| | Leila Kubesch is a trailblazer in family engagement and student advocacy. After realizing that well-meaning efforts weren't reaching the families who needed support the most, Leila took action, visiting over 800 homes of her students, including immigrant and refugee families. What she discovered redefined her leadership and reshaped the school culture.
Today, Leila equips school leaders with the insight, humor, and heart needed to turn intention into impact. Sometimes our best efforts fall short - especially when driven by assumptions rather than relationships. Leila will share how she gave her all to support students, only to discover she'd overlooked the very people who could have helped the most: their families. You'll go on a journey through real stories, missteps, and the surprising lesson learned from socks! |
