Rejuvenate 2025

In this session, new teachers will explore student engagement as a continuum—from passive compliance to active investment—and discover why it matters. Participants will learn to recognize levels of engagement through student behaviors and gain practical strategies to foster deeper, more meaningful learning. Shift from managing behavior to inspiring curiosity and ownership!

The first couple of years as a new teacher can be challenging.  You might have always dreamed of being a teacher but didn't think of all the small but important steps necessary for success.  No matter where you are on your journey this session will offer strategies and ideas around setting up your room, classroom management, establishing expectations, procedures and routines.  Come join us for an interactive session and leave with a plan to start your year off right!

This session explores the concept of professional identity, emphasizing its role in shaping educators' teaching styles, relationships, and responses to challenges. Participants will identify their professional values, reflect on their leadership style, and apply strategies to build stronger relationships with students, colleagues, and leaders. The session will combine self-reflection, interactive discussions, and case studies to promote growth and engagement. By the end, attendees will develop actionable strategies to align their professional identity with impactful practices in their educational community.
