One of our top requests for training this year in our superintendent needs assessment and from our  ALI planning sessions was how we could best use coaching and mentoring to support learning. We also want to do the best job we can as we  recruit and retain a faculty and staff that enables our students and our districts to excel. This event is planned to focus on Coaching and Mentoring and Planning from three distinctly different lens, the strategic planning lens, the recruitment and retention lens, and the program development lens.

We will hear from Annette Tudor, Superintendent of the Year for 2026, Lauren Bush, Attorney for Murfreesboro City Schools, and Kay Martin, Assistant Superintendent in Rutherford County Schools. We will look not only at ways to coach the leaders we have on staff, but also how we can best coach, support and retain both seasoned and new leaders. This event focuses on leading learning, coaching for student success, and strategic planning to create a learning environment that allows for annual growth measures to be achieved. We will learn more about planning, contracts, and benefits, and focus on creating systems of success over time.
