David Hay teaches high school computing science, robotics, IT, digital media, and math in Sherwood Park. He is also a contributor to the Callysto and Data Dunkers projects.
It is not unusual for schools to be data-rich, but information-poor, collecting reams of student data but not ensuring the effective utilization of the information to guide next steps. In this session, Kurtis will explore a number of practical and easy to implement strategies and considerations for school leaders looking to ensure intentional organization and use of data to truly engage teachers, teams and help guide timely, collaborative responses for students.

Teachers give a lot of themselves, so preserving energy is an important skill. With increased demands on our time and resources, decisions must be made to manage stress and avoid burning out. In this session, we’ll examine why it can be so hard to say no. We’ll cover handling the disappointment of others, strategies for setting and maintaining stronger relationship boundaries, and creating more space to enjoy life instead of feeling “crazy busy.” Prioritize your own mental health by learning how to say no with kindness and without guilt so your students can see how it’s done.
