This session is for people interested in being a Lego Robotics coach at your school. If you are already a coach, this may help give you some ideas to use with your team. Participants will build a robot and code it to complete a task. Participants would need to have the Lego Spike app on their laptop. They will need to bring the laptop with them.
This session would benefit teachers interested in being a Robotics coach for Elementary school (perhaps middle school also, but that is a higher division).
Special educators balance case management, scheduling, progress monitoring, family communication, compliance responsibilities, and the daily delivery of specially designed instruction. In this practical session, participants will learn how to use time-saving technology tools to streamline scheduling, organize caseload tasks, simplify data collection, improve communication efficiency, and utilize e-signatures to expedite document completion. Attendees will also explore ways technology can support planning for specially designed instruction and student support. Participants are encouraged to bring a charged laptop or device to explore tools and resources during the session. No advanced technology experience is required.
This session is intended for Special education teachers. This session would benefit new teachers with less than 3 years of experience.
Stop "putting out fires" and start reclaiming your instructional time by empowering our youngest learners to lead the way. In this interactive session, Preschool teachers will design a customized Independence Blueprint focused on four key pillars: physical environment layout, visual cues, consistent daily routines, and high-impact student jobs. Attendees will leave with a ready-to-use plan and strategies to foster autonomy in the classroom, as well as parent communication ideas to help build independence at home. You will walk away with a clear roadmap to transition from classroom manager to instructional mentor while your students master the art of navigating their own learning day.
This session is intended for Pre-K (including veteran teachers, novice teachers, and Instructional Assistants). This session would benefit new teachers with less than 3 years of experience.
