8:30          Registration and Continental Breakfast 
9:00          Leading Under the Influence with Dr. Victoria Lentfer, UNO
What’s the key to keeping people in education? Relationships. And what drives people away? Behavior. If you’re tired of the same old story, it’s time to change the narrative and create the perfect learning environment. You can do it! This workshop is not a lecture, but an interactive experience. We’ll delve deep into ourselves, learning how to lead by influence, not force. So, bring your paper and pen, and be prepared to share your thoughts. Because when you lead from within, you’ll never lead without. Sound complicated? It won’t be by the end of this workshop.  I’m eager to embark on this learning journey with you. Your participation is invaluable, and I cannot wait to see the insights you’ll bring to the table!

Mental Health- our emotional and social wellbeing- allows us to cope with stress, work productively, to thrive in life. However, at times our mental health can experience challenges. Mental Health Essentials is an opportunity to discuss the importance of language, level-set our understanding of terms related to mental health, and identify listening and engagement strategies be more effective in the support of and connection with individuals experiencing mental health challenges. Additionally, this session will include discussion of different types of stress and mechanisms to promote thriving; personally and professionally.

3:00          Because Educators Need More than a Jeans Day with Andrew Easton, ESUCC
With educator burnout at an all-time high, schools must support their staff with more than the appreciated yet arbitrary jeans days and extra classroom time. Together, in this session, we will explore practical strategies for both individual and building-wide (systemic) implementation of wellness routines that support the mental health of educators.
