THE OFFICIAL LAUNCH EVENT
TEAM 3
THE TRANSFORMATION TEAM
THREE LEADERS.
THREE LENSES.
ONE MISSION.
Transform Schools. Transform Lives. Transform the Future.
Saturday, October 17, 2026
11:30 AM
For the first time, C.T. Kirk, Welvin Simpkins, and Josh Bovill come together for one dynamic professional learning experience designed to transform instruction, strengthen relationships, and build school cultures where students and adults thrive.
FREE ADMISSION — SPACE IS LIMITED
SCHOOL TRANSFORMATION ISN'T ONE-DIMENSIONAL.
Instruction. Behavior. Relationships. Culture.
Schools often attempt to solve these challenges separately. Team 3 was created around a different belief: lasting transformation happens when we address them together.
Three accomplished educators bring three distinct professional lenses into one coordinated experience so teachers, counselors, support staff, and school leaders can move toward the same vision with practical strategies for their specific roles.
ONE TRANSFORMATION REQUIRES MORE THAN ONE PERSPECTIVE.
THE TEAM 3 MODEL
Three areas of expertise. One coordinated approach to school transformation.
TRANSFORM THE INSTRUCTION
C.T. KIRK
Tier 1 Instruction · Engagement · Relevance · Storytelling · Student Voice · Instructional Creativity
C.T. Kirk equips educators with innovative, immediately usable Tier 1 strategies that make learning relevant, increase engagement, strengthen instruction, and captivate students through powerful storytelling.
Great Tier 1 instruction can be one of our strongest interventions.
TRANSFORM THE RELATIONSHIP
WELVIN SIMPKINS
Relationships · Behavior · Intervention · Student Support · Mentoring · Accountability
Welvin Simpkins helps educators understand the student behind the behavior and strengthen the relationships, interventions, accountability, and support structures needed to reach students with significant behavioral needs.
Behavior tells us something. Transformation begins when somebody cares enough to listen.
TRANSFORM THE CULTURE
JOSH BOVILL
Culture · Systems · Leadership · Consistency · Adult Practices · Sustainability
Josh Bovill helps leaders strengthen the systems, expectations, adult practices, accountability structures, and cultural conditions that shape the student experience across an entire school.
Individual strategies can change a classroom. Aligned systems can change an entire school.

ATSI DESIGNATIONS EXITED
Team 3 brings together practitioners whose work has produced measurable results in real schools. Our approach is rooted in professional experience, implementation, and practical strategies—not theory alone.
These outcomes reflect school-improvement work and systems implemented through Team 3 members' professional leadership experience and do not guarantee identical results for every organization.
THIS ISN'T THREE SPEAKERS GIVING THREE PRESENTATIONS.
IT'S ONE EXPERIENCE TOLD THROUGH THREE LENSES.
The Team 3 launch event introduces attendees to the coordinated model through one dynamic professional learning experience.
INSTRUCTION
Practical Tier 1 strategies educators can use immediately.
RELATIONSHIPS

IF YOU SERVE STUDENTS, THERE'S A SEAT FOR YOU.
TEACHERS
