Description

Our keynote for this year's conference is James Moffett. James is an elementary school principal who has created, implemented, and helped others create and implement trauma-informed practices in their schools. Throughout his career, he has taught various demographic groups, observing the differences and similarities in effective instructional and behavioral strategies. Ultimately, James realized what we all know, meaningful relationships enhance behavior and academic success. James started his trauma informed work as the principal of Derby Hills Elementary School in Derby, Kansas, which became a fully functioning trauma informed school. He launched JM Educational Consulting in April of 2019 and traveled across the country sharing the trauma-informed message and practices. This year, James is back in a building, serving as principal at Faris Elementary in Hutchinson, KS, where he has already put his trauma-informed practices into place to better serve the needs of students. He continues to do trauma-informed consulting as well in order to help others reach all students to the best of their ability. Break out sessions will focus on IEP development, challenging behaviors, the importance of school attendance, resilience, trauma informed strategies, educational equity and more. Parent cafes, table talks, and the parent advocacy panel will also be included. For more information, contact: Pam Noble at [email protected] or 877.530.5275 x1343.
