Based on current research, the greatest factor for student success is what goes on every day in Kentucky’s classrooms.

The second factor is the principal . . . the support they provide staff for continually improving classroom practice. In order for this to occur, administrators must be able to recognize effective teaching and learning and then provide the support teachers need to be successful. This session will provide instructional specialists, supervisors, coaches, and school administrators strategies for enhancing quality teaching in schools through the use of the Kentucky Department of Education’s (KDE’s) defined five characteristics of Highly Effective Teaching and Learning (HETL): learning climate; classroom assessment and reflection; instructional rigor and student engagement; instructional relevance; and knowledge of content.

This interactive session is designed to give school and district administrators the tools needed to manage and review activity fund accounts from a distance. It also discusses common fraud examples and identifies red flags that may be associated with fraud at the activity fund level.This session will also give detailed instruction and guidance on the uses of and procedures/internal controls related to activity fund monies generated at the individual school level.
