Seats Filled: 9 / 20
Fee: $100.00
Location:RED OAK ISD, RED OAK MIDDLE
Contact Person: Susan Speed
Important Breakout Information:
In sports, coaches train athletes by crafting practices that target the specific area of development. Have you ever wondered, Why do students have such difficulty with problem solving? Or how do I prompt critical thinking and perseverance? This session presents a flip to the “I Do, We Do, You Do” gradual release model to create learning opportunities that engage students in productive struggle. Teacher as facilitator, will walk away with tools to design learning experiences that allow students to grapple with new concepts prompting exploration, meaning making, ownership, and deeper understandings.

Formative Assessment Effective Feedback Feedforward (Gr 3-8)
Seats Filled: 8 / 20
Fee: $100.00
Location:RED OAK ISD, RED OAK MIDDLE
Contact Person: Susan Speed
Important Breakout Information:
Formative Assessment is discovering what students know while they’re still in the process of learning it. Effective Feedback provides students with the kind of feedback that will increase motivation, build on existing knowledge, and help them reflect on what they’ve learned. What is Feedforward you ask? Well, Feedforward is a new and different way to give feedback. It flips the focus from the past to the future. Participants will experience different formative assessment tools to use before, during, and after instruction and develop an understanding of feedback vs feedforward.

Seats Filled: 2 / 20
Fee: $100.00
Location:RED OAK ISD, RED OAK MIDDLE
Contact Person: Susan Speed
Important Breakout Information:
This workshop will provide teachers with an understanding of NCTM’s eight effective mathematics teaching practices, how they can be implemented in the classroom, and what can be gained from making them a part of one’s daily teaching practice. As an overview of the eight practices, teachers will engage in a set of activities (e.g., exploring rich mathematical tasks, analyzing narrative and video cases of classroom instruction, analyzing student work samples) that will highlight the practices. The material discussed in this session will be drawn from NCTM’s Principles to Actions: Ensuring Mathematical Success for All and Taking Action: Implementing Effective Mathematics Teaching Practices in Grades 9-12.
