Empowerment Through Perspective: Reframing Deficit Mindsets and Moving to an Asset-Based Mindset

In this two-part series, participants will be introduced to the concept of deficit-based thinking and how harmful and pervasive it is in education spaces. They will engage in an unpacking exercise to better understand the different harmful outcomes of deficit-based thinking. Then they will learn to reframe deficit thinking and co-create asset-based responses. Part 2 will help you understand the ways society does not value the capital that marginalized students bring to educational spaces. Using Yosso's (2005) community cultural wealth model, participants will reflect and reframe how their students are viewed in deficit ways to more asset-based descriptions. Sessions: October 27, 2026 (9:00 AM–12:00 PM); December 8, 2026 (9:00 AM–12:00 PM). In-person (face-to-face) professional learning from CREC – Capitol Region Education Council.

From Contact to Community: Working Together with Families Across Cultures

The first interaction a family has with your school often sets the tone for their entire educational journey. Is it a bridge to partnership or a barrier to engagement? In this workshop series, we explore how school employees serve as the vital frontline of community belonging. We address the "cultural mismatches", differences in communication styles and lived experiences, that can unintentionally create mistrust, especially within culturally and linguistically diverse communities. Learning will be sustained through built-in practice during the session, so participants leave with strategies ready to use, along with practical resources to support ongoing implementation. Participants will be encouraged to collaborate with colleagues to continue reflecting and holding one another accountable, building a community of learners. Change will be evident through increased confidence, more culturally responsive communication, and more restorative and intentional relationship-building with families. Sessions: October 28, 2026 (2:00 PM–4:00 PM); November 4, 2026 (2:00 PM–4:00 PM). In-person (face-to-face) professional learning from CREC – Capitol Region Education Council.

Data Literacy with Datawise and Change Management – 3 Session Series

Data is everywhere, but numbers only tell a story if we know how to read them, and culture only shifts if we know how to manage the human side of change. This collaborative workshop series guides educators, coaches, and school leaders through building data literacy using Harvard’s Data Wise Improvement Process, while also considering challenges with change management. Together, we will move past the overwhelm of "too much data" and build a culture of collaborative inquiry. Participants will learn how to look at data constructively, identify true learner needs, adjust instructional practices, and navigate the psychological and structural shifts required for sustainable, school-wide change. This workshop series addresses multiple domains of Connecticut’s Common Core of Leading (CCL), Professional Standards for Educational Leaders (PSSEL), and the Common Core of Teaching (CCT). Session Topics: Session 1-Teaming, Early Inquiry, and Resistance to Change Management; Session #2-Deeper Inquiry about Students and Adults, From a Culture of Compliance to a Culture of Inquiry; and Session #3-Taking Action, Overcoming Implementation Dips. Who Should Attend? This series is designed for District Leadership Teams, School Leadership Teams, Instructional Coaches, Department Chairs, and Grade-Level Professional Learning Communities (PLCs). Because this framework deeply addresses systems change and culture shifting, we highly recommend attending as a team of up to five (5) to maximize the impact in your setting. INCLUDED IN COST: Datawise 3rd Edition book Sessions: December 2, 2026 (8:45 AM–3:15 PM); February 23, 2027 (8:45 AM–3:15 PM); April 2, 2027 (8:45 AM–3:15 PM).

Middle School Mathematics Intervention Learning Series (Session 4) – Using Multiple Representations

This session emphasizes the importance of multiple representations in developing conceptual understanding and supporting diverse learners. Participants will engage with strategies that connect visual, symbolic, verbal, and contextual representations to deepen student comprehension. Drawing from high-quality instructional resources, math leaders will analyze how representations can be intentionally used to scaffold learning without reducing rigor. Opportunities will be provided to design or adapt tasks that incorporate multiple entry points for students.
