Is math a subject to be feared or a playground to be explored? This session focuses on Mathematical Mindsetsโ€”the 8 Standards for Mathematical Practice that transform students into problem solvers. We move beyond "getting the right answer" to embracing persistence and logical reasoning. Youโ€™ll learn to create "low floor, high ceiling" environments where every student thinks like a mathematician! This is a hands-on deep dive. Youโ€™ll spend the session immersed in games that prioritize strategy and perseverance. We will explore how to transition students from performing basic operations to tackling deeper, more complex problem-solving scenarios.

How can students use their school campus to investigate real environmental questions and connect their learning to larger ecosystems? In this interactive session, educators will explore a 7th Grade Campus Ecosystem Monitoring Project in collaboration with the Bosque Ecosystem Monitoring Program (BEMP) and a field experience at Valle de Oro National Wildlife Refuge. Participants will engage in hands-on investigations using real ecosystem data, including water quality, biodiversity, and weather patterns, while practicing simple, repeatable monitoring protocols that can be implemented on any campus. Teachers will design student-centered investigations that connect classroom data collection to field-based learning, including studies of Rio Grande cottonwood decline.

LIMITED
Tuesday August 4, 2026 1:00pm - 2:20pm MDT
Limited Capacity seats available
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. Youโ€™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.

From Silos to Systems: Transforming ELD & Biliteracy Through Processing Partnerships
LIMITED
Tuesday August 4, 2026 1:00pm - 2:20pm MDT
Limited Capacity seats available
What happens when an APS LCE Language Specialist and a High School Teaching & Learning Coach move beyond parallel work and become true processing partners? This session highlights how one APS high school leveraged that partnership to transform data talks, 90-Day Plan writing, and instructional decision-making in service of bi-multilingual students. Grounded in the WIDA 2020 ELD Framework, the Marco DALE framework, and a biliteracy lens, we share how data-embedded ELD and intentional biliteracy development were integrated into site-based coaching cycles and collaborative data talks. Participants will examine how longitudinal analysis of EL student data across the APS system informed targeted supports, program design, and instructional planning. Learn how protected collaboration time, shared inquiry, and aligned systems work can dismantle silos, strengthen equity-driven practices, and center studentsโ€™ linguistic and cultural assets in meaningful, sustainable ways.
