2025 AAEA Summer Conference

A strong school culture doesn’t happen by accident — it happens by design. In this interactive session, building administrators will explore how to intentionally align academic and behavior systems to create a thriving school environment where students and staff can flourish. Participants will examine the critical intersections between instructional practices, behavior expectations, and social-emotional supports. Through collaborative reflection and practical examples, leaders will learn how to foster a culture where learning and behavior systems don’t compete — they complement and reinforce one another. Walk away with strategies to clarify your vision, align your teams, and build systems that create consistency, belonging, and growth for all.
