SUMMARY:Tang Math: Fractions\, Ratios & Proportional Thinking (Grades 5–8)
DESCRIPTION:Do you have students who struggle with fractions\, decimals\, or negative numbers? Who are tripped up converting units of measure or solving rate\, time\, and distance problems? Who find percent and rate-of-change problems perplexing?\n\nJoin Greg Tang for a math-packed day that will change the way you teach—and the way your students learn\, think\, and enjoy math. In this Grades 5–8 workshop\, Greg shares his “less is more” approach to mastering essential middle school concepts and skills.\n\nOur focus will be on proportional reasoning—the heart of middle school math. Through tape diagrams\, double-sided number lines\, tree diagrams\, and tables\, you’ll discover how to help students visualize relationships\, think proportionally\, solve problems algebraically\, and lay the groundwork for slope and high school math.\n\nMath—and you—will never be the same!\n\nRegistration closes June 2\, 2026 unless tickets are sold out.

SUMMARY:Making Meaning Visible:  Tools for Unlocking Student Comprehension in Grades 3-8
DESCRIPTION:Comprehension is an invisible skill\, which is why it is so hard to teach.  When students misread a word\, you can see their errors\, but when students don’t understand a text\, it is hard to know where meaning broke down.  In this workshop\, educators will explore a range of research-based strategies to improve student reading comprehension.  We will focus on the essential skills students need to develop strong comprehension\, and the instructional strategies and practices that help support and build those skills.  This session is designed to move beyond basic recall by equipping teachers with powerful strategies for fostering deeper critical thinking in their readers. Participants will learn how to guide students in making inferences\, asking higher-level questions\, and synthesizing information from multiple sources.  This session will provide hands-on practice with instructional methods\, including graphic organizers and collaborative discussion\, to help you create a more engaged and effective reading classroom. Participants will leave with a toolbox of new\, actionable strategies to support students in becoming independent\, proficient readers. \nRegistration closes 4-5 days prior to the event date unless tickets are sold out. \n

SUMMARY:My Kids Can't Write: How to Advance Achievement through K-8 Cross Curricular Writing
DESCRIPTION:Countless teachers have identified a problem in their classrooms: their kids either can’t–or don’t want to–write. Cognitive writing (Goodwin & Rouleau\, 2023) provides a sustainable\, research-based approach to embedding writing into all content areas. Like it or not\, we are all writing teachers\, and we have a responsibility to ensure writing is embedded into instruction across the disciplines.  That said\, encouraging kids to write in our classrooms can help all teachers reach their instructional goals: research shows that when kids write about what they’ve learned\, it’s more likely to stick. What’s more\, when we engage students in reflective writing\, students are more likely to internalize what they’ve learned about themselves and their own learning habits. All of this can be achieved with cognitive writing (i.e.\, “journaling”)\, a structured and sustainable practice that not only gets kids learning to write\, it gets them writing to learn\, as well.\nIn our session\, we will begin by connecting research to practice\, exploring Visible Learning effect sizes that support journaling\, such as summarizing (.62)\, self-reflection (.81)\, and constructivist teaching (.92). Then\, participants will experience journaling to better understand the types of tasks that lend themselves to cognitive writing\, a lesson structure that involves journaling\, and scaffolds different students require to benefit from journaling. To conclude\, participants will reflect on their time in our session\, identifying tangible action steps for exploring journaling their schools or classrooms.\n\n \nLearning Intention:\nWe will learn to use journaling as a means for writing across the disciplines\, building students’ stamina for on-demand writing tasks\, and generating student-driven evidence of learning.\n\nSuccess Criteria:\nWe will know participants have learned this when:\n– they can explain the research that supports using cognitive writing across all subject areas.\n– they can identify structures and scaffolds to support cognitive writing in the classroom.\n– they can identify 1-3 action steps to begin exploring cognitive writing in their classrooms.\n\nPaul Emerich France is a National Board–Certified Teacher\, literacy specialist\, keynote speaker\, and author of Make Teaching Sustainable\, Reclaiming Personalized Learning\, and Humanizing Distance Learning and My Kids Can’t Write\, K-5. His work with #SustainableTeaching stems from this principle: to make teaching sustainable\, we need to first and foremost value the humanity of teachers and create conditions in which they can thrive.\n\nFrance has contributed to a number of online and print education-related publications\, including ASCD’s Educational Leadership. His work has been featured at SXSW EDU and in The New Yorker\, WIRED\, and The Atlantic. He currently consults with teachers\, schools\, and school districts and offers educational support to families in pods and one-on-one settings. \n\nRegistration closes Thursday\, July 23 at 12:00pm.

SUMMARY:My Kids Can't Spell: K-5 Inquiry-Based Word Study in 5 Easy Steps
DESCRIPTION:The research is clear: students will not learn how to spell if they are not explicitly taught. However\, this doesn’t mean we have to go back to the old ways of teaching spelling\, where students are given groups of random\, unrelated words\, expected to memorize them without context or authentic application. We can “walk and chew gum\,” as they say: we can use progressive practices\, such as inquiry-based learning\, in tandem with tried-and-true research on how students learn to spell\, in order to cultivate engaging lessons around English orthography that are also sustainable for teachers. \nBuilding off of the Structured Word Inquiry approach (Bowers & Bowers\, 2020)\, we will explore four key questions for exploring *any* word in the English language:\n(1) What does it mean?\n(2) How is it built?\n(3) What are its relatives?\n(4) How is it pronounced? \nIn this interactive session\, teachers will be immersed in several word explorations\, understanding how to guide students through these four questions in monosyllabic\, phonetically spelled words (i.e.\, cat\, flop\, snake); high-frequency words commonly labeled as “sight words” or “red words” (i.e.\, does\, have\, pretty); and multi-syllabic words built from morphological constructions (i.e.\, happy\, information\, action). \n\n \nLearning Intention:\nWe are learning how to sustainably and systematically teach spelling using inquiry\, in an effort to increase student engagement and investment\, meanwhile growing spelling achievement in order to boost writing fluency.Success Criteria:\n– Participants will recall the four questions for exploring spelling patterns through inquiry-based instruction.\n– Teachers will identify tools to explore etymology\, orthography\, and word relatives (including Etymonline\, WordSearcher\, word matrices\, and word sorts).\n– Teachers apply tools for exploring spelling to create their own exploration for a commonly misspelled word. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPaul Emerich France is a National Board–Certified Teacher\, literacy specialist\, keynote speaker\, and author of Make Teaching Sustainable\, Reclaiming Personalized Learning\, and Humanizing Distance Learning and My Kids Can’t Write\, K-5.
