Navigating any significant change effectively requires responsive leadership. Reform that is sustainable over time calls on school leaders to understand how to apply the brain research to the adult learner and utilize lessons from the research on emotion and experience. This conference will assist administrators in creating
the context for sustainable reform.

Dr. Robert Sylwester tells us that “Cognitive neuroscience developments are rapidly moving education toward a major transformatoin in policy and practice.” The Leadership Conference specifically addresses what a principal, administrator, and others in leadership roles must understand to best support teachers
on their ITI journey. You will work with tools designed to help you reflect on your own experiences as you engage in dialog with other committed educators. Networking opportunities will be provided.

Content Focus:
• Increasing student achievement through the development and use of
brain-compatible strategies
• What does it mean to create a bodybrain-compatible school or district?
• The ITI Model and No Child Left Behind
• The connection between state standards and conceptual curriculum
• Systemic change
• Community involvement
• Differentiated ITI support
• Long range ITI planning
• Developing powerful school networks
