When: Oct 29, 2024

Where: Garland ISD, Gilbreath Reed Career and Technical Center - Lecture room, 4885 President George Bush Highway, Garland, TX 75040

Learning Counsel News is coming to your area to roll cameras and bring new perspectives based on national research about everything from chronic absenteeism to how much time teachers spend on duties they needn't be and what the teacher shortage really means plus much more. We'll be hosting local K12 speakers and panels to hear from school and district leadership.

We'll also have customized morning schedules for short roundtable discussions on hot topics related to trends and transformations, national research briefings, and our nationally recognized graciousness with a luncheon for all in the early afternoon. We value your time, and we hope you value ours for our one day of togetherness.

Full Agenda below.

Do you want to present? We will work with you on topics that showcase your work against national trends.

Present to our live audience, as well as our large national audience in recorded sessions and additional millions of viewers with social media and syndication.

Being selected to present is free, but the Learning Counsel requires a time commitment for presenter/teams to take advantage of the discussion rounds which help review their work against national best practice models. Some of the rounds may include Learning Counsel sponsor participation.

Do you want to participate and network?

This must-attend one-day meeting-style event is unlike any other conference or professional development. Learning Counsel’s “crystal ball” analysts will bring perspective on market-wide trends as well as the key things to focus on with schooling and teaching practice.

Round Table Discussions. Each topic is preselected for the local educators to discuss. See full list below in the agenda.

The luncheon is crafted to bring value from Learning Counsel’s National Research. See information below for this Market Briefing in the agenda.

The final hour will be a panel of local school and district administrators answering pointed questions from Learning Counsel News, with open time for questions from the audience.

You’ll also be treated to a video showcase reel of the latest from tech companies.

Morning Discussion Rounds, Guest Speakers, and Special Briefing

8:00 - 9:30 a.m. - Welcome Breakfast & Ongoing Discussion Rounds

1. Personalization & Flexibility Tactics. An overview of spatial-temporal AI calendaring which transforms classroom learning, flextime, whole school and school-to-school sharing with auto-cohorting and matrix network of human teaching resources.

Perfect for: Any administrator as they consider trend turn-around tactics, and teachers for creating pace-based or project-based learning to personalize for students.

2. Alpha Generation Traits. One of the five reasons why students are absent or leave for an alternative has to do with the characteristics of the current K12 student population.

Perfect for: Any administrator as they consider trend turn-around tactics, and teachers for creating pace-based or project-based learning to personalize for students.

3. The Nines. What are the nine types of AI and what happens when they converge? New consumer-focused Generative AI is only one of the nine. Additionally, what are the nine types of human intelligences and should schools pivot to develop them all or stay with the two most focused on since the manufacturing Age?

Perfect for: Training any educator to understand the meaning of AI in teaching and learning so that practices are not overwhelmed, and administrative policies understand the full picture. Driving new discussion about the often-overlooked co-intelligences of humans in traditional learning that may need to come to the forefront to balance the AI convergence on the horizon.

4. The Missing Orderliness of Teacher & Institution Workflow Logic. What’s the ideal scene for balancing tech and human teaching in schooling? What does the ideal workflow pattern look like for schools? What core assumptions are teachers and institutions still making that they should reconsider to make everything easier and better in light of topline trends of attrition, absenteeism, the teacher shortage and need to assure safety and security? What’s your human “brand?”

Perfect for: Administrators for understanding ideal scenes for the architecture of their tech categories as to how they affect the workflow patterns of all stakeholders, and teachers as they consider what’s important amongst all new expectations.
