Handle with Care: Managing Difficult Situations in Schools with Dignity and Respect

In schools across the country, educators at every level are faced with delicate, challenging situations that require leadership skills and insights in order to produce favorable outcomes for students and staff. In this presentation, Joy Kelly examines a variety of difficult school-related situations, both in and out of the classroom, and provides strategies, tools, and techniques to address a variety of difficult-to-handle situations and scenarios, in order to help students and staff, emerge from missteps more self-aware, feeling valued, and able to move forward.

KEYNOTE: Culturize – Every Student. Every Day. Whatever it Takes.

Eradicate Average! CULTURIZE Your School. Average schools don’t inspire greatness--and greatness is what our world needs if we are going to produce world-changing learners. In this presentation, attendees will receive insights into what it takes to cultivate a community of learners who embody the innately human traits our world desperately needs, such as kindness, honesty, and compassion. Teachers and staff will learn how these “soft skills” can be honed while redefining the purpose of the work they do so they will aspire for nothing short of excellence!
