Pre-Conference Sessions
We’ve created five exciting half-day sessions on Sunday, June 23, designed to offer teams of leaders and teachers targeted support for transformation in key areas of need. Plus, pre-cons are a great primer for the MSC main event, offering helpful context and focus for the days of professional learning ahead, for $395 per attendee.

Culture, Compassion, and Competence: Leading the Unpredictable
Principals, Assistant Principals and teacher leaders regularly face a wide variety of unpredictable challenges such as transient populations, teacher shortages, the influence of AI, and many other obstacles. Tackling these head-on challenges require a strong culture, compassionate leaders, and competency instructional change agents. When a school/district culture is purposeful, productive, and joyous, learning prospers, and each student receives what they need to succeed in life. Join this preconference to re-energize your skills with strategies for positive change, regardless of the barriers that currently exist.

Focusing on Instruction
Are your students engaged in learning? Regularly? Let's explore how to engross the variety of minds sitting before you on a given day. How you engage students on a Monday morning compared to a Thursday afternoon may look much different (and require much more caffeine). In this interactive preconference, you will take a deep dive into engagement strategies in order to lay the foundation for rigorous and relevant instruction. Join this immersive experience where engagement and instructional strategies will be modeled.
