Pathways to Purpose: Supporting the Whole Student for Lifelong Success

About the Event

The Oklahoma Student Development Conference is a statewide gathering designed to strengthen the systems, practices, and partnerships that support the success and well being of Oklahoma students. Grounded in the theme “Pathways to Purpose: Supporting the Whole Student for Lifelong Success,” the conference brings together education and community professionals who work across prevention, school based mental health, counseling, and college and career readiness. This one day event offers participants the opportunity to learn from experts, explore evidence aligned practices, and connect with colleagues who are building strong student support systems in schools and districts across the state. Through five focused learning paths, attendees will engage with sessions that highlight proactive prevention strategies, comprehensive counseling practices, mental health coordination, readiness and transition planning, and leadership approaches that strengthen whole child supports. The conference emphasizes practical application, collaboration, and real world examples that professionals can take back to their districts. Whether participants are strengthening their school counseling programs, expanding partnerships, improving student mental health supports, refining ICAP implementation, or leading systemwide initiatives, the event provides tools and insights that help move the work forward. Hosted at Metro Technology Center’s Springlake Campus on February 9th, 2026, the conference will welcome up to 300 professionals and is designed to inspire purpose driven work that prepares every student for lifelong success. **Proposal Submission Deadline: December 15th, 2025** Registration Now Open - RSVP above
