2024 AUSTIN SYMPOSIUM BREAKOUT SESSION APPLICATION

Overview

Thank you for your interest in sharing best practices at our 2024 Austin Leader in Me Symposium ! These 50 minute-long, practitioner-led breakout sessions allow educators to tell the story of how our systems and structures have helped them overcome their key challenges in their school community. We are looking for a compelling story and a high level of discussion and engagement around the key issue that the principles and practices of our solutions helped you solve. We encourage participation from multiple teachers and students who can help tell your story. Symposium attendees will have the opportunity to choose which sessions that they would like to attend throughout the event. Sessions offered and seating is on a first come, first serve basis.
