The Best Practices Conference is a joint project between the Cooperating School Districts and Regional Professional Development Center Advisory Board. Through this yearly conference, participants have the opportunity to hear and learn practitioners from our local schools whose practices are making a difference for students and teachers. This is reflected in increased knowledge, improved skills and academic achievement.

Participants have the opportunity to attend four breakout sessions and also hear Mark McLeod, keynote speaker. Known for his dynamic and motivating presentations, Mark McLeod is a rare speaker who can speak to the heart of a teacher. He knows what it is like to "be in the trenches." Recognized as one of Mississippi’s top school administrators, Mark has shared his expertise at state and national conferences and conducted many workshops and keynotes for schools and districts throughout the United States. As a lifelong educator, his educational experience includes teacher, coach, assistant principal, and principal. He was twice selected as Teacher of the Year for Lumberton Public School District. In 2002, he was selected as Covington County School District’s Administrator of the Year and Mississippi’s Region Four Administrator of the Year.
