Who’s ready to rock the 2025 lead4ward Rockin’ Review conference?
Get ready for another high-energy, game-changing experience centered on the powerful lead4ward 10-day review framework – the same one you know and love! This year, we’re digging deep into STAAR data, released STAAR items, and instructional implications to help you build review plans that laser-focus students on what they need for STAAR success. With creative strategies to sharpen transfer, writing, vocabulary, visuals, thinking, and comprehension, you’ll leave ready to tackle all STAAR item types with confidence!

 

So, what’s in store for the 2025 Rockin’ Review conference?
We’re bringing fresh, innovative strategies to get students thinking at every level required for STAAR success. Plus, you’ll walk away with everything you need to bring these strategies to life in your district and on your campus! That’s right – 2025 attendees get completed 10-day plans for every content area, including pre-made, course-specific instructional strategies already populated and ready to use with kids during review! (Yes, you read that right, completed 10-day plans with instructional strategies!) Oh, and don’t miss out on our optional virtual extension days that will focus on planning for the implementation of the ready to use 10-day STAAR review in reading, math, and supporting Spanish test-takers!

 

As in previous years, Rockin’ Review is designed for campus teams to learn and grow together. We recommend bringing a crew with at least one teacher from each content area and a campus leader. Choose from sessions in leadership, math, reading language arts, science, social studies, or special education, and stay immersed in your chosen content throughout the conference.

 

Here’s what we’ll be rocking out to!

In the leader and content-area sessions, we’ll:

  • Target high-impact TEKS clusters for focused review
  • Fire up learners with engaging, high-energy strategies
  • Work through planning that prioritizes visuals, engagement, thinking,
    comprehension, writing, and knowledge transfer 
  • Arm you with the resources to roll out a 10-day review that gets results 

 

In our special education sessions, specifically designed for inclusive settings, we’ll:

  • Focus on prioritizing content and vocabulary for students with learning differences
  • Turn effective learning strategies into allowable supports
  • Seamlessly weave supplemental aids into the review process
  • Foster meaningful collaboration between special educators and classroom teachers

 

Extend your STAAR review experience!

Have you ever left a training wishing for a little more time to review the material, plan for implementation, and collaborate with colleagues? We have the perfect solution! This year we’re offering optional, virtual extension sessions after the Rockin’ Review conference to support your implementation of the ready-to-use 10-day STAAR review in reading language arts, math, and with Spanish test-takers!

  • These half-day sessions provide additional time to explore lead4ward’s planned SET lists and pre-populated strategies by content area.
  • Led by our math, reading language arts, and emergent bilingual experts, you’ll gain clarity on instructional strategies, selected content and resources, timing, pacing, and grade-level specifics.
  • Simply select your preferred date/time and add your virtual extension STAAR Review experience to your registration (additional fee applies).

 

Let’s gear up for an unforgettable Rockin’ Review! You won’t want to miss this!
