The purpose of this session will be to introduce different resources and methods of incorporating data literacy techniques into the classroom. This session will include an overview of what data literacy is and what resources are available for it. Along with reviewing techniques used in relation to digital literacy. The goal for the end of the session is for every member of the session to walk away with a plan of how to incorporate data literacy into at least one lesson. We will show examples of different ways to incorporate it into the classroom. For example having the students look at a graph during notes or as a warm up. Along with having the students create their own based on data they collected.

In this session, we will explore some useful formulas in Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel which can be used to compile and organize data to aid in the process of analysis. We’ll also call upon the services of our friend, ChatGPT, to bring your spreadsheet visions to life. This session is designed for those with some foundational understanding of Excel/Sheets, so rookies may be overwhelmed and experts may be bored.

This will an opportunity for all Math 1 and Math 3 districtwide to PLC together with their like teams and discuss best practices, current strategies, and review maps to devise a plan to start the year off strong.

One of the largest incoming classes of kindergarteners with disabilities will be walking into our classrooms this August - the same classrooms that are implementing play-based learning.

Play based learning is essential for kindergarteners to build real-world social skills, learn how to transition, and access a more developmentally appropriate curriculum. Play-based learning ALIGNS with NCELI and many IEP goals. However, for students with developmental delays and disabilities, there are additional challenges beyond what a typically-developing kindergartener experiences. Teachers need strategies to support data collection and assessment. Students need explicit social-emotional instruction, strategies, and proficiency in our play centers. So, how do we get there?

In this session, we will dive into the realities of these disabilities in our kindergarteners academics while sharing the tools and resources we have to best serve them. Attendees will be given opportunities to ENGAGE with and address misconceptions about visual supports, reinforcement systems, sensory tools, developmentally appropriate language, social stories and the importance of equity in the classroom culture. We will share our own differing experiences in our respective fields on how to practically implement these strategies and effectively collaborate across school teams to get students holistically supported. Attendees will then be encouraged to reflect on challenges in their own classrooms and leave with more tools in their toolboxes to make their classrooms and data collection more accessible.

These strategies will help teachers create an equitable and inclusive classroom, especially for one of our most impressionable populations, ready to ignite the minds of all students.

Heggerty Phonemic Awareness curriculum can ignite a passion for reading and lay the foundation for lifelong literacy success. Participants will explore the research-based principles and instructional practices embedded within the Heggerty Phonemic Awareness curriculum. Learn how to effectively implement Heggerty routines and activities to develop students' phonological skills, including phoneme segmentation, blending, rhyming, and phonemic manipulation.
Strategic Alignment: Teaching and Learning

The purpose of this session is to provide teachers with simple but effective strategies and ideas to help students become successful writers (and enjoying the process of writing).
The audience will be able to engage through a writing activity. During this session, the audience will receive resources accordingly (PPP
Presentation, links to websites, worksheets, etc.) to practice the strategies of this writing approach. This session is for early education.

I would like to share what we feel is going well and work on behavior management that we can use while doing small groups, teaching encore classes, and covering classrooms. I would love to share a little bit of whole brain teaching and work on ways of incorporating that into our daily routines.
