Inspiring Connection In a Hybrid World
We are proud to bring you an update on all things MASSP! We will be celebrating our 2021-22 accomplishments and projecting forward a bit about our plans for 2022-23. In this presentation you will hear from MASSP staff and members with updates on: Association financials, membership, professional development, student programs and Path to Leadership. Join us to be sure you are in the loop and ready for the next school year!
Inspiring connection in a hybrid world is going to be key for fostering a culture of connection. Many of us have gotten used to learning, living, and leading from home. While this has created flexibility and autonomy among teams, this can also create a sense of disconnection and isolation. Demonstrating empathy for the changes we are all going through and understanding ways to restore energy and team member interaction are critical. In Mark’s keynote, he will provide ways to reignite human connection in a hybrid workplace leaving you filled with a newfound courage to connect.

Putting SEL at the Core of Our Work, Secondary Style PENINSULA A [DINA ROCHELEAU, GLEN LAKE COMMUNITY SCHOOLS SECONDARY PRINCIPAL]
Participants will hear how to support a systemic approach to social emotional learning at the secondary level. For many of us, this is a shift in our way of thinking. We must take an intentional approach to learn the research and be bold enough to make shifts in our mindset and adjust our practices and policies. This is not an easy task. We have moved into this with a “commitment over compliance” approach. The workshop is organized to allow us to have difficult and courageous conversations on how to move daily practices and adult mindsets to focus on the newest research to support students’ social emotional development and the fine line between behavior/discipline practices.

The Middle School Brain TOWER A [DINA ROCHELEAU, GLEN LAKE COMMUNITY SCHOOLS SECONDARY PRINCIPAL]
Middle school is the most intense period of brain development after infancy. Middle school is a crucial time for rapid growth in the brain’s gray matter – the brain tissue used for information processing. This is the perfect age to add some fun, curiosity, and JOY into the school day. The staff at Glen Lake gathered input from students on what they would LOVE to learn, worked diligently to refresh a rather dated daily schedule, and introduced new ESSENTIAL classes. Essential classes were formerly known as electives, without much to truly select from, based on student input. With our new 9-week rotation schedule students get to have fun and process information that will lead to a stronger career pathway in high school. Want to learn about courses titled: Hug Your Brain, How to A to Z, Shark Tank, Collaborative Games, Global Studies, and more? Come join the conversation and let’s learn from each other. Middle School Matters!

Are Your PLCs Focusing on Effective Acceleration to Ensure Quality Tier 1 Instruction? TOWER B [JOHN CAFAGNA, CHIPPEWA VALLEY SCHOOLS COORDINATOR OF ASSESSMENT AND DATA ANALYSIS]
The PLC process is one that encompasses many pieces of collaboration from culture to learning to results. In this session participants will focus on how acceleration is a key piece of the PLC process and how it should play an even more important role coming out of the pandemic. Without effective acceleration, educators cannot provide all students the most important grade-level instruction. Adults need to focus on critical skills in order not to leave students behind. To that end, we will dive into how we, as leaders, can provide the skills to make sure it is happening in our buildings.
Developing a 3-5 Year Academic Plan for Success MACKINAC B/C [SCOTT JOSEPH, BYRON CENTER HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL]
As a high school principal, it is important to develop systems of support for your advanced, proficient, emerging, struggling low-skill, and struggling low-will learners. From AP and Dual Enrollment, to intervention and remediation, it can be overwhelming to try and develop systems to help every learner. Learn about different ways to create systems of success to help each student develop their own success story. Principals will learn how to enhance or develop systems to support each area, or rebuild post-COVID with a new 3-5 year plan.
Taking Care of the Adults ... All of the Adults... So They Take Care of Their Students MICHIGAN BALLROOM C (first floor lobby level) [JIM WICHMAN]
Stepping into conversations with purpose is often overlooked. While time can be saved in doing so, this is an example of “short term win, long term loss.” In this session we will explore and discuss approaches and strategies to planning and communicating with purpose to different populations of people who have different life experiences, as well as the value of conducting fidelity check-ins with colleagues.

A Principal’s Guide to the What, Why, and How of Comprehensive History Instruction, an Update from the MDE MACKINAC A [RANE’ GARCIA, MDE]
Our children deserve to learn about the full breadth of the history of the United States and world. As educators, we have the responsibility to teach students this breadth of history, including about race, racism, xenophobia, sexism, and other difficult and challenging subjects. During the 2021-2022 school year the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) began hosting a webinar series in collaboration with institutions of higher education, cultural centers, and the 12 federally recognized tribes of Michigan that form the Confederation of Michigan Tribal Education Departments (CMTED) to assist educators with the teaching of and learning about comprehensive history through thematic instruction.

Boundaries and Guardrails: Supporting Educational Staff in Achieving Wellness & Balance and Avoiding Burnout TOWER C [DANIELLE PECK, MICHIGAN VIRTUAL]
The past few years have made clear that educators need support in creating work-life balance. Self-care is incredibly important, but organizations need systems to solidify the boundaries that educators themselves would like to implement. This session is about taking initiative by putting up structural “guardrails” to show care and work actively against burnout. We will examine the concept of “boundaries” vs. “guardrails” from Petersen and Warzel’s Out of Office, explore examples of how to implement guardrails in schools, and take time to reflect and problem-solve.

This session outlines the importance of social emotional learning for all in the secondary school setting and how to incorporate that learning when teachers feel the pressure of “covering the academics.”
