How can we teach students about the importance of data? This hands-on conversation will integrate math, science, arts, and creativity to introduce a relatable way to teach data, identify patterns, and correlations. Educators will walk away from this session with simple tools to integrate data into every subject in all grades.
How to continually challenge advanced readers in early grades? By designing personalized reading units that combine reading and writing, assess for skills mastery through engaging virtual games, foster independence, and interdisciplinary connections. Participants will design their units and will be introduced to baskets of reading and vocabulary assessment tools.
Write outside during a conference about the future and the now of schools? YES! Join us to explore what it means to be human when living, learning, and teaching alongside machines. What better way to explore and embrace our questions about the implications of AI and other technologies than to go outside and write together.
Educators in various school roles—principals, tech specialists, librarians, and more—can support teachers by adopting coaching techniques. This interactive session invites participants to explore facilitative, dialogical, and directive coaching styles through role-play, reflection, and collaborative resource-building, empowering them to foster growth and innovation in their schools.
Walking into our space, visitors exclaim that, “It feels different in here!” We break down with you our big decisions and many micro choices that have led to the creation of a human-centered learning space focused on community, respect and support for each other and divergent ideas.
Research shows that critical conversations push white teachers to understand their own identities and the identities of their minoritized students. The SEED project uses Windows and Mirrors to foster dialogue, enhancing cultural competence. This conversation will share findings on white educators' growth after SEED. Participants will also experience SEED protocols.
