From Curiosity to Confidence: A huddle on how to lead through the ambiguity of the AI era
AI, devices, and social media are reshaping what happens in classrooms — and school leaders are on the front lines of figuring out what to do about it. Students are using tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini for schoolwork. Built-in features like iOS's AI-powered Math Notes and Chromebook Plus's Help Me Write are already in students' hands. And educators across your building are making judgment calls every day without a shared framework to guide them.
This session is for school leaders and administrators who want to move from reactive to proactive when it comes to technology in their schools. Join Lisa Portland with The Social Institute as we break down the latest AI, device, and social media trends shaping student behavior — and what they mean for school culture, policy, and staff support.

Unlocking Human Potential: The Power of Story to Build Resilience, Character, Trust and Transparency
This experience, led by Rebecca Francis and Devon LaRosa, is designed for educators and educational leaders who seek to deepen their impact by leading with authenticity, empathy, and intentionality. At its core, "Unlocking Human Potential" recognizes that storytelling is one of the most powerful tools we possess to humanize education and re-center connection in a system that too often prioritizes compliance over compassion.
Through storytelling, we move beyond transactional interactions and into transformational relationships. Stories invite us to name our struggles, celebrate our resilience, and embrace the complex, beautiful work of becoming. When educators and leaders share stories—of growth, challenge, identity, and change—we open the door for:
Resilience to take root in our school cultures,
Character to be modeled and nurtured in real, human ways,
Trust to be built authentically, not assumed,
And transparency to become a cultural norm, not an exception.
This session offers more than theory—it offers space. Space to reflect, to tell truth, to listen deeply, and to grow. It is an invitation to recognize the stories we carry and the stories our students and colleagues carry, and to use those narratives as bridges—toward belonging, equity, and possibility.
Because when we share our stories, we don’t just build community—we unlock human potential.
