Nov. 15th LFNTX – Birdville ISD

We are so excited to host you for the November 15th meeting in Birdville ISD! 

The morning will be full of continuing our work on the Problems of Practice.  LFNTX has challenged us, collectively, to work towards a resolution for one of our identified problems.  We look forward to making progress towards that end.

The afternoon will feature an array of learning:

  • You will participate as the student in two different Artificial Intelligence (AI) mini-professional learnings – one is something you could replicate in delivery for your teachers and one is something you could replicate in delivery for your administrators.
    • Our survey indicated that many of you feel quite confident in utilizing AI.  We want to embrace that and equip you with some PL to help your people.
  • You will enjoy a book tasting over Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter.
    • Only one of you that took our survey had read Multipliers!  We are excited to share with you this wonderful resource.

Please RSVP so that we know you’re coming! 

We have lots of filtered water around the facility, so bring your own refillable water cup as you wish. We’ll have a light breakfast and coffee waiting for you! We also recommend you dress in layers.

We’ll begin at 9:00. Lunch will be from 11:30-1:00.
