Leadership EDIT 2025

Participants will develop a deep understanding of trauma-informed leadership principles and their application in creating equitable, safe, and supportive learning environments. By the end of the session, participants will be able to identify key components of a trauma-sensitive school culture, utilize data-driven strategies to design targeted interventions, and implement professional development initiatives that empower educators to respond effectively to the needs of trauma-impacted students. Leaders will also learn how to build community partnerships and systems of support to address barriers to learning, fostering resilience and academic success. Additionally, attendees will leave equipped with actionable strategies to promote culturally responsive practices and sustainable, systems-level change that ensures all students, regardless of their background or experiences, can thrive in a nurturing and inclusive school environment.

Exploring and achieving equity in education is a vital and current topic. It requires more than just awareness; it demands intentional action from leaders. In this interactive session, we delve into the practical aspects of fostering equity within your educational environment. We'll utilize the innovative Equity Framework, pioneered by educators from Chicago Public Schools, as a tool to confront and address specific equity challenges unique to your institution. This workshop is not just about theory; it's about action. You'll leave with a tailor-made action plan, imbued with a sense of purpose, ready to be shared and implemented within your school community. Plus, you'll gain access to an array of practical resources to kickstart this critical journey towards lasting change in the realm of educational equity.
