Location: HS Room 404 Building the reflective capacity of teachers within a school is critical to improving student learning. In most school systems, however, the teacher supervision (growth) process is led by building principals who, despite best intentions, only observe a teacher in action two or three times per year (less than 1% of the time a teacher is teaching). In this interactive workshop focused on teacher supported teacher growth, participants will learn how to use teaching standards to grow professionally and improve student learning. Every participant will leave with a plan that includes self-identified specific areas of improvement, a method to organize and collect evidence, and skills to engage in reflective conversations. Participants are encouraged to bring a colleague with them to continue the work after the workshop ends. Technology in the Math ClassroomPresenter: Veronica Bradham (Lincoln)
@vbradham Location: HS Room 405 This workshop will cover different strategies, tools and apps that will allow math teachers to go GREEN in their classroom. Strategies vary from presentation ideas to collaborative investigation projects utilizing google classroom, google drive, padlet, collaborative mind maps and more. I will also introduce some of the technology I've used in class, their pros and cons and troubleshooting solutions. Material will be focused on math content, but can be easily adapted to other subjects. Integrating Art and Geometry - Make your own Kaleidoscope DesignPresenter: Amy Rumph (BAICA)
