Welcome to the ASBA’s 71st Annual Conference! We’re happy you have joined us for this opportunity to connect, learn, and celebrate the achievements of Arkansas’s school board members and educators.
To ensure all students are ready for the challenges of tomorrow requires a proactive, data- driven, all-hands-on-deck approach from educators. This session will explore the critical role “Marathon Meetings” have in creating a culture of responsiveness that ensures every student learns at high levels. Participants will learn how to effectively implement “marathon meetings” that identify and respond to students in need of academic, behavior and attendance support. Marathon meetings are intentional, fast-paced and solution focused. Key components of marathon meetings include the importance of all stakeholders attending the meeting, being solution focused, keeping the time requirement, making data-driven decisions, providing targeted interventions, and follow-through. By the end of the session, participants will understand the positive impact marathon meetings have on school culture and student achievement. They will be equipped with the knowledge and tools to implement marathon meetings at their schools.
