2021 Fall Conference Materials
2021 MASA Fall Conference Handouts
September 27-28 • Duluth Entertainment Convention Center (DECC)
In March, 2020, MASA members gathered for our conference amidst rumblings about the COVID virus. We avoided handshakes and hugs, and were liberal in our use of hand sanitizer. We ended the conference on Friday, and on Sunday the Governor announced formally what we all suspected: the world of public education had changed. In the months to follow, we tackled a new list of challenges, read pounds of government guidance, and added new terms to our leadership lexicon (PPE, masking, distancing, contact tracing, herd immunity, flattening the curve, and so on). Now, about a year and a half later, we are “restarting.” While we contemplate our new reality as it pertains to the status of the pandemic, we consider the opportunity to provide excellent instruction with equity at its center. We know that lessons have emerged – and continue to develop – as a result of the pandemic challenge. Our most important take-away: schools are up to the task. Join your colleagues this fall, in person, and explore what we learned, how we are different, and how we will experience our next normal in Minnesota public education.
Keynote Speakers:
Tough year, resilient leaders: Learning for the Next Normal
Katie Pekel, Principal in Residence, University of Minnesota and Sebastian Witherspoon, Executive Director, Equity Alliance MN
Handout: Educational Equity: Good for All Students
