Creating a Positive School Climate
I have served as a teacher, coach, athletic director, teacher association president, department head, assistant principal, high school principal, and district superintendent. While in these positions, I have maintained that a positive school climate is of utmost importance in the school improvement process. When challenging people to change and improve, the climate in which change occurs is vital to the success of the endeavor. In my presentation, we will discuss the four components that affect a positive school climate. The presentation is geared towards secondary schools, but it is applicable K-12. The belief in these four components has enabled Northview High School in Grand Rapids to receive the National Blue Ribbon Exemplary School Award while Douglas Elementary School in Saugatuck and Lakewood High School in Lake Odessa also receive the State of Michigan Blue Ribbon Exemplary School Award during my tenure as an administrator with these three school districts.

Tying Together Curriculum and Technology
Being engaged in the classroom is one of the keys to deep learning. Come spend some time to focus on how and why we use technology to enhance delivery and assessment of curriculum. The session will discuss the paradigm shift teachers and districts are making when choosing technology tools to assist in the delivery of content and will also explore how Mobi's and eInstruction Classroom Response Systems can be used to help with classroom management and delivery of curriculum. See examples of how using these tools can help teachers to actively engage all students in classrooms with ever increasing numbers, check student understanding throughout a lesson, provide on-going real-time feedback during lessons, differentiate instruction based on student understanding, and efficiently assess and record student knowledge. See examples of how teachers can use these tools to make learning visible and take learning to a deeper level using quality questioning strategies during instruction.
