SUMMARY:Authentic Classrooms: Engaging Students through Real Life Work
DESCRIPTION:Why are so many students disengaged? Might we be able to teach them to INVEST in their own learning? If so\, how? Students engage and even rise to the level of “investment” when they see life relevance in their learning. Learn from some examples of authentic\, life-embedded classroom activities and share out some of your own! This session is al about “making it real” as we learn!

SUMMARY:Tenacious Teaching Cohort: Mid-Year Moves; Using Mid-Year Data to Prepare for Second Semester
DESCRIPTION:The halfway point of the school year is a powerful moment to pause\, reflect\, and refocus. In this session\, educators will learn how to analyze formative and benchmark assessment data to identify student learning needs and make strategic instructional adjustments. Participants will explore practical methods for grouping students\, targeting skill gaps\, and planning responsive lessons that build on student progress. Whether you’re working toward growth goals or preparing for spring assessments\, this session will help you turn data into action for a strong second half of the year.

SUMMARY:Using Deep Data to Plan and Deliver Effective Intervention
DESCRIPTION:Assessment and accountability data tell us a lot more than how well our school performs. Assessment and accountability data\, including performance indices and item analyses\, provide a roadmap for services at the heart of our mission — educating students! Learn how to use data indicators to target schoolwide needs\, meet specific student learning needs\, and deliver effective\, tiered intervention programs. We have the data. Let’s use it!

SUMMARY:Leadership Cohort: Dealing with Difficult Parents
DESCRIPTION:How does a school leader deal with parents who cannot be reached or who are not responsive to the needs of their child’s schooling? Come prepared to discuss your most difficult interactions with parents\, what has worked for you\, and what research and best practices might guide us. BCHF’s Leadership Cohort is an accepting\, conversational space where leaders discuss information\, share ideas and best practices\, and overall support each other in the pursuit of great leadership and great schools!

SUMMARY:Falling Forward: Turning Failure into Momentum
DESCRIPTION:Mistakes aren’t obstacles-when leveraged well\, they are catalysts for deep learning. This session explores how educators can create conditions where students view errors as valuable data rather than failures. We’ll discuss the psychology behind mistake-making\, including growth mindset principles\, brain science\, and the role of productive struggle. Through interactive examples and discussion\, participants will learn how to model reflective thinking\, design tasks that encourage risk-taking\, and implement feedback systems that guide students toward improvement. By the end of this session\, you’ll have a set of strategies to help students analyze their missteps\, revise their thinking\, and build resilience and confidence in their learning journey.

SUMMARY:Purposeful Questioning in Mathematics: Promoting Reasoning\, Not Recall
DESCRIPTION:Every question in math class signals what we value-speed or thinking\, recall or reasoning. This session helps educators craft and adjust questions that uncover student thinking and deepen mathematical understanding. Participants will use student work and video cases to examine patterns in their questioning\, plan for purposeful prompts\, and reflect on how questions can support access and rigor. Leaders will consider how to support this shift during observations and feedback.

SUMMARY:Teach Like a Champion
DESCRIPTION:This is the first collaborative session for the book study on Teach Like A Champion’s Guide to the Science of Reading. Anyone can attend any session! Attendees who register and attend at least three sessions will receive a copy of the book. In this initial meeting\, we will introduce the book’s core arguments and dive straight into Principle 1: Attending to Attention. Research shows that sustained attention is a prerequisite for all learning. We will examine the cognitive science behind attention and memory\, sharing practical\, immediate strategies for improving student focus\, managing digital distractions\, and designing classroom environments that naturally enhance the mental stamina required for complex academic work.
