BRANSON, MO (November 8, 2022) – Branson Public Schools hosted the second Tri-Lakes Educational Summit on November 7, 2022. The first conference took place in Fall 2019 at Branson High School. The event welcomed nearly 1,100 certified staff members, paraprofessionals and administrators from Blue Eye, Branson, Forsyth, Hollister, Kirbyville, Reeds Spring and Taneyville school districts for a day of professional development.
Branson’s Director of Technology and Digital Learning, Dr. Michelle Brenner, organized the Summit, with a team of Branson’s technology practicum students helping to run the events of the day. “This is a great event that allows the local Tri-Lakes districts to get together and share best practices,” says Dr. Brenner. “We are close geographically, but love the opportunity to collaborate with our local colleagues.”
Breakout session topics included student-centered learning, positive parent engagement, encouraging student leadership, post secondary preparation and more. Roundtable discussions with assistant principals, librarians, and elementary and secondary teachers provided opportunities for collaboration between districts. Former educator and current author and speaker, Todd Whitaker, delivered the keynote address on excellent classroom management.
