What are techniques and tools that really help learning stick? In this interactive session, we’ll explore the core learning strategies and share resources about the research behind them. Next, we’ll take a deeper dive into the strategies, especially retrieval practice, and investigate tech tools that can be used to embed these ideas into everyday practices. You'll leave the session with ideas you can implement tomorrow!

For maximum engagement, please bring your device (tablet, laptop, Chromebook).

Data analysis is a critical piece to improving student learning, but to be effective, it must result in a change in practice.  Learn how to use Eduphoria Aware to create better assessments and to efficiently analyze data. In this session, we will design assessments aligned to learning targets and engage in a data analysis protocol.

Participants will need a device and Eduphoria access.

The seven strands of the essential knowledge and skills for English language arts and reading adopted in 2017 are intended to be integrated for instructional purposes. The K-8 TEKS were implemented in 2019-20, and the 9-12 TEKS will be implemented in 2020-21. Although this session is  designed for a K-12 audience, focus will be given to the 9-12 implementation. Participants in this session will carefully analyze the seven strands of the new ELAR TEKS, targeting the interconnected nature of strands and SEs. Session activities will focus on the reading, writing, speaking, listening, and thinking needed in lesson design.

*Please bring a charged electronic device.*

“Questions serve as the central focus of history.  HIstorians investigate questions and develop evidence-based answers to those questions.  It is imperative that historical instruction employ the methodology of “doing history” to ensure a rigorous experience for all students.  Employing the historical inquiry process in Social Studies classrooms promotes student engagement and retention”. (Bruce Lesh, Why Won’t You Just Tell Us the Answer?)

In this session, we will dive into why and how to develop effective questioning strategies for both students and teachers that promote critical thinking and discussion.

How do we develop classrooms where diverse learners are making sense of math? This guiding question will frame this 3-hour session where educators will be provided with effective strategies to support students with disabilities with math instruction. Participants will leave with an understanding of cognitive abilities of students who have specific learning disabilities and their impact on instruction. Additionally, participants will collaborate as they connect core components for excellent math instruction to meet the needs of students with disabilities.

It is recommended that participants bring technology for interactive participation.

Trauma impacts us all!  Participants will discuss adverse childhood experiences, its impact on children and adults, the effects on learning, relating, and developing social emotional skills. Through interactive discussion and video we will begin to learn more appropriate responses to students who have been impacted by trauma, understand trauma safe schools and develop our own set of self-awareness and self-care skills. This is an introductory session to Trauma Informed Care Series.

There will be six hours CEU credit available for LPC and SW. This event is free to all Region 10 schools.
