SUMMARY:Multiliteracy Notetaking for Translanguaging Border Literacies
DESCRIPTION:This session introduces the Multiliteracy Dialogic Notetaker\, a pedagogical tool designed to deepen language and literacy development while centering translanguaging and border literacies in bilingual and multilingual classrooms. Used in an AP Bilingual U.S. History classroom\, this approach reframes note-taking as meaning-making rather than simple transcription. Students engage their full linguistic repertoires\, moving across languages\, modalities\, and cultural references\, to process complex academic ideas and texts. Grounded in translanguaging theory and multiliteracies frameworks\, the notetaker encourages the use of multiple languages\, visuals\, diagrams\, quotations\, reflections\, and conceptual mapping. Bi-multilingual students use this tool to synthesize historical analysis\, organize and connect historical schema\, and develop academic classroom practices while discovering their voice across languages.

SUMMARY:To Alg or Not to Alg: Can we Teach Geometry Even if Our Students Aren't at Grade Level with Algebra?
DESCRIPTION:Do your Geometry (or Algebra 2\, PreCalc\, Stats\, etc.) students come to you with poor Algebra skills or low confidence? How can we help our students be more successful and feel more confident while also making sure they learn the required grade level content. I would like to make the case for leveraging technology to help our students become better thinkers and problem solvers so that we aren't just teaching them to be mini calculators. We will discuss how using handheld calculators\, online calculators\, and even a little AI can help buoy student confidence so that they can be active learners in their higher level math classes so that we can move beyond teaching skills to instead teach how to think critically and problem solve.

SUMMARY:Beyond the IEP: Practical Accommodations for Every Learner
DESCRIPTION:Ready to move beyond paperwork and get to the heart of achievement? Join this energetic\, hands-on session to transform how we approach student support. Instead of seeing accommodations as a "compliance check\," we’ll explore how the APS Promising Practice of Student Success Systems serves as a bridge to high-level mastery. What You’ll Experience: Collaborative Inquiry: Work with peers across grade levels to solve real-world classroom challenge. The "Support Toolkit": Get hands-on with evidence-based strategies\, like tiered graphic organizers and visual anchors\, that actually work. Data-Driven Action: Use a cycle of inquiry to ensure interventions are precise and effective. The Takeaway: Leave with a clear roadmap for implementing accommodations with fidelity\, ensuring every student—regardless of their starting point—can access grade-level content and feel empowered. Let’s turn high expectations into tangible success!

SUMMARY:BINGO 101: Tracking positive behaviors and growing school culture
DESCRIPTION:Let’s be honest: we’re all looking for ways to make behavior management feel less like "policing" and more like connecting. That’s where Positive Behavior BINGO comes in. It’s a simple\, low-stress way to gamify the good stuff we’re already seeing in our hallways and classrooms. But this isn't just about filling up a card for a prize. It’s about those small\, daily interactions that actually build trust between us and our students. It gives us a reason to high-five a kid who’s usually flying under the radar and a way to celebrate the wins that usually go unnoticed.

SUMMARY:Connection Creates Community
DESCRIPTION:We recognize that many students come to school carrying the effects of stress\, trauma\, or difficult life experiences. This session highlights the important role educators play in providing stability\, care\, and guidance. Participants will explore how educators can create dialogue that can help create safe\, supportive environments that promote healing and resilience for all students. This engaging and supportive session invites educators to explore how healthy communication can be woven into the everyday life of their school communities. Educators will learn meaningful values that strengthen relationships\, build accountability\, and help students grow towards their best self through participatory activities and group discussion. Schools and classrooms hold incredible potential to nurture not only academic growth but also the development of compassionate\, capable\, and resilient individuals. Grounded in the work of Kay Pranis and Carolyn Boyes-Watson\, authors of Circle Forward: Building a Restorative School Community\, this session will introduce the Seven Core Assumptions that provide a basic idea about human nature and our relationships to the world. Educators will reflect on the “prism” through which we see ourselves and others\, gaining insights that strengthen empathy\, understanding\, and connection. Join us for a collaborative and uplifting experience designed to inspire\, support\, and empower your work with students and colleagues.

SUMMARY:Blackout Poetry as a Critical Tool: A Third Space Speculation
DESCRIPTION:Blackout poetry is a well-known and widely used activity in ELA classrooms. Yet\, its full possibilities as a literacy practice attuned to reading and writing have not been adequately explored. It is typically used as a creative writing activity geared towards artistic expression\, but it can also be used to read and write texts in nearly any context\, including AP English\, history\, and even science classes. The overwriting of a text allows for an increased attunement to differences not between texts\, but between the student and the text directly and can serve as an act of discovery and critique. This session will explore how and why blackout poetry serve as a critical tool beyond its creative aspects and possibly be integrated into a variety of classrooms to increase engagement and critical acuity in students. The world is filled with a variety of texts asking us (and our students) to buy a certain product\, think or feel a certain way\, and vote for a particular candidate. Part of our jobs as educators is to help students read and analyze these texts\, to make sense of them\, and to act accordingly. Blackout poetry\, an engaging activity typically used in ELA classes as a fun and creative assignment\, I believe can also be used as a tool of analysis and critique for our students across disciplines. This session will be an opportunity to explore this claim with me\, through an overview of the activity\, an explanation of its possible pedagogical and theoretical use as a critical tool for students\, and a hands on opportunity to make blackout poems ourselves.

SUMMARY:Designing for Everyone: 5 Universal Barriers That Impact Learning (and How to Plan Around Them)
DESCRIPTION:Instructional breakdowns are rarely random. Many barriers to learning\, such as language complexity\, cognitive load\, representation\, insufficient background knowledge\, and executive functioning demands\, are predictable at the planning stage. This session introduces five universal barriers that impact access and engagement across content areas. Participants will explore why these barriers disproportionately affect students prioritized under the Yazzie-Martinez decision and how proactive lesson design can improve access and engagement for all learners. By reframing accommodations as proactive design decisions rather than reactive fixes\, educators will learn a simple planning process to name the task\, identify barriers\, and intentionally design barrier removal. Practical examples across math\, science\, social studies\, and ELA will demonstrate how this planning lens supports equitable access\, strengthens inclusion\, and reduces teacher workload.

SUMMARY:The 6-Cursor Classroom: Rapid Co-Creation with Student Collaboration
DESCRIPTION:In this fast-paced\, live-build session\, discover how to transform traditional\, solitary assignments into high-octane collaborative projects. Using Canva for Education\, Kelly and a team of five students will take the stage to demonstrate how a single shared project can evolve from a blank canvas to a professional-grade video and digital portfolio in real-time. Witness the power of simultaneous collaboration: while one student scripts\, another animates\, a third curates b-roll\, and others refine the aesthetic—all under the teacher’s real-time digital supervision. We will move beyond "group work" (where one person does all the typing) and into "synchronous production\," where every student has a specialized role and a cursor on the screen.

DESCRIPTION:Students spend over a thousand hours each year learning in our classrooms\, and we want that time to mean more than simply getting through the work or getting a grade. This session helps teacher teams change that experience together so that our kids start to see themselves as thinkers\, contributors\, and capable learners. You’ll choose one profile of a graduate skill your students most need right now and design simple\, shared thinking routines that help students make sense of ideas\, think through problems\, and apply learning across classes. When teams align around this work\, classrooms feel different: students are more engaged\, conversations go deeper\, and learning starts to stick. Participants will leave with a shared focus\, a united approach\, and a plan they can put into place in the very first week of school.

Join us in La Sala (lower West Side) for a dynamic and interactive series of poster sessions designed to spark innovation and provide practical solutions for today’s educators. These sessions offer a unique opportunity to engage directly with experts\, explore visual data\, and take away actionable strategies in a concise\, high-impact format. Math Made Beautiful: Reimagining Fluency\, Confidence\, and Engagement: In this interactive workshop\, attendees will rotate through three hands-on stations that model joyful\, high-impact math routines for real classrooms. Participants will explore daily warm-ups that build number sense and fact fluency\, structures that promote student ownership through creative problem-solving\, and activities that support whole-class engagement and mathematical discourse through play. Aaron Johnston\, Patrick Iverson Math in Every Language: Building Understanding Through Visual Thinking: In many bilingual classrooms\, students are learning mathematics and language at the same time. This session shares how one school\, Christine Duncan Heritage Academy\, strengthened engagement and understanding by centering visual thinking through Tile Farm. Using a simple\, consistent daily routine\, students began to participate more fully\, take risks\, and communicate their ideas with confidence. Visual\, low-floor\, high-ceiling tasks allowed all learners to access mathematics immediately\, while supporting the development of academic language over time. Participants will experience the routine as learners\, hear classroom stories from CDHA\, and explore practical ways to build inclusive\, discussion-rich math environments where all students can think and communicate in math\, in any language.

These sessions offer a unique opportunity to engage directly with experts\, explore visual data\, and take away actionable strategies in a concise\, high-impact format. Motivating Middle Schoolers: Get your Middle school students participating in class and curb those behavior problems. Asia Alvarado "Now Climb that Tree": Discussing Effective Differentiation Strategies: Education is\, at times\, a river of pedagogical jargon. The jargon comes and goes\, but often the core problems remain. Our students are behind. Our state is underperforming. I have been teaching for over 20 years. As an ELD teacher and Co-teacher\, the one piece of jargon I observe consistently missing from our classrooms is differentiation. I want to facilitate a collaborative learning session where teachers can come together to discuss the most effective strategies they have used to differentiate for their students\, and to hear from all APS teachers who are experts in\, or struggling with\, differentiation. I want to discuss how to raise our scores without drill and kill\, to explore differentiation in a safe space where teachers share their experiences\, vent their frustrations\, and find solutions. I want teachers to leave with new solutions\, as well as solid plans for proven differentiation techniques they can use to get off to a great start for the new year. Megan Blaich "Would You Know What to Do?" -Student Safety\, Chronic Conditions & Self-Regulation in Schools: This interactive gallery walk engages teachers\, educational assistants\, administrators\, and support staff in recognizing and responding to common student health needs in the school setting. Using real-world scenarios\, participants will explore how everyday staff actions impact student safety\, engagement\, and self-regulation. This session highlights a practical framework—Recognize\, Respond\, Support—to guide decision-making when students report symptoms or show signs of distress. Participants will also engage with demonstration emergency medications (e.g.\, inhalers\, epinephrine auto-injectors) to build confidence in real-time response. Attendees will leave with clear\, actionable strategies to support student voice\, ensure timely care\, and reduce barriers to learning. Pamela Garcia Arnold Tackle Complex or Controversial Issues in the Classroom Through Civil Conversation: Students are eager to discuss real-world issues. Help transform their curiosity into meaningful dialogue that builds empathy and critical thinking. The Civil Conversation method helps students gain a deeper understanding of complex topics through a combination of close reading and guided small-group discussion. This strategy uses graphic organizers and discussion guides to help students consider multiple perspectives\, use evidence to support their claims\, and ask clarifying questions. Join us in this session to learn more about Civil Conversation\, explore resources\, and discuss best practices for using student deliberation in the classroom. This workshop will include collaborative planning time and participants will leave with a ready-to-use lesson tailored to their course and grade level. Kathleen Hughes Attention Mandalorians: This Strategy Rotation Session is inspired by both Harry Potter and Star Wars: The Mandalorian this is a strategy for classroom management that is engaging\, relevant and fun. It can be used in a classroom setting or adapted for school wide program. Alyssa Anaya Hexagonal Thinking: Bringing Collaboration and Critical Thinking into the Classroom: Hexagonal thinking is a simple classroom strategy to engage students in collaboration and critical thinking. Students review terms and concepts in any given subject and connect or link them using hexagons. If hexagon sides touch\, the terms and concepts must relate to one another. Because hexagons have six sides\, multiple connections can be made and students must be able to justify any and all connections. This activity fosters student engagement through discussion\, debate\, problem solving\, and critical thinking. Each group’s unique visual map of hexagons helps students to see the bigger picture of how terms/co...

SUMMARY:Small Shifts\, Big Momentum: Practical Structures That Elevate Student Voice
DESCRIPTION:Student voice does not happen by accident. It grows when classrooms are designed with predictable structures that support clarity\, participation\, and timely feedback. This session focuses on practical\, high leverage classroom structures that elevate student voice within strong Tier 1 instruction. Participants will explore how small instructional shifts can increase meaningful participation\, strengthen belonging\, and support inclusive practices aligned to APS priorities around Culture of Care and MLSS. Through modeling\, structured collaboration\, and guided lesson application\, educators will refine an upcoming lesson and leave with ready to use structures they can implement immediately.

SUMMARY:STF - From Classroom to Caldera: Co-designing a 6th grade signature academic field experience
DESCRIPTION:How might we transform a field trip into a powerful\, student-centered learning experience? In this interactive workshop\, educators will partner with the National Park Service education team from Valles Caldera National Preserve to explore and co-design a 6th Grade Academic Field Experience grounded in place-based learning\, inquiry\, and inclusive practices. Participants will step into the role of a student through a “mini field experience\,” engaging with real images\, data\, and maps from Valles Caldera. Teachers will then work in teams to design a pre- or post-field experience that connects classroom learning to authentic investigations in math\, science\, literacy\, and social studies. This session is also a recruitment opportunity for 6th grade\, cross-content teams interested in helping co-design and pilot this experience during the 2026-2027 school year.
