Chilton ISD Convocation Trainer
Region 12 Education Services Center, 2101 West Loop 340, Waco, Texas
MovementUP lead trainer Ahmad Washington will be providing training on the following topic: Training Title: The Cycle of Connection: Every Student Needs a Cheerleader, a Counselor, and a Coach
This engaging 3-hour professional development session is designed for educators, counselors, support staff, and school leaders who believe relationships are the foundation of meaningful student growth. Rooted in The Cycle of Connection framework, this training introduces the three essential roles every student needs from the adults in their school: a Cheerleader who celebrates them, a Counselor who listens and understands, and a Coach who challenges and equips them.
Participants will learn how to identify these roles in their own practice, how to move between them with intention, and how the cycle builds trust, promotes engagement, and transforms school culture. Through practical tools, reflection, and stories that resonate, this session helps educators reignite their sense of purpose and see each interaction with students as a chance to connect, support, and inspire.
Whether you're leading a classroom, guiding a team, or supporting students behind the scenes, this training will equip you to show up as the kind of adult every student needs—consistently, compassionately, and with lasting impact.
