ADE Summit 2026 has ended
Thursday July 16, 2026 11:40am - 12:40pm CDT
Failure is not inevitable. This high-impact, one-hour session provides school and district leaders with research-backed actions for sustainable transformation. This presentation focuses on the "radical improvement" required to shift school environment, instruction, and results.
By the end of this session, attendees will be able to view their school or district through the following lenses:
*Establish Urgent Leadership: Signal the need for immediate, dramatic change while building a team dedicated to turnaround goals.
*Leverage Data for Action: Utilize real-time, student-level data to adjust instructional strategies and reduce absenteeism.
*Rebuild Environment and Trust: Implement transparent communication strategies to unite staff, parents, and the community.
*Optimize Resources: Align budgetary and human resources with "mission-critical" interventions rather than widespread, superficial reforms.
