The Road to MidCon

Local and national speakers will lead engaging and thought provoking sessions to provide educators with tools and strategies specifically tailored to the middle level.
The Road to MidCon virtual Events
“The Magic in the Middle” featuring Rick Wormeli
What makes the middle level a unique, interesting (and, yes, challenging) experience? And, what can we do to help students navigate this intense period of growth?
“Kids These Days are Different” featuring Katie Powell
Students face an abundance of traumatic events (a pandemic, global conflicts, school & community violence). These things impact behavior. Let’s explore strategies to reach our hard-to-teach post-COVID middle schoolers.
“Leading from the Middle” featuring Tom Hakim
How can we create an amazing school culture which prioritizes the importance of connections? Tom will look at best practices for leading growing middle schoolers and the educators who pour into them.
“Strategies to Help Students Connect and Take Risks” featuring Phyllis Fagell
Just talking about a growth mindset is not enough. How can we take students’ innate inclinations and enhance learning, encourage risk-taking, and build trust?
