Curriculum (9:00-11:30)
Leading Learning: An Instructional Leadership Framework for Student Success
High-quality Tier I instruction begins with strong instructional leadership. This session introduces The Four Questions of Instructional Leadership, a practical framework that principals can use to guide instructional leadership decisions, classroom observations, instructional coaching, collaborative planning, and school improvement efforts.
Participants will explore four essential questions that serve as the foundation for effective instructional leadership.
Using this framework, principals will examine how the Archdiocese of Cincinnati Course of Study and its accompanying resources including priority standards, proficiency scales, instructional planning guides, curriculum maps, common assessments, and learning standards checklists work together as a cohesive instructional system that supports high-quality, standards-based teaching and learning. Future sessions will take a deeper dive into each question and the resources that support it.
Principals will leave with a practical instructional leadership framework and actionable strategies for supporting teachers, strengthening Tier I instruction, and building systems that promote continuous improvement and student success.
Assessment (12:30-3:00)
Your Data Has a Story: Understanding Your School Through Demographic, Perception & Process Data
Numbers alone rarely tell the whole story. This session explores how demographic, perception, and school process data help leaders understand the context behind student outcomes. Participants will learn how enrollment trends, attendance, stakeholder feedback, instructional practices, and organizational systems influence school performance. Using guided protocols, leaders will begin identifying patterns and asking better questions that move beyond assumptions toward root cause analysis.

The Saintly Seven Series
2026-09-20 13:30 - 15:00 UTC | St. Benedict the Moor, 519 Liscum Dr., Dayton, OH, 45417, United States
Were you aware that there are seven African American candidates for canonization? The lives of these holy men and women span the nearly the entire existence of the United States as an independent nation—from Pierre Toussaint, born in 1766, through Thea Bowman, who died in 1990. It will be a truly thrilling day when we celebrate the canonization of the first African American saint!
To grow awareness of the lives of the Saintly Seven over the coming months, the Archdiocesan Anti-Racism Task Force is organizing seven sessions throughout the Archdiocese to talk about their lives, their causes for canonization, and the experience of Black Catholics in this nation. The sessions will be in-person and live-streamed so that everyone can join in the conversation and reflection. In conjunction with the presentations, each candidate will be featured in the Catholic Telegraph as well. The series will conclude in November, Black Catholic History Month—reminding us that a single month is not sufficient to honor the contributions that Black Catholics have made to our Church and our nation since before its founding.
