The Carnegie Learning Classroom 101Bring your student hat and teacher hat to this session! Experience a Carnegie Learning demonstration lesson as a student to build an understanding of what a Carnegie Learning classroom should look like, sound like, and feel like. Then put on your teacher hat to debrief the role of the facilitator during the lesson, the observed teacher moves, and the potential impact on student learning.

Getting Them to Eat Peas When All They Want Is Ice CreamThis breakout session unpacks what works best to engage students in relevant and rigorous learning. By blending the science of how we learn with classroom practice, develop a toolkit for grabbing and maintaining student engagement at all three levels (behavioral, emotional, and cognitive), while at the same time increasing learning outcomes. Practicing what we preach, take part in an out-of-your-seat experience that models the promising principles from science of learning for deep thinking and understanding; simple to complex, concrete to abstract, and the idea that memory is the residue of thought.

Making Instructional Decisions on a Daily Basis:Lesson Planning with Carnegie Learning ResourcesAnyone who has used Carnegie Learning materials for more than a week knows how much content is stuffed into each lesson! One of the most difficult parts of implementing is making those daily decisions about what to do and what not to do. Join us for a hands-on, interactive session focused on making the most of your lesson planning. Discover a 5-step process designed to help you be intentional about planning each and every lesson in a way that won’t have you spending entire weekends doing so!

Supporting and Managing the ShiftIs your job supporting teachers as they implement Carnegie Learning’s instructional materials? If so, come join the conversation and discuss strategies to facilitate and promote meaningful mathematics in your classrooms.

From Snorkelers to Scuba Divers: The Role of Feedback in Fostering Deep Thinking Students“Is this going to be on the test?” “Why do we have to know this?” “Is this for a grade?” “Can you tell me what I need to do to get this right?” These questions haunt each and every teacher that is on the receiving end of such inquiries. When teachers use effective feedback that fosters and nurtures engagement, questions like these evaporate from our schools and classrooms while our students deep dive into learning. This workshop shows you how! You will experience targeted and specific strategies for using feedback to find the right level of rigor, striking the ideal balance between surface and deep learning, and identifying the perfect level of challenge for each student. You will also take part in an out-of-your-seat experience that models these principles for deep thinking and understanding.

The Truth About Mathematical ModelingAsk anyone what it means to model with mathematics and you will get different responses each time. As we look at a set of K–12 modeling activities that spark deeper understanding of math, we uncover what it means to meet the demands of Math Practice 4 (model with mathematics) and how to support students as they develop the ability to model with mathematics.

The Tech-Savvy Teacher: Tools to Increase Your Effectiveness in the ClassroomLet’s explore a variety of online tools for increasing student engagement and achievement! Join us as we explore both mathematical tools and general tools that can be used for formative assessment, mathematical investigations, and student collaboration.

Creating a Community of Collaborators:Activities and Routines to Promote Student CollaborationWhat does it mean to collaborate? How can we help students see the importance of collaboration? What can we do to facilitate the development of skills and characteristics needed for student collaboration? We answer these questions, and more, as we look at activities and routines that help set the foundation for the student-centered, collaborative classroom environment.

The Math Leader’s Domains of ResponsibilitySchool principals and other school and district leaders face enormous challenges in the realm of elementary, middle, and high school mathematics. The issues teachers face today in providing high-quality mathematics programs are not trivial. This session explores the four core components of math programs that are at the heart of ensuring program quality and producing high levels of student achievement.

Tools for Teaching and Learning: Teacher ClarityThis breakout session unpacks what is meant by teacher clarity. Take an in-depth look at how to make learning visible to each and every student in the classroom. This action-packed, edge-of-your-seat workshop builds understanding of the relationship between teacher clarity and student learning in my classroom. This workshop addresses classroom and student engagement in a cognitively rich environment making sure that students remain engaged in relevant content, regardless of the medium. Topics include goals, learning intentions, success criteria, opportunities to respond, and effective feedback.
