The 2024 DCI Summit theme is Igniting Excellence!

DCI Summit 2024 Objectives

By the conclusion of the summit, district attendees will better understand the following.

  1. Building a system and environment that promotes culture first and learning second, leading to higher achievement
  2. Developing key actions in developing teaching and learning as the dominant narrative
  3. Aligning effective teaching and learning to evaluate the evidence of our impact
  4. Developing and supporting collective responsibility

Presentation Information

In addition to a nationally known key-note speaker, the DCI Summit features high-quality concurrent sessions presented by Missouri educators sharing successful practices. These sessions are a highlight to presenters and participants alike!

2024 Proposals

We invite Missouri educators to submit a proposal outlining a session to present at the summit.

  • Districts can submit more than one proposal, can include a team of presenters, and can also team up with their DCI Coaches
  • Be creative – think about what you’d want to hear about and think about sharing your successes and struggles
  • Join in the fun – make sure your title aligns with our Olympic-ish theme

As we have fewer slots available this year, due to the shortened timeframe of the summit, submitted proposals will be evaluated using the following criteria:

  • Alignment to the purpose and theme of the summit
  • Alignment to summit objectives
  • Impact on student or teacher learning
  • Can be adapted/adopted to various district settings
  • Scoring Guide
  • Timeline
    • The deadline for submission is April 1, by 11:59 p.m. (Central Time). A team of experienced educators and administrators will review and score proposals. You will be notified by April 15 regarding selection.
  • Submit your proposal today: http://forms.gle/nBee3WXKSv4BQpgg7
