A two-day youth leadership event including talks, activities, workshops, and community service.
Featuring Oscar McBride
The goal of this event is to develop the Leader Within!
- The overall goals is to build the leadership skills and efficacy skills of students to improve the climate of their schools, serve their home communities, and foster better mental health and wellness in themselves and their peers.
- The conference is a leadership development conference but specifically designed to empower students as change agents for their own schools/communities to foster school safety and belonging (especially for special needs students and student with disabilities), develop community connections, and increase the mental health and wellness of the entire school.
- Each school team will develop an action plan prior to leaving the conference and school administrators are asked how they will facilitate the action plans upon registration.
Reimbursement: Each district traveling greater than 50 miles each way will be reimbursed, at the state rate, for up to 4 lodging rooms and two vehicles. If your district requires additional rooms or vehicles, that will be the district's responsibility.
Details about this event can be found on the MTSS Youth Days Event Website!

Right Brain Learning Strategies
In-Person: Shelby Public Schools (Room TBD)
Date: April 19, 2023, 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Presenter: Jamie Stubblefield
Want to meet the needs of the struggling learners which have been on your radar for years?
Right Brain Learning Strategies will help you meet the needs of your struggling learners.
In meetings we question a student’s motivation, lack of skill, lack of practice, executive functioning, their memory, etc., but we are not able to put our finger on what the barrier is between the concepts and their ability to learn. This has always bothered me, and I am sure it has bothered you. Fortunately, I was able to find a system that not only explained why this occurs and why students are often misdiagnosed, BUT how to help them correct these blocked learning gates or glitches.
Come get an overview of these strategies and how you can apply them to your current curriculums!
