Reserve My Free Summit PassOne powerful day. Five practical sessions.
One shared commitment.
Sessions
Good intentions are not enough.
Educators are expected to strengthen instruction, respond to behavior, build culture, partner with families, support colleagues, and improve outcomes, often all at the same time.
Do you want practical strategies you can actually use with students, staff, and families?
Are you ready to strengthen instruction, culture, behavior support, family engagement, and leadership?
Do you want to begin the school year feeling equipped, not merely inspired?
Too much professional development names what educators should accomplish without providing enough clarity about how to make it happen.
Intentional Impact brings together five experienced educators for practical conversations about the decisions, strategies, and daily practices that shape student and school success.
You will leave with fresh perspective, clearer next steps, and strategies you can begin applying in your own context.
Five sessions built for the work educators are doing now.
Move from behavior and culture to instruction, family partnership, and leadership through sessions designed to turn insight into action.
Behavior Basics: The Foundation Every Educator Needs... But Few Were Ever Taught
Understanding Behavior to Transform Classrooms and School Culture
Behavior isn’t just about students. It is about the environments, relationships, and practices that shape learning every day. This session helps educators build a strong foundation in behavior science so they can better understand behavior, identify patterns, and create classrooms and school cultures that are proactive, supportive, and built for success.
Presented by Sarah “Scho” McFarland, MS, BCBA, COBA, IBA
Culture Before Compliance
Designing Classroom Climates That Sustain Learning
Compliance-driven schools manage behavior after it happens; culture-driven schools prevent it. This session introduces the Culture ALIGN Framework™ to help leaders diagnose systems, align leadership, and normalize proactive practices over reactive ones.
Presented by Dr. Tymika Payne, Founder and CEO of Beyond the Basics Education Solutions, LLC
Beyond the Lesson: The Leadership Systems Behind Every Strong Tier 1 Classroom
Building the conditions for high-quality instruction in every classroom.
Strong Tier 1 instruction does not happen by chance. It happens because school leaders intentionally build the leadership systems that sustain instructional excellence. In this session, participants will explore three essential leadership shifts that create the conditions for high-quality teaching in every classroom. Discover how leadership systems work together to strengthen instructional practice, build collective efficacy, and drive continuous improvement across the school. Participants will leave with a practical leadership action they can implement immediately to make strong Tier 1 instruction the standard, not the exception.

Beyond the Backpack
Creating Strong School-Home Partnerships That Last
The connection between school and home extends far beyond homework, behavior notes, and permission slips. Meaningful partnerships are built through trust, communication, shared understanding, and a commitment to supporting the whole child. This interactive session explores how families and educators can move beyond simply exchanging information to creating intentional, collaborative relationships that promote consistency, strengthen problem-solving, and improve outcomes for children. Participants will gain practical strategies for building trust, navigating challenges together, and developing sustainable habits that strengthen the bridge between home and school long after the backpack is unpacked.
Presented by TaSheena Hogue, M.Ed., BCBA, COBA, LBA
THE PEOPLE'S PRINCIPAL™: The People Are the Strategy
A methodology for transformational leadership.
The People Are the Strategy introduces The People’s Principal™ Methodology, a practical leadership framework for building the adult capacity that drives lasting school improvement. Participants will explore why sustainable change begins with people, not programs, and learn the five leadership practices that strengthen culture, execution, innovation, psychological safety, and team performance. Whether leading a classroom, school, or district, attendees will leave with a clear framework they can immediately apply to build stronger people and achieve stronger results.
Presented by Agnes Aleobua, THE PEOPLE'S PRINCIPAL™
