1 PM - 4 PM 

During this session, participants will explore strategies to strengthen academic reading and improve word-problem comprehension. Through discussion and active engagement, they will experience the Three Reads, Talk–Read–Talk–Write, and Read–Represent–Explain strategies, with connections to the Eureka Math curriculum.

1 PM - 4 PM 

This session is designed to shift the focus from what students are learning (content standards) to how they are thinking (process standards) in K-5 math. Participants will identify and understand the seven process standards, explore several routines for reasoning, and discuss how Eureka Math intentionally integrates them during daily instruction.

8:30 AM - 11:30 AM

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. 

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. 

1 PM  - 4 PM

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.
