Ahmad Washington will be leading workshops at Midway ISD's Back to School summit on the following subjects: 1. Title: Ain’t Nothing Mid About Me: Leveling Up as an Educator Description: This session introduces the A5 Model (Awareness, Acceptance, Adjustments, Action, Accountability) to help educators operate at their highest level. We’ll explore how to own your strengths, navigate your limitations, and lead with purpose. You’ll walk away with practical ways to show up fully—mentally, emotionally, and professionally—for yourself, your students, and your team.
Title: Relational Supervision: Leading Without Losing Your "Why" Description: For administrators and team leaders who don’t want to forget what it’s like in the trenches—this session equips you to supervise relationally without blurring professional boundaries. Learn to recognize your leadership values, identify pressure responses in staff using Flight Assessment insights, and practice the 4F Framework for accountability and conflict resolution. Build a team culture that’s high on trust and performance.
Title: Nothing Mid About My Connections: How to Cheer, Counsel, and Coach Every Student Description: Connection isn’t a soft skill—it’s a success strategy. Explore the Cycle of Connection framework and discover how to intentionally engage students as a Cheerleader, Counselor, and Coach. Learn how to spot disconnection early, respond in meaningful ways, and help students feel seen, supported, and stretched toward their best.
Title: Nothing Mid About My Self-Care: How to Actually Benefit from a Break Description: Tired of returning from breaks more drained than before? Learn to reset using the 5R Framework: Rest, Refuel, Reflect, Retool, and Refocus. This session helps you build rhythms that nourish your soul, sharpen your skills, and reignite your purpose. Because an educator on empty can’t fill anyone else.
