Radically Imagine the future of charter school authorizing and public education at this year’s 2020 NACSA Virtual Leadership Conference. The 2020 NACSA Virtual Leadership Conference is the largest gathering of charter school authorizers in the country, and it’s celebrating its 20th anniversary and going virtual.

Join October 12 to 30, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12pm CT to 5 pm CT and Fridays at 12pm CT for Community Conversations, for virtual sessions specifically designed for authorizers.

Network with authorizing leaders across the country and gain practical skills and tools for your work. Learn from experts in the field, engage with your authorizing peers to help develop best practices, and gain resources to advance equity and access.

Want to transform the quality of work that students produce in your class? Teaching your students to critique both their peers and their own work is one of the most powerful ways to improve quality. This webinar will familiarize participants with the basics of critique and its impact in transforming student work. Participants will experience first hand how to run a critique session, as well as illuminate the ways critique can give you the most bang for your buck in improving student work quality. By the end of this session, participants will identify places in their own practice where critique could be an easy lift and best fit, and will begin planning for critique inclusion in their classes.

​In our current state of virtual classrooms, how we engage and build relationships with students has shifted. We no longer have the opportunity to meet with them in person, we don’t have the ability to read each other’s body language, or use a face to face interaction as a way to connect. This can make problem-solving with students even more difficult, than before. One way to help solve this issue and be more intentional with how we are building trust, and helping students problem solve, is to combine and align critical thinking routines with the collaborative problem solving (CPS). In this webinar, you will learn how to align and use the steps of CPS with three critical thinking routines to help you and your students implement effective plans that target behaviors which lead to more authentic relationships and overall student success.
