Education Innovation Rally 2025

Join Sonora Elementary, a School of Innovation, as we share our journey of increasing student efficacy and achievement through intentional practices that support both academic and executive functioning growth. Discover how we integrate executive function instruction, the Learning Pit framework, and daily Morning Meetings with soft starts to foster a growth mindset, build confidence, and develop the skills students need to thrive.
Participants will explore:

• Executive Function Development: Practical strategies for teaching students to plan, organize, and self-regulate their learning.
  
• The Learning Pit: Guiding students through productive struggle to embrace challenges and achieve deeper understanding.
  
• Daily Morning Meetings with Soft Starts: Creating safe, engaging, and purposeful routines that set a positive tone for learning and connection each day.
  

Learn how these innovative practices work together to empower students, build collective teacher efficacy, and drive measurable increases in student achievement. Leave with actionable ideas and tools to implement in your school community.
