Be Curious, Not Judgmental: The Discipline of Coaching with Curiosity
Monday July 13, 2026 10:45am - 12:05pm PDT
Florentine D
“Be curious, not judgmental” is often treated like a mindset, but in coaching, it’s a discipline. Most leaders enter conversations with answers already in mind and use questions to guide teachers there. In this session, ELA and Math leaders will examine how judgment shapes coaching and how to interrupt it in real time. Participants will learn how to ask questions that actually open thinking and lead to meaningful instructional change.

When Children Do the Thinking: Moving Beyond Engagement to Real Learning
Monday July 13, 2026 1:05pm - 2:25pm PDT
Florentine D
Most classrooms are filled with activity. The question is whether children are doing the thinking that leads to real learning. When children are not doing the thinking, they are not doing the learning. This session explores practical strategies that shift instruction from compliance to thinking, amplify learner voice, and create classrooms where children analyze, justify, and communicate their ideas. Participants will leave with strategies they can apply immediately.
