Building Number Sense with Daily Routines

Daily 10 minute routines will bring students to the edge of their seat, eager to share and discuss their math reasoning with others. Committing to just 10 minutes everyday is making a commitment to 30 hours every year. No longer will we say "My students just don't have any number sense." Daily routines can help build number sense while engaging ALL learners in the math classroom.

Moving Beyond Safeguards to Create LGBTQ+ Inclusive Schools

Findings indicate that, as a minoritized population, LGBTQ+ students are highly at risk for being verbally and physically harassed at school, and go unprotected by the adults who are in charge of keeping them safe. School leadership is instrumental in the safeguarding of LGBTQ+ students. Additionally, safeguarding is not nearly enough. It is important to understand that LGBTQ+ students should not just be safeguarded, but should also be surrounded by curriculum and images that will help them feel accepted into the greater school community, which takes an increased level of self-efficacy on the part of the leader..

Unmuting the Sit and Get

Participants will experience different strategies for enhancing their online synchronous presentations with engaging classroom activities designed for all learners, allowing them to transform their lessons. Implementing this structure assists students’ ability to interact and be involved with lessons instead of being caught in the sit-and-get, zoom fatigue. The animation feature on presentation platforms allows for spinners, trigger clicks, randomization, and reveals for student or teacher use. Design functionality allows students to card sort, make models, graph, collect data, and drag and drop multiples, etc. Combining these elements leads to collaboration, critical thinking, and discussion, critical pieces of science instruction in elementary classrooms.
