EXPO HALL: EMERGING TECH THEATHER: BOOTH 2555
School Leaders
Have you ever felt like you can't do your actual job because you're too busy babysitting the hallways or making sure students aren't playing in the bathroom? Join us as we look at how SmartPass helped give Rachel Darby her job back as Wedgefield Middle School's Dean of Students—by making it easier to monitor student movement and providing actionable insights. We'll dig into how leveraging this emerging tech helped her:



limit the number of students out of class


empower everyone on campus to (re)engage in the instructional process


lead with data in conversations with parents and students


change the dynamics and culture of her campus



You'll leave with ideas for changing how students move around your campus—and hopefully get you your job back, too!
