District Leadership Roundtable

The Napa, Marin, and Solano County Offices of Education — in conjunction with District Management Group (DMGroup) — would like to formally invite you to join us for a two-part interactive professional development session. Superintendents, Chief Academic Officers, Deputy Superintendents, Directors, Principals, and all Central Office staff are encouraged to attend.

Morning Session (8:30-11:30am): Shifting Resources to Support Strategic Priorities

In an environment of limited resources and rising demands, funding priorities and new initiatives within existing budgets requires a revised approach to managing resources. This session will share leading research and practical insights  of the highest-impact opportunities to maximize resources for student success and explore four key high-leverage strategies: 

• Precisely managing special education staffing and use of time  
• Creating cost effective schedules
• Connecting federal funds to strategic priorities  
• Embracing Academic Return on Investment (A-ROI) to guide investments and abandonment  

Afternoon Session (12:00-3:00pm): Improving School and Staff Scheduling and the use of Student and Teacher Time in Elementary Schools

This session will examine how a comprehensive, best practice based approach to strengthen scheduling, the use of student and staff time, and overall management in your elementary schools will help achieve and implement best practices for teaching and learning. It will focus on the following four topics:

• Optimized Master Building Schedules and Elementary Specials Schedules
• Scheduling Reading Instruction
• Scheduling Special Education staff teachers and related service providers
• Scheduling for Interventions and other services (Tier 2 interventionists, RTI teachers, Social Workers)
