The Tulsa Leadership Effectiveness (TLE) framework isn’t just an evaluation tool; it’s a roadmap for professional growth, student-centered instruction, and instructional clarity. In "Empowering Excellence: The TLE Toolkit Unpacked", teachers will explore how to use the TLE rubric to reflect on practice, set meaningful goals, and engage in authentic conversations about instruction.
This hands-on session will break down key indicators, share classroom-aligned tools, and help educators walk away with practical strategies they can use immediately to feel more confident and in control of their professional journey.
For administrators, this session offers practical strategies to support teacher growth with clarity and consistency. Leaders will learn how to translate TLE language into actionable feedback, strengthen coaching conversations, and more effectively connect observations to professional growth - helping shift the TLE process from evaluation to meaningful development.
We will create a classroom environment where learning is exciting, students are self-motivated, get to use their own individual creativity (#1 in raising IQ!) & you have a perfect tool for assessing knowledge!
Great for 3rd - 12th Grades - Any & ALL Subject matters! Including debate & writing.

Do you have an EL student in your class? What about a newcomer? You might benefit from participating in CLASSROOM SUPPORTS FOR ENGLISH LEARNERS. Teachers of English Learners will examine classroom strategies, accommodations, and services in order to better support students.This interactive presentation will offer resources and clarify policy and procedures for how to support English Learners. Much like IEPs, every English Learner has an ELAP - English Language Academic Plan. We will review some of the most commonly recommended accommodations, check out some of our students' ELAPs, and provide a variety of supports for language development.
