Educators at all grade levels understand that what happens inside the classroom is deeply connected to students’ personal, emotional, and mental well-being outside the classroom. Although there has been a massive focus in education recently on issues such as trauma and equity, there is a clear and urgent need to adopt an evolved model of schooling that can approach the problem from a strength-based perspective.

Work with the authors of this telling and timely book to explore the complex interplay between mastery, culture, and trauma in an innovative framework that has the potential to completely transform the narrative of traditional education. Learn how to shift the perspective away from time-based, curriculum centered schools to creating and resilience-centered educational models that can help take students and teachers to higher levels of learning for all.

In career and technical education (CTE), success isn’t about time spent in a lab—it’s about what students can do. Join Dr. Mike Ruyle along with Connecticut district leaders Dr. Nicole Walsh and Tonya Stoute as they dive into how proficiency scales and mastery learning principles can create clarity for teachers and students, ensuring alignment with both academic and technical competencies.
