ESC-20 LIFT/IS Component Days

This session centers on raising the bar for gifted and talented learners within the Bluebonnet Learning framework. Consultants will focus on how to support teachers in moving beyond access to intentionally designing and facilitating rigorous, high-level learning experiences that challenge advanced learners. Participants will leave with practical coaching strategies and tools to help districts consistently elevate expectations and outcomes for GT students.

The bottom line is this... To truly raise the bar, we must ground ourselves first in TCMPC. This session empowers consultants to transition from mere alignment to instructional excellence. We’ll explore how a deep mastery of the system drives student success. Join us to refine your consulting expertise, elevate district practices, and establish a new gold standard for educational achievement across the state.

The 2026–2027 school year brings a significant policy shift in how emergent bilingual students are described and supported — and as instructional consultants, we are the bridge between that change and the educators who need to act on it.
This focused 75-minute session builds the shared foundation our team needs to lead with clarity and confidence. We’ll examine what changed in the new ELPS and Proficiency Level Descriptors and what it means for the K–12 educators we support across content areas. Participants leave with a working understanding of the key shifts, a shared language, and the readiness to move campuses from awareness to action.
When our consultants are fluent in the new ELPS — our Region 20 school systems can be too.
