Not Your Average Conference
In this season, there are so many conferences, trainings, and workshops out there. So what makes this one different?
Sometimes attending online trainings can feel a little like playing the lottery. You pour over the websites and research the presenters hoping to choose something that will be engaging and practical. Despite my best efforts, I often end up in sessions where the actual content didn't match the description at all or I am left with the question "what's next?". While there is clearly some awesome content to be found in these type of trainings, it all too often requires a lot of effort, and a bit of luck, to find.
We designed this conference to be different!
We have designed each session to be full of engaging content and provide practical applications of the material. All of our sessions are presented by educators and administrators that understand the challenges and rewards of doing this work.
This one of a kind hybrid event will offer live presentations, interactive networking opportunities and access to virtual breakout sessions and recorded keynote sessions through June 1, 2023 so that you can go at your own pace and with what works for your schedule.
For the 6th year of the Trauma-Informed Schools Institute we are excited to offer this conference as a hybrid event with options to attend live, virtually or in collaboration with your team.
Virtual Option:
Attendees that elect to attend the conference virtually will have access to live streams of all keynote sessions, including the opportunity to ask questions and interact with other virtual attendees. Two breakout sessions will be offered virtually during each breakout session time. Virtual attendees can attend live or watch the session replays.
In-person Option:
Attendees that choose to attend the conference in person will have access to all the in-person or virtual sessions. Attendees that want to attend a virtual session live will have the option to participate in that session from their room or common space at the civic center. In-person attendees will also have access to recordings of the sessions to watch after the event.
Department/School Option:
Because we believe that trauma-informed learning is so important, we have created an option for schools and departments to be able to participate in this conference together. So if multiple members of the counseling, social work or student services department at your district are interested in this conference, the department/school option is a great way to access the content at a low per person cost. We do believe that learning happens best in collaboration with others, so we encourage you to participate live and/or bring together a team locally to learn together.
It's time to...
- Recognize how school systems can contribute to the trauma in the lives of students and families and address the role they play in reinforcing harmful cultural narratives.
- Move beyond a canned SEL lesson to an embedded model of social emotional learning that builds the capacity to build relationships, respond to conflict and advocate for equity for both students and staff
- Explore how to leverage trauma-informed and equity work to address anti-racism in your school.
- Build connections with like-minded professionals in education.
Don't miss your chance to participate in the Trauma-Informed Schools Institute!
Location
In person attendees will be convening at the Mayo Civic Center in downtown Rochester, Minnesota. The conference location, hotels and many restaurants are all accessible via indoor skyways and tunnels though the weather will likely still be fallish outside.
Some nearby hotels include the Doubletree, the Hilton Garden Inn and the Kahler Grand.
If you are traveling by air, Rochester is only 70 miles from the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport and accessible by shuttle if you don’t want to rent a car. You would not need a car once you are here as anything you need would be available in the downtown area. Rochester also has an international airport that has flights on both Delta and American Airlines.
As a live attendee, you will still have access to the recording of the sessions of all virtual only sessions. In addition to all the great content, we will have some special interactive sessions with our speakers, along with great food!
