new strategies within challenging environments and relationships.
Our partners at Amplify will provide an initial training session for our new 6th-grade ELA resource.

Advisor Leads will come together for this leadership launch into the 2026-27 school year. Our focus will be on how to bring this year’s training from Dr. Lori back to your buildings. We will also share how to optimize intentional touch points and connections with the students who need us most.
This session is designed for dual language leaders, coaches, PLC leaderss, and curriculum specialists to deepen their practice in backward planning with a clear focus on biliteracy and student language output. Participants will examine current biliteracy planning templates and engage in hands-on work to backward plan an upcoming unit, centering language development alongside content goals. The session emphasizes “big picture” planning that prioritizes meaningful, comprehensible student output in both languages. Attendees will also explore how to effectively support and lead PLCs in implementing this planning process within their buildings, ensuring alignment to the core goals of dual language programming.
In this session, we will share practices grounded in nervous system awareness and neuroplasticity to address conflict cycles, reduce power struggles, and reduce challenging behaviors in the classroom.
What would it feel like to walk into a school where students feel seen, supported, and hopeful about their future—and where educators feel connected to their purpose and energized by the impact they can have each day? This interactive in-person session will help school teams explore how 7 Mindsets and wellness resources can strengthen belonging, resilience, student engagement, and school culture. Participants will receive a practical overview of the 7 Mindsets, see what resources high schools currently have access to, learn how to navigate the platform, and explore simple ways to use the curriculum and wellness supports within the realities of a school schedule. While high schools currently have access to the full resources, leaders and staff from other building levels are welcome to attend to learn how the common language of the 7 Mindsets can support culture, climate, relationships, and student success across the district. Participants will leave with practical ideas for helping students build the mindsets, life skills, and confidence they need for success in school and beyond.
