Leaders know that hiring and retaining high-quality teachers is extremely important. Leaders also know that the demands on an early-to-career teacher can make this an especially difficult endeavor. Equally challenging can be establishing the right mindset, priorities, expectations, and support to develop effective, committed, and confident teachers. So how do we become the leaders our new teachers want and need?
New teachers have specific needs. They also bring much-needed energy, enthusiasm, and fresh ideas to the campus and classroom. An intentional and supportive leader can make the difference between success and frustration for early-to-career teachers. During this class, we’ll explore what new teachers need from an effective leader and how to prioritize support for two essential goals for new teachers, making the first years on your campus the first of many successful years to come!

If the 2023 A-F refresh taught us anything, it’s that preparation pays off!
As we finish the final year of A-F 2.0 (2026-27) and look ahead to 2027-28, with a new assessment (SST) and a refreshed accountability system (A-F 3.0), now is the time to build our leadership teams’ capacity to confidently support teachers and students.
This pre-conference session gives district and campus leaders up-to-the-minute assessment and accountability information to support 2027 A-F ratings and plan for the 2028 refresh.
What’s on the agenda?
- 2027 system and actionable insights: Strengthening our understanding of 2027 assessment and accountability with a focus on growth.
- Deciphering the refresh: What’s changing for 2028, and what isn’t.
- The “unknowns”: Tackling SST transitions and HB 8 mandates head-on.
Kick off think! with clarity, collaboration, and capacity building focused on where we are and where we’re going. Let’s grow wild!
