What can I do to get my students more engaged with tasks and with each other? And more importantly, how can I get them to collaborate and support one another as they learn? There is no magic formula but there are structures and routines that we can build to have more supportive teams. Focus on skills students need in the real world and look at ways to turn the learning over to the students to mimic real-world collaboration and teaming. Attend this session, if you feel you have teaming foundations in place.

Put your 20/20 lenses on (the glasses and the year) and let’s analyze the takeaways from teacher evaluation in a year of uncertainty.
The challenges of the past year have led school communities to refocus on relationships, equity, and the academic, social, and emotional development and overall well-being of all students and adults. This session will guide participants through a process for systemically implementing social and emotional learning (SEL), using the CASEL Guide to School-wide SEL (schoolguide.casel.org) as a key resource. Participants will explore tools to support their work in partnering with staff, students, families, and communities to learn from experiences of the past year, focus on adult connections and self-care, and maintain safe, supportive, and equitable learning environments that promote SEL for all students.
Learn all about Florida’s new Math standards that will be implemented over the next two years.
Focusing on the Social Part of SEL Participants will have the opportunity to identify the seven Conative Skills and explore the benefits of teaching them as part of the Condition for Learning, Organizing Students to Interact with Content. Join this session to get great ideas for implementing Conative Skills such as Cultivating a Growth Mindset, Avoiding Negative Thinking, Developing Resiliency, and Taking Various Perspectives on an Issue into your daily lessons. These skills are easily taught through Academic Teaming lessons as well. If you are looking for great ideas to incorporate the Social aspect of Social and Emotional Learning into your lessons as you Organize Students to Interact with Content, this is the session for you!
