As you look over the schedule for the day, teachers should select one "topic-based" session (1:10-1:50pm) and one "networking" session (2-2:45pm).

Equipped: Practical Tools for Teachers Managing Mental Health in the Classroom

Friday September 18, 2026 1:10pm - 1:50pm EDT

This session helps teachers understand why today's classroom can feel more emotionally charged than ever before and why that's not a sign they're doing anything wrong. From phones and group messages to travel youth sports and pressure to succeed, the environment kids have to navigate is increasingly more complicated than ever before. This talk empowers teachers to trust the instincts they already bring into the classroom by giving them the framework, language and tools for recognizing and responding to student anxiety and depression. Teachers will leave with straightforward, practical, and easy to apply tools to help guide their students in new ways.
