Questions? Ask Away!
What if the dates don't work for my schedule?
We totally understand that many will have started school, will be on a well deserved vacation, and/or may have other obligations on August 8-10th. Don’t worry…we’ve got you covered. Almost every session will be recorded and posted within about 24 hours of the live event to your SLI customized dashboard.
Is SLI right for me? I'm a Director, Educator, Family Member, Principal, Related Service Provider...
If you are reading this, the answer is likely, YES! The Summer Leadership Institute is really for anyone involved in education who wants to learn alongside inclusion eperts, renew their passion, and ensure their district enacts policies and practices that recongize inclusion as a right…not a rite-of-passage.
SLI is particularly impactful when many different folx from a district attend, including those who have decision-making power, those who know children and students best, and those who work-day-to-day to make inlcusion a reality across educational experiences.
District teams who have benefited the most from SLI have included team members representing traditional “silos” of general and special education, district leaders, related service providers, district coaches and inclusion facilitators, and even board members and consultants. It’s an effective way to get everyone headed in the same direction and to see where systemic changes are needed.
We also highly encourage in the involvement of families and other key community partners to join district-based teams. Families and community partners play a critical role in achieving any inlcusive dream.
How long will I have access to the reorded content?
SLI 2022 is designed to get you taking action and seeing results right away. But unlike a in-person conference, you can come back to the material again and again as the stages and seasons of your life change.
The main sessions, the bonus sessions, and all the handouts are yours to keep for the entire 22-23 school year for those with a district-license.
Those who purchased single seats will have access to the recordings and dashboard with resources through September 2022.
Can we pay using a PO or a CC?
You bet! Contact Liz from our team to process a PO (for individual seats or a district-wide license). Visit our website to get an individual seat or district-wide license.
What if we are ZOOM’d out?
While Zoom fatigue is a real thing…it doesn’t mean that we can have fun. This virtual event is not like anything you’ve attended before. We have so many tricks for creating meaningful virtual gatherings. We promise you will be surpised how much fun we have even through a screen! Don’t beleive us? Checkout the reviews from last year.
What if we have a large group or a small district?
The best thing you can do, even for a small district is invest in the district-wide license.
