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.

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.

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.
