Rigor Through Relationships: Join Us for the 3rd Annual SEL and Mental Wellness Symposium

There is something transformative that happens when educators gather with a shared purpose. When we prioritize the well-being of our students and ourselves, we unlock a level of academic excellence that simply cannot be reached through curriculum alone. It is about the heart of the work.

I am thrilled to announce that discounted early registration is now officially open for our 3rd Annual Social Emotional Learning and Mental Wellness Symposium. We will be gathering in Port Clinton on Friday, March 20th, and I can promise you that this year is going to be our best yet.

A Masterclass in Leadership: Props to Joe Miller

Before we dive into the lineup, I want to take a moment to give massive props to Joe Miller. Joe is an amazing High School ELA teacher here in Port Clinton, and he is the engine behind this entire event. His vision and dedication to the profession are the reasons we are entering our third year of this incredible symposium.

In fact, I am interviewing Joe tonight to help promote the event and share some of his insights. He is a true example of what it means to lead from the classroom, and I can’t wait for you to hear our conversation.

Keynotes That Will Inspire Your Practice

We have assembled a world-class lineup to help us explore our theme: Rigor Through Relationships.

  • Morning Keynote: Casey Cuny

    Casey is the 2024 California Teacher of the Year and one of the most respected voices in education today. He will be presenting “SEL, AI, and the New Era of Rigor Through Relationships.” In an age of rapidly shifting technology, Casey shows us how to stay grounded in what matters most.

  • The Wired Educator Live: During the symposium, I will be hosting a live episode of The Wired Educator Podcast featuring an interview with Casey Cuny. This will be a unique opportunity to see a deep-dive conversation happen in real time.

  • Afternoon Keynote: Kurt Russell

    We are honored to welcome the 2022 National Teacher of the Year. Kurt’s presentation, “Many Rivers to Cross,” focuses on the essential work of student-centered learning and ensuring every child sees themselves reflected in their education.

A Powerhouse of Breakout Speakers

Beyond our keynotes, we have dozens of experts from across the state and country. Our breakout sessions feature a “who’s who” of educational leadership, including:

  • Paul LaRue: President of the State Board of Education.

  • The Ohio Teachers of the Year: We are joined by Chris Monsour (2026), Daneé Pinckney (2025), and Mark Lowrie (2024).

  • Specialists: Award-winning authors, licensed professional clinical counselors, and school resource officers.

Join Us in Port Clinton

This is more than just a professional development day. It is a day to recharge and refocus. Every attendee receives a continental breakfast, lunch, and 6.5 contact hours.

I encourage you to put together a team of teachers, counselors, and administrators. Working together as a district team is the best way to bring these ideas back to your hallways and classrooms.

Visit the SEL Symposium Website to see the full list of speakers and Register for the Symposium today to take advantage of the early bird rates.

I look forward to seeing you in Port Clinton on March 20th as we continue to build a culture of rigor through the power of relationships.

You are awesome!
