In this session, participants will explore how to thoughtfully customize scripted lessons while maintaining alignment to standards, learning objectives, and the integrity of the curriculum. Teachers will identify where flexibility exists, analyze the “why” behind lesson components, and practice adapting materials to better meet the needs of multilingual learners and diverse classrooms. By the end of the session, teachers will leave with practical strategies and a clear decision-making framework for making purposeful, student-centered adjustments without compromising rigor or coherence.

Step into a hands-on STEM Playground where learning comes to life! In this interactive professional development, educators will explore how to seamlessly integrate McGraw Hill Science with engaging digital learning kits to spark curiosity, creativity, and deeper student thinking. Participants will rotate through dynamic stations featuring tools like Ozobot Ari, Cubelets, Rigamajig, and additional robotics, engineering, and design resources to experience learning as their students would.

This session focuses on transforming instruction from passive to active—empowering teachers to facilitate student-driven exploration, problem-solving, and collaboration. Educators will leave with ready-to-use strategies, TEKS-aligned ideas, and practical ways to increase student discourse while reducing teacher workload. Get ready to design, code, build, and bring science to life!

1 PM  - 4 PM

Turn science fair stress into student success! In this interactive, hands-on professional learning session, elementary teachers will explore how to guide students through the science fair process—from asking meaningful questions to designing investigations and communicating results with confidence.

Participants will experience ready-to-use strategies that break the process into manageable steps, support student thinking, and build independence at every stage. Through engaging activities, teachers will learn how to scaffold scientific inquiry, incorporate TEKS-aligned practices, and help students create projects that go beyond posters to truly demonstrate understanding.

Walk away with planning tools, student-friendly resources, and “teacher power moves” that increase engagement, reduce overwhelm, and set every student up for science fair success. Let’s turn curiosity into confidence and ideas into impactful investigations!

8:30 AM - 11:30 AM

Step into the Lesson Designing Lab and discover how to turn McGraw Hill curriculum into dynamic, student-centered learning experiences! In this interactive session, teachers will explore how to design engaging lesson slides and resources that move beyond static instruction and into active, inquiry-based learning.

Participants will learn how to break down McGraw Hill lessons components and rebuild them into engaging experiences using visuals, purposeful questioning, and interactive strategies that promote student thinking and discussion. Through modeling and guided design time, teachers will create their own lesson components—complete with stations, opportunities for collaboration, and strategies that increase student voice.

8:30 AM - 11:30 AM

This professional development will help elementary science teachers intentionally use district-created resources alongside the McGraw Hill Curriculum to create lessons that are engaging, rigorous, and aligned to the TEKS. Teachers will practice planning with available resources, strengthening lessons with DOK-leveled questioning, using stations purposefully, and increasing student academic conversations.
