Conference Theme: The Middle Matters!
As we received session proposals, and as events happened, a theme emerged: the middle school years are crucial to social emotional development in our students, and needed supports are encompassing an ever-wider range. To that end, among a wide variety of topics, we have sessions on trauma-informed schools, restorative practices, MTSS, RtB, and dealing with challenging behaviors. One of our presenters, Amber Schroering, suggests this article that relates to Brownsburg's experiences, and our board member Kristy Stephens shared this article, "When Students are Traumatized, Teachers Are Too." We think our conference is a great opportunity for classroom teachers and administrators to learn from each other; there is a special kind of energy when hundreds of middle level educators get together!
