2026 Engage Learning Conference

What if the behaviors that frustrate you most are actually predictable—and changeable—once you understand the brain behind them? Join us for an engaging session designed to equip educators with a practical, neuroscience-informed understanding of how brain development and regulation directly influence behavior, emotional regulation, and overall student well-being. 

This session integrates current research in brain development with applied insights from QEEG (quantitative electroencephalography) neurofeedback. The goal is to help educators move beyond surface-level behavior management and toward a deeper understanding of why students behave the way they do—and what can be done to support more regulated, engaged learning environments.

A session dedicated to discussing and identifying the 10 C’s of Leadership.  This presentation is not just for current or aspiring administrators - it is for anyone that “leads” students or staff. 

Looking for ways to be more responsive in your instruction? A professional learning community (PLC) is the next step in impacting your practice. Collectively, our experiences as educators are far greater than an individual's efforts. Work through the four essential questions for a PLC, and begin your next school year with actionable steps to work toward a goal. Participants will start small with identifying key standards, creating formative assessments, and sharing data in an efficient way. 

This is a story of how one school, Mountain Brook Junior High, took practical steps to involve students, staff, parents, and community members to make MBJH "The Most Welcoming School in America."  From macro-level work in identifying beliefs to aggressively teaching those beliefs, all the way to very specific steps taken to turn the hallways into vibrant spaces full of community, come hear the story and strategy behind one school's journey.

This session will equip teachers to assess students' fluency and build in routines that promote reading with expression, automaticity, rhythm, and smoothness in order to support comprehension. The routines and strategies can be used in the whole group setting, in small groups, with pairs of students, and also with individual students.
