  • SUP Practitioner-Focused Workshops These workshops focus on PK-12 practitioner instruction with practical applications. Participants should be actively involved with takeaway ideas and digital or physical resources. These interactive sessions are 1 hour in length. See protocols here.
  • SUP Practitioner-Focused EXTENDED Workshops – NASUP is looking for inspiring and knowledgeable presenters to lead these active, practical, and interactive workshops geared to PK-12 practitioners, but all are welcome! These workshops will be 2-hours in length, allowing time for delving deeply into the topics at hand. The workshops will be held on the opening morning of the conference.  See protocols HERE.
  • SUP Partnership-Focused Interactive Workshops These workshops emphasize collaboration between educational partners such as schools, community organizations, and/or higher education. Sessions should highlight strategies for strengthening partnerships, fostering mutual goals, and enhancing impact across systems. Participants should engage in discussion and idea-sharing, with tangible takeaways or resources provided. These interactive sessions are 1 hour in length.  See protocols here.
  • SUP Roundtable Discussions In a 1 hour time frame, multiple discussions will occur simultaneously with participants able to rotate among discussion groups. Presenters may share their information multiple times within the hour time frame. See protocols here.
