Refreshment Break Lunch Welcome, Stephen Shafer, District Superintendent, FEH BOCES Leadership is a Choice, not a Position with Gary McGuey, Consultant, The Leader in Me The 4 essential roles of leadership: Even in the most turbulent times, there are four roles leaders play that are highly predictive of success. We call them essential, because as leaders consciously lead themselves and their teams in alignment with these roles, they lay the foundation for effective leadership. Inspire Trust: Be the credible leader others choose to follow-one with both character and competence. Create Vision: Clearly define where your team is going and how they are going to get there. Execute Strategy: Consistently achieve results with and through others using disciplined processes. Coach Potential: Unleash the ability of each person on your team to improve performance, solve problems, and grow their careers. Refreshment Break

School Climate: Leading with Collective Efficacy with Dr. Peter Dewitt School climate is a multi-layered topic. It involves all the complexities of meeting the academic and social-emotional needs of students, as well as how to get the adults in the school to focus on both. In this presentation, Dr. DeWitt will cover topics such as self-efficacy, collective efficacy, surface to deep level learning, trauma, minoritized populations, and how leaders can create a space where all of those issues cannot just be solved, but how the potential of all students can be maximized.

Leverage Technology: Leading in the North Country with Leah McConaughey and Paul Facteau, Apple, Inc. How do we, as education leaders, help our students learn today and prepare them for a rapidly changing world? A driving force behind this change is technology. It affects the way we communicate, the way we work, the way we live day-to-day, and the way we lead. It also empowers every individual—and every learner—to create amazing things and make a difference in the world. But first, we need to raise the bar for what’s expected, and what’s possible, for learning with technology. Join Apple for a discussion about how to leverage technology to make learning and leading more productive in the North Country. College Board Presentation with Matt Zarro The AP Program will launch a new system of resources in 2019-20 to support teachers, students, and coordinators. Based on best practices in schools and created in collaboration with educators from across the country, these resources will include an AP question bank, unit guides and personal progress checks, performance dashboards, and improved tools for exam ordering and administration. Join us to learn about the new resources and how they will be beneficial to students and professionals throughout your schools and districts. During this session, participants will learn: • About the new resources and supports for educators rolling out in the 2019-20 school year • About the training and support the College Board will provide to districts and BOCES leading up to the 2019-20 school year. • An overview of the resources, changes to the AP ordering and registration system, and how these resources will support teaching and learning in districts throughout New York State.
