Student Centeredness
Student-centeredness is a key principle for effective school leadership. School principals should foster a learning environment that meets the diverse needs of all students, both academically and personally. Student-centered principals should communicate high expectations for student achievement and behavior, while also providing support and guidance to help students reach their goals. They should also promote a culture of mutual respect among staff and students, where everyone feels valued and appreciated.
Student Centeredness is a dimension in the Culture Domain under the School Leader Paradigm.

Conflict Resolution: A crucial professional competency in education today
Based on the work of mediation experts, experts in negotiation, and experts in conflict resolution, the techniques presented here are time-tested, simple, and familiar. Takeaways will include a teacher-friendly hand-out (easily printable for quick reference) in a table format. This table lists each clinically tested technique used by experts in the mediation field to de-escalate conflicts. In addition, alongside each technique are language samples to use as models when struggling to find the right words to use when emotions are running high combined with “do’s” vs.“don'ts” that can help or hurt the outcomes. Taken from 30 years of experience in education, high stakes decision making, IEP meetings, and policy discussions, Gwen draws from her background working with parents and educators to give relevant examples of the complex emotions we feel when stakes are high, perceptions and beliefs differ and difficult decisions must be made.

Creating an Inclusive and Diverse Space with Classroom Media Content
The presentation begins with data showing the strong impact of visuals on children’s perceptions and behaviors. All visuals a child is exposed to send a message to the child so classroom visuals should be chosen with intentionality. Further, classroom visuals should be seen as an opportunity to build inclusion and identity with students. The presentation then reviews best practices for the types of visuals teachers should include in their classrooms taking into account differences in factors such as race, ethnicity, gender, religion, body type, and abilities. The presentation ends with resources for teachers to increase diverse representation in their classroom content, as well as a personal call to action to 1) continuously increase their exposure to different types of people, and 2) keep an open mind to recognize and address their own biases.
