CATALYST - Coaching and Alignment Toward Adaptive Leadership Yielding Systemic Transformation
Thursday July 10, 2025 1:40pm - 4:10pm MDT
Room #138
This interactive session offers a hands-on introduction to CATALYST, a statewide professional learning experience designed by the UEPC - Utah Education Policy Center in partnership with the Utah State Board of Education (USBE) to support leaders in building coherent, aligned systems that lead to stronger outcomes for students.

In this two-hour session, participants will engage in key elements of the CATALYST professional learning series: exploring leadership principles that drive collective action, using tools for enhancing system alignment, and experiencing strategies to strengthen leadership coaching and mentoring—particularly the relationship between principals and their supervisors. Participants will get a taste of the CATALYST professional learning design, collaborative learning, and practical resources that make it a powerful space for transformation.

Participants will leave with:
* Practical tools and materials used in the CATALYST program
* A deeper understanding of leadership mindsets and moves that foster coherence
* Insights into how CATALYST strengthens principal–supervisor partnerships and builds trust and shared leadership
* A preview of how the statewide CATALYST cohort fosters connection, support, and momentum among school and district leaders
