Differentiated Leadership—Leading the Whole School!
Randy Thompson
Leading change in schools has been compared to herding cats, or trying to nail Jell-O to a tree! Regardless of your leadership position, attendees will leave this session with practical strategies to identify the dynamic systems in your school, get everyone invested in the process, implement an easy-to-use model of change, establish PRs (personal responsibilities) for everyone in the building, and much more. All strategies will be ready for immediate use on Monday morning.

Tiering Assignments
Rick Wormeli
Some students are ready for the first steps of a topic, and others are ready for advanced assignments in that topic. So, how do we tier assignments to maximize learning at all levels? Join us as we look at how to increase and decrease complexity of assignments while meeting objectives, all within one class period. We will provide specific tiered assignments as well as the skills needed for tiering assignments and assessments on your own.
