Education Leaders Annual Conference 2025

School administrators from across the state came together at this premier event to gain insights from nationally renowned speakers, participate in practical educational sessions, and connect with colleagues. Attendees also had the opportunity to explore one of Illinois’ largest exhibitions tailored specifically for school administrators, discovering the latest resources and innovations to support their schools.

Scott Weidig presenting at the Education Leaders Annual Conference.

This month’s professional development session focused on unpacking the concept of social deprivation from The Anxious Generation and its impact on student engagement. Staff discussed how cell phone use deepens social disconnection by amplifying the fear of being wrong or dismissed, ultimately silencing participation and weakening authentic connection. The session provided strategies to help students work collaboratively by using structured conversations and creating cultures where everyone feels heard and valued.
