Choose Your Session
Research shows that curiosity is one of the strongest indicators of academic success, but it is often underemphasized – or even discouraged – in the classroom. This session will share strategies to unleash students’ curiosity and to boost creativity and critical thinking skills.
Working memory is the ability to remember relevant information while performing an activity, and can be negatively impacted by acute or chronic stress. Students with working memory deficit often struggle in school and exhibit behavior problems. Dr. Bryan Harris will provide strategies to reduce cognitive load and to build cognitive capacity.
Learn how traditional discipline practices actually allow students to “exit” taking responsibility for their behavior. Author and thought leader Larry Thompson discusses six essential practices that will close those exits and help students learn self-management.

With zero prep time, classroom teachers across North America have just become online instructors – like it or not. Eric Clark will help teachers sort through tools that might be useful in their classrooms, while opening their minds to other ways to harness technology.
In this session, attendees will learn how to prioritize equity (giving every student what he or she needs to succeed) over equality. Dr. William Noel will discuss how to identify and avoid implicit bias while taking practical steps to reach the (sometimes) hard-to-reach students in your school.
