In this session, we’ll set up the week by looking at what math assessments look like today and what’s needed to support students and teachers and to move every student toward success in math class and beyond.

Thinking in Steps: Making Math Work for Students With Executive Function Challenges
This session helps teachers recognize where math classrooms unintentionally overload working memory, organization abilities, and task initiation, since executive function challenges can quietly block student success, even when conceptual understanding is strong. Participants will learn targeted intervention strategies, such as how to design lessons that externalize steps, reduce decision fatigue, and support planning without removing rigor. The focus is on making thinking visible, a practical intervention that lets students focus their energy on reasoning, not survival.
