Day One Matters: Building Expectations, Systems, and Culture Through Mise en Place. Session 1 of 5
Monday June 8, 2026 1:00pm - 1:45pm CDT
Diamond 4
Students don’t rise to expectations they never hear, see or understand.  The tone of your program is set on the very first day. This session demonstrates how a simple chicken fabrication lesson can be used to establish expectations, routines, safety, professionalism, and industry mindset from the start. Participants will see how mise en place becomes more than prep, it becomes the foundation for student success all year long.

Students are exposed daily to financial “advice” on social media, ranging from investing tips and side hustles to credit hacks and cryptocurrency claims. But how do we help them distinguish credible information from hype, misinformation, or marketing? This session equips teachers with a practical, ready-to-use lesson and activities to teach students how to evaluate online financial content critically.

Marching Off the Map: How to Be an Innovative Educator
Wednesday June 10, 2026 11:00am - 11:45am CDT
Diamond 4
When Alexander the Great assembled three armies and began his campaign, he marched his soldiers off the current, familiar maps and into new, uncharted territory. They had to draw new maps as they marched. This is our reality today. Leaders cannot merely repeat what they’ve always done. It’s important to “read the need, before they lead”. Student success must be about more than academic scores. Effective leaders discover what’s new while also holding on to timeless values. This session sets up discussion on how to march into new territory, prepare for the future and set the pace for other schools.
