WHAT’S RIGHT IN EDUCATION 2020
Join us virtually for our ninth annual education leadership conference! As we look back at the year so far, we see a community of educators who are stronger and more resolved than ever to make sure that students have every opportunity to succeed, despite the obstacles ahead. It takes courage to face the uncertainty and willingness to unlearn some of our most successful practices and define new practices. Individually, we don’t have all of the answers, but together we can accomplish more, lay new ground and forge ahead.

Strengthening Rural America: Connecting Healthcare and Education
When education and healthcare providers in rural communities form collaborative partnerships, they expand their power to bring innovative solutions to the unique challenges that they face. In rural areas, travel distances make education and health services less accessible. Educational resources are limited and teacher shortages are more prevalent. Mental and behavioral health services are scarcer or altogether unavailable.
This event brings hospital CEOs, board members, superintendents and community leaders together to share stories of their collective impact. You will learn practices that have been successful in communities across Rural America and hear about the people that have been vital along the way.

RUNNING THE STEPS (ARE MY EMPLOYEES DISENGAGED?)
Visualize the scene from the movie “Rocky” where Rocky Balboa took a victory run to the top of the steps in celebration. What does “running the steps” look like to become a champion in your organization?
In this coach chat, we will start with what “running the steps” should look like and then discuss the warning signs of poor morale at work. What are the factors that cause decreasing morale and do you experience the factors in your organization?
Join Dr. Gayle Juneau-Butler and Nannette Johnston on Tuesday, November 10, at 3:30 p.m. CT to learn four action steps to help boost team morale and “run the steps” like a champion:
- Define the cause of disengagement
- Connect work to meaningful outcomes
- Make sure the right people are in the right seats
- Let work be fun where appropriate
During this free virtual chat, you’ll have the opportunity to ask Dr. Juneau Butler and Nannette questions and interact with other leaders to see how they’re channeling their inner Rocky to run the steps and become champions within their organization.
