Learn, Network, and Grow On Your Time, From Anywhere!

Welcome to the 2023 Summer Leadership Series, the ultimate virtual summer professional development experience! This year’s program is packed with options, including interactive and facilitated sessions, that are designed to empower you with new skills and knowledge. With various ticket options so you can participate in the sessions that interest you the most. Join us for a summer of learning focused on ‘maintaining and retaining: fostering a professional growth environment where teachers thrive.’

2023 Theme

Maintaining and Retaining

Folio is your partner in creating an environment of professional growth and learning. Our framework and platform empower school leaders to help their teachers thrive. With many schools reconvening and setting their sights on intentionally building organizational culture, Folio presents an opportunity to reflect on the year and look to the future. Along with convening our exceptional Collaborative network, we will facilitate important and current conversations surrounding the future of maintaining and retaining your school’s team of educators.

Our Keynote Speaker

Dr. Julie Schmidt Hasson

Dr. Julie Hasson is a professor in Leadership and School Administration at Appalachian State University. A former teacher and principal, she now teaches graduate courses in school leadership and conducts qualitative research in schools. Julie’s research on long term teacher impact and classroom culture is the foundation of her books, professional development programs, and TEDx Talk. Her book, Safe, Seen, and Stretched in the Classroom: The Remarkable Ways Teachers Shape Students’ Lives, was published in 2022. Her latest book, Pause, Ponder, and Persist in the Classroom: How Teachers Turn Challenges into Opportunities for Impact, will be released in June 2023. Julie is also the founder of the Chalk and Chances project, a vehicle for celebrating and elevating the teaching profession.

The sessions

Campfire

This year we’re offering educators an opportunity to engage in meaningful storytelling and listening sessions inspired by unique and creative facilitation tools- the Folio Collaborative Campfire Sessions. For those who have experienced our “Birds of a Feather” programming in the past, this is a similar experience open to all registrants.

Folio Fuels

Folio Fuels is back and better than ever! Each Folio Fuel is now a 90 minute interactive workshop. During these sessions, participants will learn from a Folio member school about innovative practices that their school has used to optimize the professional growth process. Then, you will have the opportunity to work with a small group to apply what you have learned at your school.

Fierce Conversations

Fierce Conversations is an instructor-facilitated workshop that provides practical tools and techniques for handling all types of conversations, whether it is running team meetings, coaching, giving feedback, or confronting.

 The 4 Objectives of Fierce Conversations: 1. Interrogate Reality 2. Provoke Learning 3. Tackle Tough Challenges 4. Enrich Relationships

Admin Bootcamp

This is for new myFolio Admins or those restarting their use of Folio and in need of a refresher. Participants receive exclusive access to video guides for the myFolio platform and attend a group coaching call with a cohort of other myFolio Admins and the Folio School Success team.
