9th Annual BIST Vision Team Conference
What Do You Stand For?
BIST held its 9th Annual Vision Team Conference April 26-27 at Grace and Holy Trinity Church in downtown Kansas City. Teams of leaders from 39 different schools throughout Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and Illinois attended with the goal of developing a unified approach for the 2018-19 school year. Collaborating within their own teams, attendees pinpointed what they stand for in working with children and had the opportunity to participate in breakout sessions where they shared best practices with other schools.
