SUMMARY:Opening Keynote: From Intention to Impact: The Cognitive Architecture of Teacher Clarity
DESCRIPTION:Teacher clarity is one of the most consistently powerful influences on student learning\, and this keynote distills why. At its core\, teacher clarity is the intentional practice of making learning visible\, coherent\, and navigable for students. Decades of research place teacher clarity among the highest-impact practices\, with effect sizes typically around 0.85. But the real story is why clarity works—and that’s where the science of learning steps in.\nCognitive science shows that learning accelerates when students know what they’re aiming for and can monitor their progress toward it. Clear intentions reduce extraneous cognitive load\, allowing working memory to focus on the thinking that matters. Success criteria act as mental models\, helping students encode new information more efficiently and retrieve it more accurately. When teachers model thinking\, break down complex tasks\, and provide timely\, specific feedback\, they align instruction with how the brain actually learns: through purposeful attention\, structured practice\, and meaning-making.\nClarity also strengthens metacognition. When students can articulate what they’re learning\, why it matters\, and how they’ll know they’re successful\, they shift from passive recipients to active agents. They begin to self-assess\, adjust strategies\, and take ownership of their progress—behaviors strongly linked to long-term achievement.\nWhen research\, cognitive science\, and classroom practice converge\, clarity becomes a catalyst for deeper understanding\, equity\, and student empowerment.

SUMMARY:Building Clarity From the Source
DESCRIPTION:This session develops our capacity to work through standards thoughtfully&nbsp\;before turning to AI for support. We will learn how to analyze the language\, cognitive demand\, and embedded expectations of a standard to craft learning intentions\, success criteria\, questions\, and tasks that truly reflect the rigor. We’ll examine why relying on GPT to generate LI/SC without deep understanding leads to lowered expectations. Together\, let's practice answering our own clarity questions and tasks first\, ensuring we can model\, scaffold\, and support students toward high expectations.

SUMMARY:Establishing Clarity In Your Classroom Management
DESCRIPTION:Every day in classrooms across Kansas\, educators struggle with classroom management. They try ideal after idea\, practice after practice - yet continue to battle to find the right balance and structure for themselves and their students. &nbsp\;In this interactive session\, participants will learn about the Inclusive Classroom Framework\, which organizes evidence-based practices within a hierarchy of classroom management domains\, and guides educators to individually prioritize these domains based on the needs of their students\, classroom design\, and current levels of implementation. Once prioritized\, the framework provides clear implementation roadmaps for each of the practices to streamline and monitor their improvement efforts. Everything from classroom organization and instructional clarity\, to relationship building and teaching metacognitive strategies are built into the framework. Participants in this session will complete a brief self-reflection survey that will guide them selecting 1-2 practices for improving their classroom management and structure going forward.

Learn to balance creativity and practicality.\nHarness the driving force of emotional intensity – emotions profound as any hero's journey. Discover how emotional depth becomes the cornerstone of our narrative. Be cautious\, as heightened emotional intensity may manifest as mood swings. With help from “Mellow Out They Say\,” learn to channel emotions constructively.\nMinds that race\, thoughts that soar – our superheroes in the making. Be mindful of intellectual intensity's flip side – perfectionism and frustration. Use insights from "Living with Intensities" to navigate the thin line between brilliance and burnout.\nStep into the world of sensual overexcitability – where every sensation becomes a superpower. Be aware\, heightened sensitivity may lead to sensory overload. Master balancing heightened sensations with self-care.

SUMMARY:The K-5 Spelling Developmental Continuum: From Phonemes to Morphemes
DESCRIPTION:Spelling is not a matter of visual memory\; it is the visual representation of language. This session tracks the developmental trajectory of spelling from the primary grades through upper elementary\, showing how early speech-to-print foundations evolve into advanced structural word study. In the first half of the session\, we will focus on the primary orthographic pathway (Grades K–2). In the second half\, we will shift to the intermediate grades (Grades 3–5) to explore the morphological advantage. Because English orthography is patterned by both sound and meaning\, we will demonstrate how teaching meaning-bearing word parts stabilizes spelling for older students including sound-mapping frameworks and morphological matrices strengthen spelling.

SUMMARY:Establishing Clarity In Your Classroom Management
DESCRIPTION:Every day in classrooms across Kansas\, educators struggle with classroom management. They try ideal after idea\, practice after practice - yet continue to battle to find the right balance and structure for themselves and their students. &nbsp\;In this interactive session\, participants will learn about the Inclusive Classroom Framework\, which organizes evidence-based practices within a hierarchy of classroom management domains\, and guides educators to individually prioritize these domains based on the needs of their students\, classroom design\, and current levels of implementation. Once prioritized\, the framework provides clear implementation roadmaps for each of the practices to streamline and monitor their improvement efforts. Everything from classroom organization and instructional clarity\, to relationship building and teaching metacognitive strategies are built into the framework. Participants in this session will complete a brief self-reflection survey that will guide them selecting 1-2 practices for improving their classroom management and structure going forward.

SUMMARY:The Gap That Costs Us All: Special Education Funding\, Olathe\, and the Future of Kansas Schools
DESCRIPTION:The Reality: Kansas law (K.S.A. 72-3422) mandates that the state fund 92% of the "excess costs" for special education. In reality\, funding has hovered near 66–69%\, forcing districts like Olathe to divert millions from general operating budgets to fill the gap.\n\n\nThe Impact: In Johnson County alone\, districts are transferring over $132 million annually from general funds to cover the shortfall. This session pulls back the curtain on how "Special Ed funding" isn't just a "Special Ed problem"—it’s a classroom size problem\, a school staff retention problem\, and a student resource problem for every child in Kansas.\n\n\nWhat we will cover:\nThe Math: Breaking down the 92% statutory requirement vs. the actual reimbursement rates.\nThe Olathe Context: Why Olathe’s higher identification rates and specialized programs (CBR\, etc.) create unique budget pressures compared to neighboring districts.\nLong-Term ROI: Evidence-based data showing that every $1 invested in Special Ed yields a $2–$10 return through improved workforce participation and reduced social costs.\nThe Toolkit: Participants will receive a Social Media & Advocacy Toolkit to help communicate these complexities to parents and community members.\n\n\nPlease bring a laptop or tablet to access the digital toolkit and interactive data comparisons.

SUMMARY:Shining a Light on Reading Fluency: Using the Quad Sort to Clarify Student Needs
DESCRIPTION:Schools collect large amounts of reading data\, but translating that information into clear instructional decisions can be challenging. This session introduces the Quad Sort\, a practical tool designed to illuminate patterns within FastBridge reading fluency data and transform progress-monitoring results into actionable insights for instruction.\nParticipants will learn how to download reading fluency data from FastBridge\, upload the data into the Quad Sort tool\, and interpret the resulting analyses to better understand students’ reading needs. The Quad Sort organizes students based on key fluency indicators\, helping educators quickly identify patterns in accuracy and rate to determine appropriate supports and instructional groupings.\nThrough real examples and guided demonstrations\, participants will see how the Quad Sort technique can bring clarity to reading data\, streamline the process of grouping students\, and support more targeted reading instruction. Attendees will leave with a practical framework for using existing assessment data to make more confident\, data-informed decisions that illuminate the path toward improved reading outcomes.

DESCRIPTION:The Reality: Kansas law (K.S.A. 72-3422) mandates that the state fund 92% of the "excess costs" for special education. In reality\, funding has hovered near 66–69%\, forcing districts like Olathe to divert millions from general operating budgets to fill the gap.\n\n\nThe Impact: In Johnson County alone\, districts are transferring over $132 million annually from general funds to cover the shortfall. This session pulls back the curtain on how "Special Ed funding" isn't just a "Special Ed problem"—it’s a classroom size problem\, a school staff retention problem\, and a student resource problem for every child in Kansas.\n\n\nWhat we will cover:\nThe Math: Breaking down the 92% statutory requirement vs. the actual reimbursement rates.\nThe Olathe Context: Why Olathe’s higher identification rates and specialized programs (CBR\, etc.) create unique budget pressures compared to neighboring districts.\nLong-Term ROI: Evidence-based data showing that every $1 invested in Special Ed yields a $2–$10 return through improved workforce participation and reduced social costs.\nThe Toolkit: Participants will receive a Social Media & Advocacy Toolkit to help communicate these complexities to parents and community members.\n\n\nPlease bring a laptop or tablet to access the digital toolkit and interactive data comparisons.

SUMMARY:The K-5 Spelling Developmental Continuum: From Phonemes to Morphemes
DESCRIPTION:Spelling is not a matter of visual memory\; it is the visual representation of language. This session tracks the developmental trajectory of spelling from the primary grades through upper elementary\, showing how early speech-to-print foundations evolve into advanced structural word study. In the first half of the session\, we will focus on the primary orthographic pathway (Grades K–2). In the second half\, we will shift to the intermediate grades (Grades 3–5) to explore the morphological advantage. Because English orthography is patterned by both sound and meaning\, we will demonstrate how teaching meaning-bearing word parts stabilizes spelling for older students including sound-mapping frameworks and morphological matrices strengthen spelling.
