Room: Oxford Grit and Growth Mindset Empowers Unstoppable Literacy Fluency Achieve3000 Can you create unstoppable standards mastery and literacy achievement for all students? Yes, you can, by tapping into students' grit and building passionate perseverance. As educators, we have the power to create a classroom culture where struggle and risk-taking is valued more than just getting the right answer. We have the power to nurture a "growth mindset" — the belief that success comes from effort — and not a "fixed mindset" — the notion that people succeed because they are born with a "gift" of intelligence or talent. And, we have the power to support all students in finding academic achievement and fluency success in reaching that 1300 Lexile level no matter the content area, assessment, or outcome expectation. Students need comprehension strategies that allow them to own literacy standards down to a personalized pathway that empowers them to utilize grit and individualized learning. All students deserve differentiated reading and writing process strategies that help them to tap into grit. Join us for an interactive blended learning discussion where easy to apply content strategies that can help all students to deeply comprehend will be discussed.

Todd Stafford, Greenville County Schools

Todd Scholl, CERRA

Scratching the Surface-Using Scratch For Digital Storytelling

Data clearly show that stress is on the rise for students, teachers, and administrators.

That stress is having negative impacts on physical health, mental well-being, morale, and chronic absenteeism. It also contributes to our growing teacher retention problem.

Mindfulness is a free, secular, and effective resource that many are using to address this epidemic of stress. Mindfulness is being employed by Fortune 500 companies, professional athletes, our military, and many school districts across the country. The session covers the basics of mindfulness and includes a summary of the emerging neuroscientific evidence supporting the practice.

Room: Kensington C This format of learning has been spreading across the country and world! Each talk is exactly five minutes long and covers a variety of topics. Presenters share their personal and professional passions, using 24 slides, 20 seconds per slide for a total of 8 minutes.

Room: Hampton Creating, imagining and InnovatingEmpowering Males for Success Eric Brown, Curshina Hilliard, Andrea Gaffney, and Darien Woods, The Orangeburg Leadership Academy In educaton, we often ask ourselves what is it that we can do to tremendously effect change in the lives of male students. The answer to that question is that we must institute a school wide process that empowers them to learn. The Orangeburg Leadership Academy is a school designed to help young males reach their full potential through seven researched based core values that infuse engaging activities and interactive experiences, all with rewarding outcomes in a culture of brotherhood and belonging.

Room: Somerset Emergency Management Kevin Wren, York District Three and Kevin Taylor, Axis Communcations Video surveillance has traditionally been used to verify incidents after the fact. That mindset is rapidly changing as video analytics mature to a point where cameras can proactively alert security professionals who can then intervene in real-time. Having audio as an integrated part of a video surveillance system can be an invaluable addition to a system’s ability to detect and interpret events and emergency situations.

Today, audio can also be used to provide security professionals with the ability to not only listen in on an area, but also communicate orders or requests to visitors or intruders. This session will share real-world examples of how audio combined with video can help react to security situations on campus, while also helping security professionals intervene in real-time. From this session, attendees will: learn how audio can be integrated with video solutions, understand how audio solutions could benefit different parts of their campus, and

recognize opportunities to enhance their current security plan with audio.

Room: Windsor A Lessons Learned and Procedures Improved for Hiring, Monitoring, and Supporting Adult Supports (Shadows) Sara Webber, Lexington-Richland District Five This session provides insight into the lessons learned while improving the procedures for hiring, monitoring, and supporting adult support personnel (shadows).

Room: Lands End, Brighton Building Educating the Whole Child: Leader in Me-Where Social Emotional Learning Leads to Breakthrough Achievement Sherry Cariens, Oak Grove Elementary School; Jeaneen Tucker, Round Top Elementary School; and Chad Smith, FranklinCovey Education Practice Student Learning Objectives (SLOs) are a student-centered method of collecting data through standards-based goals.

These goals measure an educator’s impact on student learning growth within an interval of instruction. The information can be used to promote teacher collaboration, and assist staff in making data-informed academic decisions about students.

The Four Disciplines form a tested, sequential process that helps individuals and teams achieve their Wildly Important Goals. Within the process are principles and tools for decision making, problem solving, critical thinking, and effectiveness. A presentation will reveal how the alignment of these two methods can foster a culture of getting the most important things accomplished in a school through evidence and accountability.

Room: Windsor A Retaining Special Education Teachers - What the Research Says and How to Make it Happen Ann Marie Taylor, Edgefield County Schools Retaining effective teachers is a challenge in every classroom, but nowhere more than in special education classrooms. Leaders in educational research, like the Alliance for Excellent Education, state that there is agreement that the most important factor in determining student success is the quality of his or her classroom teacher (Alliance for Excellent Education, 2005).

This is especially true in special education classrooms, where teachers are critical to the success of students with special needs.

To meet the unique needs, special education teachers require specialized skills and training; knowledge how to implement evidence-based strategies for unique learners; the ability to work with other teachers, service providers, and families; and the ability to comply with federal mandates, all to ensure their students are able to thrive and make adequate progress towards their academic and/or behavioral goals (Billingsley, 2005).

Unfortunately, students with disabilities are at risk because school districts are not able recruit or retain quality special education teachers. In this session, we will discuss the research on special education retention and you will learn how one rural SC district is making a difference in special education teacher retention.

Especially when the data shows how diverse the learning needs are in the classroom. How administrators and teachers use data to conference and motivate students to take ownership of their learning to improve outcomes? Join our session to leave with actionable ways to: Monitor: What should you track to make sure students are reaching their goals? Conference: Provide feedback that helps your students understand their strengths and weaknesses and identify specific areas for improvement? Motivate: Use data analysis to identify factors that may

Room: Eton Random Drug Testing for Student Athletes and Student Drivers Matt Warren and Matt Lexington District One

McCormack,

During the 2014-2015 school year Lexington County School District One implemented a random drug testing program for middle and high school athletes and expanded it to include student drivers during the 2015-2016 school year. Lexington County School District One cares about drug abuse and the physical well-being of its students, including those covered in the drug testing policy. This program’s primary objectives are to deter drug use among students participating in school-sponsored interscholastic athletic competitions and/or students who drive and park on campus. Also, Lexington County School District One aims to assist these covered students in receiving education and counseling about drug abuse. While the misuse of drugs is a potential problem for all students, unique pressures and risks exist for students participating in athletics and students who drive and park on campus. This policy is designed to help protect covered students and others with whom they compete from potential injury because of the misuse of drugs. We look forward to sharing our experiences and lessons learned from the random drug testing program and know you will find benefit from the presentation.

increase math and English proficiency by 25%, reduce chronic absenteeism by 75%, reduce disciplinary referrals by 50%, and decrease out-of-school suspension by 50%.

OnTrack teams are school-based, and are composed of administrators, school psychologists, guidance counselors, social workers, mental health counselors, teachers, and intervention specialists. Early warning data, based on attendance, behavior, and course performance, identifies students who are beginning to disengage from school.

Evidenced-based decisions evolve through root-cause analysis, looking at factors such as academics, attendance, social-emotional concerns, mental health, medical treatment, family environment, school environment, and second-language acquisition. The OnTrack process uses a multi-tiered system of supports at its foundation, while incorporating, Response To Intervention, progress monitoring, psychological evaluations, and special education identification, to name a few.

All interventions and services are recorded, managed, monitored, and flow through a district-developed tool known as the Intervention Connection. OnTrack is about providing the right intervention, to the right child, at the right time. As a result, in SY2017 one middle school realized an 18% reduction in the number of chronically absent students, 38% reduction in the number of behavioral referrals, 33% reduction in the number of referrals with out-of-school suspension (OSS), and 34% reduction in the number of days in OSS. Participants in this session will learn about: creating OnTrack problemsolving teams, defining the roles and responsibilities of team members, prioritizing student focus lists, collecting and analyzing evidence, conducting root cause analysis, managing interventions, and progress monitoring.

Greenville County School District has implemented a philosophy and process for providing whole-child interventions and wrap-around services to students at-risk, keeping students on-track to graduate.

OnTrack is a collaborative, problem-solving team model and process with the goal to

County

While principals are expected to lead their schools; many have assumed the role of serving as life coaches and miracle workers.

In the midst of handling one matter after another, principals can easily forget to take care of themselves. In the midst of their passion for helping staff, parents and students, many fall by the wayside by doing too much, carrying too much; many take on the burden of making sure that everyone in the school is happy and healthy, except themselves! Unfortunately, when good principals get burned out, they are the last to discover it, poor decisions have gone unrealized and negative consequences are inevitable. This session will provide aspiring, new and veteran principals with a winning prescription that will result in their long-term professional health and personal well-being.

Room: Palladium A, Brighton Building A Tale of Two Cities: Building a Culture of Excellence for All Students Josh Patterson and Loretta Holmes, Sterling School Is your school a school of contrast or unity?

Are distinct student groups appropriately recognized? Do students feel a sense of belonging? What qualitative factors are reflected in your school’s achievement data?

Do students experience success? The answer to all of these questions speaks directly to your school’s culture. Culture controls behavior and impacts student achievement. During this session you will learn how one school with two distinct populations is working to build a community that nurtures the best of each group. Our challenge has been on building one learning community that supports extremely different needs. We have learned, building a school’s culture goes beyond academic strategies.

Seymour Sarason claims, “If you attempt to implement reforms but fail to engage the culture of a school, nothing will change.”

Building a total environment to support the social and emotional needs of all students requires creative problem solving and unconventional solutions. In this session we will share strategies that have supported our efforts to build a culture of excellence.
