Mattering in a High-Pressure World: Helping Youth Thrive Beyond Achievement Culture

September 30, 2026
6:00 PM EDT - 7:30 PM EDT
This event is for parents and youth of all ages. In many high-performing communities, young people absorb a powerful—and often unintentional—message: that their worth is tied to grades, accolades, and productivity. The result is rising rates of anxiety, burnout, and disconnection, even among kids who are doing everything “right.” This event introduces the concept of mattering—the idea that young people thrive when they feel seen, valued, and connected, not just evaluated. Speaker Stephanie Malia Krauss is an educator and author of How We Thrive: Caring for Kids and Ourselves in a Changing World and Whole Child, Whole Life. Drawing on research and real-world experience, she offers parents, educators, and young people practical ways to push back against achievement culture and create conditions where youth—and the adults who support them—can truly flourish. Bring friends and family.

With so much going on across the state and the country, there is no better time than now to advocate for district-level changes. We'll walk you through how to build your network and how to advocate for change right in your own community. You don't have to be an expert to have an impact. Providing a supportive environment for parents, educators, and professionals to share their struggles and successes is what really matters. When parents realize they are not alone, they can create reasonable norms to adopt in their families, in their schools, and in their communities.

Tech Advisory Committees

October 19, 2026
12:00 PM EDT - 1:00 PM EDT
Delay Smartphones Delay Social Media Phone Free Schools Independence And Play Ed Tech
Most districts don’t have a clear, current, community-informed way to think through their own technology direction — decisions get made department by department, often without anyone connecting healthy defaults, social media practices, grade-band device rules, and AI policy into a single, coherent picture. A TAC doesn’t need formal authority to close that gap; it just needs a standing seat and a real line to the Superintendent. We will talk about how to advocate for one in your district, the strategies you can use and the changes you can advocate for through the TAC. Let's do this!
