Civic Sparks - Igniting your SEL (Part 1 of 2) LIMITED
Tuesday July 15, 2025 10:30am - 12:00pm EDT
Ready to spark student engagement and build authentic community in your school? In this interactive session, school leaders will experience a fast-paced, hands-on simulation of Project Citizen, one of the Center for Civic Education’s flagship programs that blends civic learning with social-emotional growth. It's experiential learning, authentic assessment, literacy, civic education, all rolled into one amazing curriculum!

Working together, you’ll pick a real-world issue your school community cares about, dig into possible solutions, and design a public policy proposal—with an action plan to match. Then, bring your ideas to life in a “civic showcase” (yes, it’s like a science fair, but way more policy-forward).

Along the way, you’ll practice the same SEL skills students will develop through this program. You’ll leave energized, with a toolkit and game plan to bring Project Citizen back to your staff—and to inspire your students to become changemakers in their communities.

The Two Minute Culture Test
Wednesday July 16, 2025 9:30am - 10:30am EDT
Learn to evaluate team culture in just two minutes! Culture is the foundation of every successful team, but how often do leaders truly step back to evaluate its impact? In The Two Minute Culture Test, we introduce a powerful framework that allows leaders to quickly assess their team’s culture from a third-point perspective. By stepping outside their immediate viewpoint, leaders gain clarity on the true effects of their leadership and the environment they influence.
Developed from work across teams, athletics, schools, and corporations, the Two-Minute Culture Test analyzes positive team culture. Through guided discussions and interactive exercises, participants will explore the 4Cs of Positive Team Culture, a proven approach to building strong, high-performing teams. Leaders will leave with a deeper understanding of their team’s dynamics and practical, actionable steps to elevate their culture immediately.
Key Takeaways:
 A fast and effective method to assess team culture quickly
 A deeper understanding of the 4C’s of Positive Team Culture
 Insight into the impact of leadership from a third-point perspective
 Immediate action steps to strengthen and elevate team culture
Join us and walk away with the tools to create a culture that inspires, empowers, and drives success.
