Differentiation and Engagement in Your Math Block Through The Use of a Rotation Model
During this session we will dive into differentiating math instruction with the use of a rotation model and student choice. We will incorporate NISD instructional materials into a model that allows students to dive into several engaging activities in a math period and engage in academic discourse with peers. This ups the rigor of the lessons, provides differentiated math instruction, and meets students where they are and where they are able to go. We are so excited to share these unique math rotations with our peers and show how students can actually LOVE math class! We will plan a "mini" rotation for teachers to work through while providing teachers with everything they need to implement it with no hassle in their own classrooms.

Raise your Level of Questioning with the Depth and Complexity Framework
This training is intended for educators that have already attended a Depth and Complexity introductory workshop. How do teachers ask students rigorous questions? And more importantly, how can teachers strategically ask high-level follow-up questions after student responses? This workshop provides strategies to elevate teacher and student questioning. Embedding critical thinking skills along with the iconic prompts will elevate initial questions and help teachers guide learners in real-time by creating secondary questions. Students will be empowered to create their own learning pathways through meaningful questions fueled by the Depth and Complexity Framework.

Going Beyond Average: Rethinking Gifted Services in Advanced Academics

Regardless of school size and resources, advanced and gifted students can and should thrive. The trick lies in the design of program. Too many advanced, dual credit, honors, G/T, pre-AP, AP, and ACT/SAT prep classes are designed to fit the average student and focus on students' weaknesses. In this session, we will examine why academic environments designed on the average hinder student potential where a students’ talents become a liability leading them to become bored and underchallenged.
