SUMMARY:Systems to Screening to Action: Early Identification Systems To Prevent Escalation
DESCRIPTION:Session Description: Schools are increasingly expected to identify student needs early\, yet many districts lack coherent systems to ensure universal screening leads to action. This session will focus on how Educational Service Districts support districts in building early identification systems within Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) and Integrated Student Supports (ISS) frameworks. Participants will explore foundational conditions needed before screening\, including team structures\, system alignment\, and readiness for data use. The session will also address effective screening implementation and the development of clear data protocols that translate results into actionable information. Emphasis will be placed on using screening data to guide timely\, tiered supports and prevent escalation of student needs.

SUMMARY:Changing the Future: Breaking Barriers at Othello High School
DESCRIPTION:At a large comprehensive high school\, students can too easily become invisible. This session shares how Othello High School is focusing on key goals through a coordinated team approach that addresses attendance\, discipline\, and academics as interconnected systems. By breaking down traditional barriers and creating structures to know where every student is\, every day\, staff are building a more responsive\, relational\, and student-centered school culture. As learner-practitioners\, we offer this session not as a finished answer\, but as an invitation to reflect\, learn\, and prompt new thinking across our region about how systemic approaches can move schools from reacting to student needs to proactively changing outcomes—and changing the future.&nbsp\;

SUMMARY:Rural Schools; Real Results
DESCRIPTION:Rural districts often face problems so urgent and visible that the real problem hides behind them. This session follows one small district through severe financial and instructional strain\, including a $1.7 million shortfall\, deep staffing cuts\, and a 64% attendance rate. Early efforts pushed hard on teaching and learning\, but progress stalled until the team recognized what was missing underneath: no assessment structure\, no shared roadmap\, and no common language for leadership. Using the School Leader Paradigm as a lens\, the district shifted to individual coaching\, rebuilt Instructional Leadership Team meetings and walkthrough practices\, and treated culture as the foundation rather than the byproduct. Early ELA gains followed. Structured partner conversations invite participants to examine the systems in their own settings and consider whether the problem they are solving so well is actually the problem they have.

SUMMARY:The System Before the Student: Building Schools That Support Everyone
DESCRIPTION:When students struggle behaviorally\, socially\, or emotionally\, schools often focus on changing the student\, changing the placement\, or searching for the next intervention. Yet lasting change happens when leaders build systems that support both students and staff before intensive interventions are needed. This session explores how building and district leaders can create effective tiered systems of support that strengthen staff capacity\, promote belonging\, and improve outcomes for all learners.\nParticipants will examine the connections between behavior\, trauma-informed practices\, social-emotional learning\, inclusion\, and special education through a systems-focused lens. Through practical reflection and planning\, leaders will identify ways to strengthen Tier 1 and Tier 2 supports\, improve individualized decision-making\, and create sustainable structures that support both students and adults. Attendees will leave with actionable tools to assess their current systems and develop next steps for improvement. The guiding philosophy is simple: aim for excellence\, and compliance is thrown in for free.

SUMMARY:Beyond Compliance: Leadership Lessons in Hope
DESCRIPTION:Special education leadership is becoming increasingly complex. Legal requirements\, staffing shortages\, student needs\, and system pressures can leave leaders feeling overwhelmed. While compliance remains essential\, it cannot be the ultimate goal.\n\nDrawing from 36 years of experience in special education\, this session explores how leaders can move beyond survival toward building systems that support students\, staff\, and themselves. Participants will reflect on the realities of leadership today\, reconnect with the purpose of the work\, and leave with practical tools for sustaining excellence and hope in challenging systems
