n Engaging Collegial Learning Communities to Achieve Optimal Performance

What if your school was the one place that teachers couldnt wait to get to each morning and hated to leave each night? Principals understand simply assigning teachers to a team with a task doesnt mean they will work together effectively or successfully. Learn how
As leaders work to transform schools to meet the needs of their children, they can encounter negativity and resistance that slows or stalls progress. The typical response is to get tough or clean house. Learn strategies that go beyond these responses to work with difficult and resistant people and to implement needed changes. The session focuses on ideas and techniques that can be immediately implemented successfully. Attendees will develop a plan to address the resistance that can be used back at their schools.

n A New Era for Accountability, Leadership, Teaching, and Learning
This workshop engages participants in working to break through communication barriers that interfere with school improvement. This is a process that allows principals to engage teachers and others in conversations guided by deep listening, respect for others opinions, and selfreflection. It inspires school participants to think and work beyond accountability rules toward the beliefs and responsibility that brought them into teaching. This work will enable principals to challenge teachers, parents, central office, and themselves to improve, but gets to the deep obstacles educators face.
SPEAKER: Eric Glover, East Tennessee State University, Johnson City, TN
n Under-Reporting Bullying in Your School: How (and Why) to Collect the Most Accurate Data
n Socratic Seminaring: Putting the Learning in Professional Learning Communities

The US Department of Education informs that 28% of students, age 12-18, report being bullied at school. States with laws requiring data on bullying incidents increasingly presume schools to be under-reporting when occurrences submitted are grossly below 28 percent. An assumption is schools are reluctant to tarnish their images with high percentages during this time of educational scrutiny. The reality, however, is much more complex. Learn the major causes of underreporting and how you can improve your schools accuracy in identifying and reporting bullying.
SPEAKERS: Jane Balvanz, Kate Wickham Elementary School, Coralville, IA; Blair Wagner, GAPRA, Coralville, IA
There is a solution for accountability that uses innovation borne out of flexibility even in the midst of financial constraints. Specifically, we have an opportunity to take our schools from test prep centers to meeting the critical needs of the 21st Century. We can develop practical assessments that will engage students, reduce failure and the enormous costs associated with failure, and improve our focus on creativity, collaboration, communication, and critical thinking. &
SPEAKER: Douglas Reeves, The Leadership and Learning Center, Boston, MA
Building a successful Professional Learning Community requires the recognition that adults in the school community are a powerful and necessary part of the learning equation. The ability to capacity-build is indispensable in formulating shared goals, encouraging continuous improvement, and strengthening collaborative skills. In this highly-interactive workshop, participants will be introduced to and participate in Socratic seminaring, a strategy designed to encourage commitment to the learning process; participants will experience how this method can be used to promote learning for everyone.

n Connect, Create, Transform: Using Technology to Enhance Professional Learning

n C7 - Logically Step Your Way into Accountability, Achieving Whole School Results!
No longer can a principal be a digital immigrant. Due to the shifting needs of learners and staff in the 21st century, every principal needs to understand and model appropriate use of technology.

n Lets Move in School: Increasing Physical Activity Before, During, and After School
Changing demographics, community unrest, and staff motivated to close the achievement gap led one elementary school to reinvent itself. Learn how reform initiatives boosted achievement for all students, prepared students to live and work in a global community, and created a vision in our learning community about the opportunities this elementary school could offer. By developing a unified belief system, inquiry strategies, language acquisition skills, and a school-wide approach to literacy see how one school with diminishing enrollment became a school of choice.
SPEAKER: Gayle Jones Westerberg, Summit School District, Dillon, CO
n Exploring Student Ownership, Self-Efficacy, and Responsibility Through Student-Led Conferences

n Developing School Leaders to Implement NAESPs Standards for What Principals Should Know/Be Able to Do
After decades of parent-teacher conferences, educators began to question the value of the traditional conference as the only means of school-home connection. Student-led conferences have emerged as an effective process to activate student engagement (Dunn, 2001). During student-led conferences, they discuss work with their parents while teachers assist in the process. This encourages students to take ownership and accountability for their work. Given the opportunity, students can discuss their learning and their growth competently with others (Hayden, 1998).
SPEAKER: Charisse Gay, Rockdale County Public Schools, Conyers, GA
Lets Move in School (LMIS) is a national initiative to help schools provide a comprehensive school physical activity program which includes physical education, physical activity during school, physical activity before and after school, staff involvement, and family and community involvement. NAESP is a strategic partner in LMIS. In this session, you will learn how to involve your school and use LMIS tools and resources including the Principals Toolkit. Come hear about and share success stories from the field and ask questions.

SPEAKER: Frank Buck, Frank Buck Consulting, Inc., Pell City, AL
In 2011, the Presidents Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, an advisory committee to the White House, issued a landmark federal report, Reinvesting in Arts Education: Winning Americas Future Through Creative Schools. This report was the first of its kind in over a decade, providing a comprehensive survey of research and effective practices in the field, with strategic recommendations for policymakers, funders, and educators.

n Why Do I Feel Like the Lint Trap for Discipline Issues?

2:45 4:15 p.m. CLOSING KEYNOTE SESSION

n Lighting Their Fires
Current reforms in teacher evaluation seriously oversimplify or ignore the opportunities, needs, techniques, and problems actually faced by administrators who are pressed to be the center of change. The experience and methods presented in this session come from 80 years of professional trial and error, payoffs of research studies, expanded thinking, and teacher perspectives. They will stretch participants views and skills about imminent reform. Small groups will generate interactive questions and solutions. &
SPEAKER: Kenneth Peterson, Portland State University, Tualatin, OR
As administrators, we know that classroom management is the critical foundation on which all teaching and learning is built. Unfortunately, many teachers are simply not prepared to deal with todays students who come to school un-socialized and unprepared to learn. This session is about research-based, proven classroom management strategies that are practical, powerful, and positive. No more struggling under the weight of referrals, parent complaints, frustrated teachers, teachers with short fuses, or feeling like your best performers are headed for burnout!

n Teacher Leader Model Standards

n Catching Up or Leading the Way: American Education in the Age of Globalization
In May of 2008, a group of concerned educators convened to examine the current research and thinking about the critical leadership roles that teachers play in contributing to student and school success. This group expanded its membership and mission to form the Teacher Leadership Consortium and, over a two-year period, developed model standards for teacher leadership. Those standards will be presented by a former State Department of Education Director, a former County Teacher of the Year, and a current teacher leader.

SPEAKER: Brian Perkins, Columbia University Teachers College, New York, NY
Based on his own experience as a student in China and as a parent of children attending school in the United States, Zhao skewers conventional wisdom while setting straight the recent history and current state of U.S. schools. He describes how schools have to keep pace with a world that is being dramatically transformed by globalization, the death of distance, and digital technology. Instead of falling in line with mandates for standardization, his prescription is for educators to expand the definition of success beyond math and reading test scores, to personalize schooling so that every student has opportunity to learn, and to view schools as enterprises that embrace globalization and digital technology. &

Whether you are giving back to the profession as an experienced principal or leading school district initiatives to support new administrators, participation in the NAESP Mentor Certification Program provides you with the core training necessary to ensure the conditions are present for a novice principals success. NAESPs commitment to our future leaders through support, engagement, critical conversations, and networking is essential as our profession serves the future leaders who will make the changes needed in schools across the country. In fact, principals have traditionally been thrown into their jobs without a life jacket and expected to sink or swim. Having someone help anticipate challenges and discuss solutions before they become critical issues benefits the new leader, as well as the school district, and the mentor. Join the NAESP mentor community of high-quality professionals assuming the responsibility for the success of school leaders.

No one loves to form partnerships with educators more than Horace Mann. Its why so many school districts welcome our agents into their buildings and why so many teachers take advantage of our insurance and retirement planning expertise. A new partnership with DonorsChoose.org helps donors find teachers who need financial assistance for classroom projects big and small. Teachers post their projects, donors choose projects to support, and teachers and kids benefit with materials delivered right to their schools. Now thats a partnership that can help everyone.
Horace Mann finds another way to partner with you
