Extreme Curriculum Makeover: How to transform any school into the school of the future nowPresenter: Gabriel Rshaid (St. Andrew’s)
@grshaid https://leadingoutblog.wordpress.com/ Location: HS 407 Educational change is generally expected to be originated top down, via all-encompassing policies or external programs that generally lag far behind the level of awareness of educators about the drivers for change, as well as being vulnerable to forces that result in that the outcomes are, more often than not, out of sync with the times and counter-intuitive to the very rationale for change. Instead of waiting for an institutional tipping point, the talk covers specific strategies to initiate an organic process of change, from the classroom upwards, through specific entry points that allow every teacher in any setting to start developing the school of the future right now.

Teach it Fun!Presenter: Alvaro Peña (Lincoln)
@alvarobiology Location: HS Room 403 Learning needs to be fun. In the last few years I came up with a few class games to use in my classes. Feedback from students and assessment indicate that some of them are both fun and effective teaching tools. I would like to share those games with other teachers, invite them to play and perhaps, learn about other enjoyable ways of teaching. Engagement is a key component of learning. Make it fun and learning will simply happen. LAUNCH-ing Inquiry in the Primary ClassroomPresenter: Elizabeth Toussaint (Uruguayan American School)
@eliztoussaint Location: HS Room 404 In this session, participants will examine current methods of inquiry in their own classroom while simultaneously being introduced to the LAUNCH cycle, a student-friendly design thinking framework developed by educators John Spencer and A.J. Juliani. Workshop attendees will take part in an actual LAUNCH cycle, giving participants the space to become familiar with this particular design thinking model. Through (L) looking, listening and learning, (A) asking questions, (U) understanding the process, (N) navigating ideas, (C) creating a prototype, and (H) highlighting and fixing, participants will learn from each other how design thinking, and other models of student-driven inquiry, can be implemented in the primary classroom. Something happens in students when they define themselves as makers and inventors and creators. They discover powerful skills. 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. The Guided Inquiry CyclePresenter: Tony Bellew (Lincoln)
