Culturize for Paraprofessionals

The last four years in education have brought forth some of the biggest challenges in our nation’s history. Paraprofessionals have done everything they can to support the needs of students and have done a phenomenal job in doing so regardless of the obstacles they face. With the high volume of turnover, schools are looking for additional ways to best support the paraprofessionals and teacher assistants that are striving to meet diverse needs of the students in their schools, and districts. This virtual conference focuses on providing perspectives on what paraprofessionals can do through the framework of Culturize by Jimmy Casas.  Using these transformational pillars of behavior showcased below, each of the sessions will apply perspectives on how to meet the 4 Core Values of the Culturize framework and put them into action in your schools through the lens of paraprofessionals.

Summer Culturize Institutes

Culturize affords attendees the opportunity to hear a variety of perspectives from some of the best thought leaders in the field of education. Through these perspectives, on a variety of topics within education, attendees will learn how they can apply the Culturize Core Values in their context and, ultimately, create a plan to use what they've learned as the 2024-25 school year begins. 

This IS the summer conference that will not only provide educators with perspectives on practical tools and strategies for the 2024-25 school year, but will also provide a renewed sense of energy and optimism for this great profession.
