Students need more than technical know-how to succeed in tomorrow’s workforce. They need communication, problem-solving, and leadership skills, and a clear picture of the careers where those skills matter.
Hear from Ian Brown, math educator and author of the popular comic book I Hate Math, as he presents ways to address and alleviate math anxiety for your K–5 students. Matt will share how he helps students who genuinely dislike math, describing how he helps them get to a place where math success feels manageable and achievable, using storytelling, humor, and metaphors to make abstract concepts more concrete.
Having the wrong answer isn’t something to be ashamed of! It’s an opportunity to investigate and celebrate student thinking. Join math leader Mike Flynn of Flynn Education as he explains the power behind making mistakes and encouraging guided discovery, helping students achieve greater comprehension through curiosity, productive struggle, and meaningful discussion.
In this workshop, teachers will explore a life science phenomenon to develop an understanding of how the practices of questioning, modeling, and data analysis support students in building content knowledge. Together teachers will consider places in their curriculum where phenomena and science practices can support students in building content knowledge.
