This session is designed to help you position your program to keep its clean bill of health and to provide you with the first aid strategies needed in the event of a crisis situation.

2. **Students + Evidence = Impact!** (Session) When students speak, everybody listens…including students. Learn practical strategies to make gathering qualitative and quantitative data a daily part of improving instruction and learning. Take home ready-to-implement ideas for using and sharing student voices through data. Make a plan to involve students in using data to inform and improve practice, while raising and improving program awareness and perceptions.
