🎤 Saturday Spotlight Session

Get ready to stay locked in! 🔐 Join Sierra Wessels of .sierra & Grace Arganbright for “Locked In: Engagement Strategies That Work”—a session designed to help you keep students focused, energized, and actively involved from bell to bell.

Teaching in long blocks (or honestly, any class length!) can be a challenge when attention spans are stretched thin—but this session is packed with practical, classroom-tested strategies to help you maintain momentum, build engagement, and create a lesson flow that works. You’ll walk away with tools you can implement immediately to boost participation and keep your students truly “locked in.”

✨ If you’ve ever felt the mid-class slump or struggled to sustain energy and attention, this session is for you.
