Pre-ConferenceActivitiesWednesday, november 16, 2011

Aspiring Superintendents Academy*This daylong pre-conference seminar teaches aspiring superintendents how to meet the challenges faced by superintendents—particularly African American superintendents. Participants will hear from “seasoned” superintendents on issues including, the “do’s & don’ts of being a superintendent” and “the buck stops here.” Learn why only 3% of the 15,000 public school superintendents in the U.S. are African American.

*There is a fee of $99.00 that can be paid through conference registration. We encourage all those aspiring to become a school superintendent to take advantage of this great professional development opportunity.

Parents SummitThe Parents Summit, presented by the NABSE Parents Commission and the U.S. Department of Education, is a day of workshops and nationally renowned speakers addressing educational, financial and health issues as they relate to students and parents.

School Tours (K–12)The school districts located in the Orleans Parish and surrounding parishes will offer tours of various schools that demonstrate the excellent work being done to educate children in their respective school districts. There will be approximately 6–9 tours that will visit elementary, middle and high schools. Lunch will be provided on each tour. This is a great opportunity to witness best practices in action.

Collegiate TourThe NABSE Higher Education Commission and the New Orleans Conference Local Host Committee hosts a collegiate tour of Xavier University, Dillard University, University of New Orleans, Tulane University and Southern University at New Orleans. This is a great opportunity to witness the education and elevation of our young men and women on the collegiate level.

Cultural Tour NABSE is offering an Afro-Creole cultural tour of New Orleans, highlighting the contributions of People of Color who settled and built the city of New Orleans. The tour will also drive through some areas which were affected by Hurricane Katrina featuring the devastation and recovery of the areas. Since New Orleans holds a place in Civil Rights history, a knowledgeable tour guide will showcase some of the movement’s historical sites while referencing the stories of the foot soldiers of the movement. This tour will also be offered on Saturday, November 19th as well. Please visit the NABSE website (www.nabse.org) to learn more information about the cultural tour.

Youth SymposiumThe Youth Symposium is designed to motivate students in ways that will increase their desire to work towards academic achievement. This year, the Youth Symposium will be conducted by Erik Cork. His program, Rap, Rhythm and Rhyme: Rebuilding the Writing Foundation is an intensely fast-paced workshop that empowers students to systematically organize their thoughts and communicate them effectively on paper. Through music, movement and rap, students will actively participate in a “visually stimulating and physically intoxicating buffet of teachable techniques.”

The Youth Symposium convenes on Thursday, November 17, 2011 at 8:30 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. Lunch is provided for the students. Although the session is designed for students, it is open to all.

aspirinG principals’ sTrandFriday, November 18, 2011Presented by: The Visionary Leadership InstituteGetting The Body Ready For LearningMost educational administrators experience stress, fatigue and burnout within a few short years on the job. This workshop will take participants through a series of exercises to improve their stamina and relieve job-related stress.

Who Are Today’s Students and How Do We Reach and Teach ThemThis workshop will lay the foundation to understanding today’s youth and why educators respond as they do. At the conclusion of the workshop, each participant will have a series of practical solutions to employ under various conditions.

Classroom Management (If you don’t help staff handle it in the Classroom—You will have to handle it in YOUR office) Practical Strategies Classroom management is the key to effective teaching. This workshop is designed to provide aspiring administrators with strategies and skills to identify and manage classroom disrup-tions before they start. Each participant will be provided with the tools necessary to manage the classroom effectively. These strategies will focus on: 13 Ways Not To Be A Part of The Discipline Problem and the Use of Humor as an Effective Classroom Management Tool.

Making Sure School Connects With Parents (Improving Involvement)It’s no secret that parental involvement in schools has dramatically decreased. Most believe the decline can be traced to the elimination of “neighborhood schools.” However, this training session will examine the impact of school environment on the lack of parents’ desire to participate.

Using “Whole Brain Development” in Your SchoolWhole Brain provides an insightful understanding of each person’s communication style preference and how it impacts our successful and or challenging interactions with others whose styles may be different than our own. Based in the Left/Right Brain communications theory, Whole Brain expands the concept into a fun, highly-energetic, interactive exercise which allows each person to see their learning and teaching style behaviors from different perspectives.

Your Building Is A Reflection of Your Leadership StyleHow well a person understands his or her own style has a direct impact on their ability to lead others. This is particularly true for school administrators who are required to dispense information to individuals with many different learning styles. This workshop will help each participant understand their style and provide concrete methods to work with people of different styles.

How to Get Your Staff to Move Forward and on the Same Page How well a person understands his or her own style has a direct impact on their ability to perform at their best. This is particularly true for administrators who are required to dispense information to individuals with many different learning styles. This workshop will help each participant understand their style and provide concrete methods to work with people of different styles.

What Every Administrator Must Know About Special Education The administrator’s role is critical to success as public schools strive to meet the challenges of implementing IDEA 2004 and the requirements for students receiving special education services under NCLB. This workshop will look at the role of principals in creating schools that welcome children with special needs, hold high expectations for special needs children, as well as engage families to promote high quality special education programs.
