    Welcome from the UIL academic staff with an overview of the conference followed by a keynote speaker.

    KEYNOTE: Learning to Lean In: The People Priority Shift That Elevates Educator Impact.

    In the fast-paced world of education and all things UIL, it’s easy to get caught up in performance, results, and the next competition.

    What if the key to stronger results wasn’t more strategy, but a deeper investment in your people?

    Previous educator, Julie Schniers, challenges coaches to rethink what it means to LEAN IN as a leader. Through the lens of Communication, Connection, and Confidence, you’ll explore how small, intentional shifts can create stronger teams, more engaged students, and a culture that sustains success.

    This isn’t about adding more to your plate... it’s a reminder of the power you have as a leader who is willing to LEAN IN.
