Presentations

In this workshop, participants will explore ways to increase student agency when designing assessment for adolescent learners.

As the world races towards globalization, schools are growing in diversity and complexity. How might we build relationships by valuing differences, exchanging ideas, and preparing students for global engagement?

This address uses several such projects to illustrate that despite the fact no two schools are the same, and each has a unique ‘spatial challenge’, half a dozen methods can be used to address most issues.

This session will provide a bit of background on affinity groups for LGBTQ+ students, tips to be an effective faculty advisor, as well as what researchers have uncovered about what GSA's actually do for schools, and why their power may be stronger than you think.

Science in the English classroom? Dissecting words? You bet! Structured Word Inquiry is the scientific investigation of how to spell words, any word.

This session is a hands-on workshop demonstrating the basics of character design, animation (GIF creation), and augmented reality - using Keynote and ARMakr.

Active, healthy students are more successful – in school and in life. This session will explore both the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of the complex, joyful and beautiful relationship between health and student (school) success.

During this session, we’ll be discussing the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child model- a free tool that helps schools identify resources and initiatives that are working, look for gaps and areas for growth, and align so that everyone in the community is speaking the same language and working towards the same common goals.

In this keynote, teacher and award-winning author, Adrian Bethune, will explore what happiness and wellbeing mean and if these are skills we can actually teach students.

At a time where the world is facing global crises, and the future of our students appears increasingly fragile, this keynote presentation asks not what the world can do for the privileged, but what the global elites can do for their world.
