Retiring “I Don’t Do Math”: Leveraging Critical Thinking Math Mindsets to Sharpen Math Skillsets
If someone offers to pay you $10 to watch their dog and says they’ll be gone an hour, should you get paid more if they come back after an hour and a half? Too often, students (and teachers) think of math as a rigid set of formulas and steps, and high achieving gifted learners obsess over getting the right answer, skipping over the power of asking the right questions. Instead, when we teach students to shift from asking “what” and “how” to “why” and “what if”,  we unlock a set of tools for solving real-world problems of fairness and justice. In this session, learn powerful, practical steps for teaching math mindsets, including checking gut reactions, analyzing from multiple perspectives, and asking “what would the world look like if __?”.

Administrator Workshop: Beating “One More Thing” Syndrome: Igniting Excellence through Tier 1 Instruction

Why don’t all educators teach grade-level content to struggling learners? And why is it that even with massive investments in high-quality instructional materials, some educators who do teach grade-level content struggle to teach Tier 1 instruction at the necessary level of rigor? “These kids can’t” mindsets are hard because gaps in will are often paired with gaps in skill. This session will provide you with powerful, but practical tools to give your teachers an “all kids can” skillset. Learn how to integrate engaging, culturally-responsive critical thinking into your existing curriculum and how you can similarly enhance the efficacy of student learning in your schools without it feeling like one more thing. High-quality instructional materials are not enough. Teachers need high-quality instructional MOVES and school systems need to create a MOVEMENT around this work. Join us to start your Tier I transformational movementA!

Prepping for Fallout: Building your Doomsday Bunker for a Post-Apocalyptic Gifted World
If gifted education wasn’t a priority to you, you wouldn’t be at this conference. But, in K-12 education, gifted education continues to be deprioritized, defunded, and in some cases, decimated entirely. This session explores practical, but powerful strategies that champions of gifted education can use to create sustainable programming to serve gifted students, even if the state and/or your district shuts down your gifted program entirely. And this isn’t just about preparing your doomsday bunker for a future fallout; it’s about envisioning a model for gifted services that creates equitable access and outcomes today.
