Building Your AP Program Webinar Series: Make Honors Count, Earn Recognition Colleges Trust
Deciding which AP courses to offer, and where they fit best, is one of the most consequential choices a school or district makes for student access. The Building Your AP Program Webinar Series is designed to support that work, introducing the new AP® Course Sets as a practical way to match AP courses to the priorities you are already pursuing, whether that is expanding access with a first AP course, adding a nationally recognized AP signal to your honors courses, or bringing college-level AP courses into your CTE pathways. Each session gives those who shape course offerings, from district leaders and content specialists to school leaders and AP coordinators, a clear starting point for building a program that reflects local goals. This session, Make Honors Count, begins with the rigorous work already happening in your classrooms, where students take demanding honors courses that colleges cannot always see. We will show how converting select honors courses to AP makes that rigor visible through a nationally recognized signal, why an AP course is often easier for colleges to interpret than honors alone, and how the shift strengthens the academic record students present in admissions. You will leave with strategies to build your AP program focused on recognition, including how to identify which honors courses are the strongest candidates to convert, so more students stand out for the advanced work they are already doing. By participating in this event, you consent to being recorded and you agree that College Board may publish the recording on College Board’s website and share the recording with those who register for this event.

Social-Emotional & Behavioral MTSS: Building a Trauma-Informed System of Support
If it feels like your school is constantly reacting to behavior instead of preventing it, you're not alone, and there's a better way forward. Strategies alone don't transform schools; effective systems do. A strong social-emotional and behavioral MTSS creates the conditions where students feel safe, connected, and ready to learn, and where educators feel equipped, not overwhelmed. Participants will learn how to build a coherent, schoolwide system of support that is proactive, practical, and trauma-informed, grounded in what we know about adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and the mindset shift of behavior as communication. Attend live in person at NIU Naperville, live online, or on demand for 30 days. Fees: PD365 members $269; non-members $359 (includes one year of membership); students/retirees $99. Virtual attendance requires a minimum of 10 total attendees. The published schedule does not state a time zone; the displayed time assumes Central Time.

Session 3: Improving Student ROI is Everyone's Job: How Higher Education Roles and Functions Shape Student Economic Mobility
Student return on investment and economic mobility cannot be improved by a single office, initiative, or data dashboard. Meaningful change requires coordinated action across academic affairs, advising, career services, workforce programs, enrollment management, institutional research, and faculty. Drawing on lessons from the Designing for Economic Mobility Metrics Academies, this session explores how different institutional functions contribute to student ROI and economic mobility outcomes, and how leaders can build the structures, relationships, and shared understanding needed to move from data to action.

Can You Predict Your Next Teacher Shortage?
If you knew today which staffing gaps could threaten your district’s priorities next year, what would you do differently? Teacher shortages are often treated as an HR challenge. But when staffing gaps affect class sizes, special education services, program growth, student outcomes, budgets, and district priorities, they become a leadership challenge. District leaders already have signals that can help them anticipate where staffing risk is building. Certification timelines, recurring vacancies, turnover patterns, hard-to-staff roles, and internal talent pipelines can all provide an earlier view of where shortages may emerge. In this timely conversation, superintendents and district leaders will explore how to use those signals to look ahead, identify areas of potential staffing pressure, and make earlier decisions about where to recruit, develop, or retain educators — moving from reacting to vacancies to planning 6–18 months ahead. Bring your HR lead.
