2021 ADVISOR WORKSHOP
September 19 and 20, 2021
Embassy Suites and Conference Center, San Marcos, TX

Separate strands are offered for National Honor Society
& Texas Association of Student Councils

Anyone who works with student activities will benefit from this workshop!

HOW ABOUT DOING SOMETHING JUST FOR YOURSELF?

First, we take care of the advisors.
Then we prepare advisors to take care of the students.
Because doing the same thing we did before,
will not bring us the same success this year!
  • While we are all thrilled to be back in school face to face, it's almost like being a new teacher. Dare to Lead training is designed for anyone who wants to learn how to enhance skills and become a braver, more daring leader. Let's begin with that.
  • You will get to choose breakouts and table shares based on exactly what you need (as new or experienced advisors) and end our workshop with Scott Backovich who will give you a plan for beginning a new year in the best way possible.
  • Then spend time with Houston Kraft and John Norlin (CharacterStrong) in some connection activities that will have us laughing and prepared for reconnecting in schools.
  • Terri Johnson, the absolute best on resources, ideas, and joyful leadership joins us from the Missouri Association of Student Councils to provide that “boots on the ground” expertise you need.
  • Learn from TASC partners like Work2BeWell, Dude. Be Nice, and Rachel’s Challenge as we work on our Roadmap to Wellness.
