Breakout Sessions

An All Access Pass to Meaningful Math (K-8)
Let’s investigate open tasks that invite all students into the math. 5 Practices for Orchestrating Productive Mathematics Discussions by Smith and Stein 2nd Edition* encourages all students to work at levels that are appropriately challenging for them, within the content in their grade. Discover how to make this happen with ease in your classroom and have some fun while we are at it.

Routines Don't Have To Be Routine (K-5)
Explore a variety of daily routines and teaching strategies focusing on the “not-so-simple” skills of counting and building number sense. Together we will work through concepts that are essential to foundational mathematics understanding. This workshop will leverage the research and theories behind counting, cardinality, and building number sense and provide you with important insight into many taken-for-granted processes. Walk away with ready to use routines and ideas to immediately implement in your classroom.

Agency Is No Accident (K-12)
A critical aspect of building student agency is selecting tasks that invite students to author and share their own ideas for teachers to respond to. Let’s experience how 3-Act Math tasks promote student agency and authorship of mathematical ideas where teachers actively respond to different student cultures, backgrounds, and ideas to drive instruction.

Open Questions, Open Minds (K-12)
Join us for this interactive workshop on open questions and discover how open questions help all students find a seat at the math table. By delivering open questions, teachers invite students at different stages of mathematical development to benefit and grow. You’ll learn how to create and implement open questions to build on that innate curiosity, giving it an openness to grow and flourish.

Technology Integration - Canvas®
With the Canvas-Realize Advantage Integration, students can access and complete all Savvas assignments RIGHT in Canvas, simplifying their learning experience (students don't need to access another platform). All of the content teachers need is embedded inside Canvas -- grades will pass back and forth, and teachers receive targeted, actionable feedback to drive instruction. The Canvas-Realize integration allows for the full functionality of sharing abilities in Canvas with Blueprinting and Commons -- including course customization using the Realize Discover External Tool.

Technology Integration - Schoology®
With the Schoology-Realize Advantage Integration, students can access and complete all Savvas assignments RIGHT in Schoology, simplifying their learning experience (students don't need to access another platform). All of the content teachers need is embedded inside Schoology - grades will pass back and forth, and teachers receive targeted, actionable feedback to drive instruction. The Schoology-Realize integration allows for the full functionality of sharing abilities in Schoology with copying courses and using course templates -- including course customization using the Realize Discover External Tool.

Technology Integration - Google Classroom™

MTSS Creating Coherence Between Tier 2 and Tier 3 Instruction in Service of Tier 1 (K-8)
Come prepared to discuss your district strategy for addressing the needs of all students. See how the Savvas Learning Framework provides a roadmap that delineates how our curriculum fosters positive academic outcomes by supporting our teachers and engaging students through their lived experiences. Discover strategies and opportunities designed to honor all student voices, that allow students to learn from each other, and that develop the skills students need to succeed in the world around them.

Shoulder-to-Shoulder with Savvas and enVision Math (K-5 & AGA)
Experience and explore our Savvas enVision Mathematics Professional Learning Job-Embedded Services (JES). See firsthand how JES can impact and transform the math instruction in your classrooms and lead to desired student outcomes. Come ready to play in the Math!

The Sights and Sounds of Today's enVision Math Classroom (K-5 & 6-8)
Ever wonder what you should see and hear in today's math classroom? Curious as to how to support your educators with instructional practices? Let's explore teacher moves that best facilitate fostering an environment of student growth and achievement. You'll leave the session with an easy-to-use resource to help build capacity in your district.
