Join us for a collaborative session exploring the updated Kentucky Academic Standards for Reading and Writing. Together, participants will build a shared understanding of the architecture and key revisions of the standards, examine the critical role of Standard 10 in shaping reading comprehension instruction, and explore how to bundle standards through grade-appropriate, complex text and text-based writing. This session is designed to equip district and school leaders with the foundational knowledge needed to align instruction to the revised standards with clarity and confidence.
Please contact tabor.placido@ckec.org with any questions.
This work session will provide opportunities for school and district teams to network and plan for development of a writing policy, as outlined in HB 257 (2026). It is suggested that teams attend together.
3 Hours of EILA/PD available.
Many educators have access to high-quality instructional resources—but access alone does not lead to improved student outcomes.
This full-day session focuses on what truly makes the difference: intentional, consistent implementation in real classrooms.
Participants will explore how Math Nation+ can be used as a flexible instructional resource to support a range of classroom goals—while gaining practical, ready-to-use strategies for:
- Purposeful integration into daily instruction
- Establishing consistent routines and structures
- Using data to inform and adjust instructional decisions
Math Nation+ continues to evolve, with updated tools and features designed to better support both teachers and students. This session will highlight those enhancements through the lens of real classroom application—when to use them, how to use them, and why they matter.
Whether you are new to Math Nation+ or looking to strengthen and refine your current implementation, this session offers a fresh, practical approach focused on turning access into meaningful impact.
6 Hours of EILA/PD available.
Participants should bring their district’s certified evaluation plan.
Strong evaluation practices are a key to school improvement, but sometimes the process becomes so regimented and formal that we miss authentic opportunities for teacher growth. In this session, administrators will receive practical evaluation tools and strategies that lead to student success.

What does it take to design a lesson that’s clear, cohesive, and cognitively engaging? In this hands-on refresher session, we’ll dive back into the 7 Components of an Ideal Lesson and revisit how each component aligns with the brain-based 6-phase model for student learning.
Participants will explore high-impact strategies like using flashbacks to support retrieval practice and congruent learning targets that drive everything from hooks to exit slips. We’ll analyze how your HQIR aligns with the 7 Components and how you can identify and make intentional adjustments to ensure the most effective lessons. Finally, we’ll give you time to create, refine, and workshop your own lesson plans using the 7 components as a guide. You’ll walk away with practical tools, peer feedback, and a customized plan to bring your lesson design to the next level.
Participants will earn 6 hours of EILA/PD Credit.
