Monday July 15, 2024 9:00am - 10:45am MDT
Centennial Ballroom
Let's kick off HIVE with OUR Community! Hear from Open Up Resources organization leaders, and engage in an amazing keynote from Deborah Peart. Deborah is the founder and CEO of My Mathematical Mind. As an elementary educator for over 30 years, she speaks on various topics related to math identity, math content, instructional practices, and literacy connections to mathematics. Deborah recognizes that many students, educators, and parents have unaddressed math trauma and varying levels of anxiety when it comes to mathematics. Blending her training in yoga and mindfulness with mathematics instruction, Deborah advocates for a mindful approach to teaching mathematics to address math anxiety, build confidence, and support the development of positive math identities. She has dedicated her career and doctoral studies to supporting educators with innovative teaching strategies that allow students to be curious problem-solvers and see themselves as assets to the learning community. Deborah believes all children deserve joyful math experiences and the opportunity to become competent readers, writers, and mathers.

Beyond Buying the Book: Using PLCs to Leverage Curriculum-Based Professional Learning
Monday July 15, 2024 11:00am - 12:00pm MDT
Centennial H
Research tells us that the instructional materials teachers use with their students can dramatically accelerate learning. The adoption of high-quality instructional materials presents a unique opportunity to empower educators to use the curriculum as one of many tools for equity in the classroom. However, if the adoption and implementation of high-quality instructional materials occur without a deep and nuanced understanding of a system’s unique context, there is a real danger of the initiative passing without making a significant impact. Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) can help to create opportunities for collaborative intellectual preparation to support system-wide curriculum implementation and coherence, beyond just “buying the book.”

In this session, NTC will spotlight the work it has done with Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) and Albuquerque Public Schools (APS) to create equitable learning environments by supporting teachers to leverage the curriculum through student-centered pedagogy. We will dig deeper into the professional learning community structures and routines that support curriculum rollout and ensure a coherent student experience with the content. Session attendees will learn what it looks like in practice for school, district, and instructional leaders to build a collective understanding of curriculum content and monitor the progress of implementation and instructional delivery,
and how they can apply these strategies in their own context.

How do you use asset-based perspectives to engage students? Have you ever felt like, "I am asking the questions, but then get crickets," or think, "There has to be a better way to get students to (go deeper into content, speak more, listen better, or ???)."? In this session, we will unpack five key strategies that shift classrooms from good to great. Participants will leave with key takeaways that increase student interactions and teacher excitement-- and can be implemented starting on day one of school.

The instructional shifts of literacy are the breath and life behind all college and career readiness standards. Having high-quality instructional materials is the first step, but understanding each shift in depth, noting what it should look like in a thriving classroom and how those materials are built from these shifts along with what they look like in our daily instruction will take our curriculum and instruction to the next level. The shifts are shifts we must see not only from our students but from our teachers and the materials they use. Understanding the shifts and how the EL curriculum was designed with these in mind will allow us to place more of the why behind our beautiful work.

Centennial Ballroom
This session will introduce educational leaders, teachers, and coaches to two components of EL Education’s Foundational Skills curricula: the K-2 Reading Foundational Skills Block (2024 Edition) and Unlock Phonics for grades 3-5. Together we will explore how the Skills Block and Unlock Phonics provide students the necessary instruction and practice to make the critical transition from learning to read to reading to learn.

These curricula were designed in tandem to provide meaningful, research-backed practices to ensure all elementary students become joyful readers. Beginning with K-2, Skills Block provides explicit, systematic phonics instruction through grade-level whole-group instruction, teacher-directed small-group instruction, and differentiated independent practice. For students in Grades 3-5 who need additional instruction in foundational skills, Unlock Phonics provides a personalized option with EL Educator-taught video instruction, meaningful practice opportunities, and progress monitoring supported by the classroom teacher.

"Rules that Expire” in Mathematics
Tuesday July 16, 2024 10:20am - 12:00pm MDT

What happens when students previously learned a calculation trick or a mnemonic that does not contribute to long-term understanding? “Rules” that appear to change from year to year, from teacher to teacher, or from school to school can make mathematics seem disconnected. This session will identify and use clear and consistent mathematical language, representations, and rules across grade levels. Let’s “Nix the Tricks” and avoid “rules that expire.”
