Class of ’86: A Pedagogical Time-Warp to the Future of Learning

Wednesday June 3, 2026 10:20am - 11:20am MDT

2313

Dust off your high-tops and grab your walkman—we’re going back to 1986 to discover the future of Tier 1 instruction! This high-energy session uses the iconic cinema of 40 years ago to decode the modern frameworks that drive student success today. We’ll look at how the "Class of ’86" can teach us to remove learning barriers through Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and boost engagement using the 5 C’s—Control, Collaboration, Challenge, Choice, and Caring. Whether you’re channeling the leadership of Maverick or the autonomy of Ferris Bueller, you’ll walk away with actionable strategies that align with CSD’s MTSS framework, ensuring every student in your "brat pack" has the support they need to thrive. Don't be "left behind" in the past; join us for a nostalgic deep dive that will leave you ready to "move the stars" for your students!.
