sessions that promote learning how to successfully
integrate TI technology into math and science
classrooms.

Take advantage of numerous opportunities to learn from
and network with other math and science educators from
across North America and around the world.

T³ proudly announces the Keynote Speaker for the
2013 T³ International Conference - Mr. Leland D. Melvin
NASA Associate Administrator for Education,
former NASA astronaut and National Football League
(NFL) player, three-time honorary doctorate recipient

Leland Melvin is responsible for the development and
implementation of NASA’s education programs that
strengthen student involvement and public awareness
about its scientific goals and missions. He leads the agency
in inspiring interest in science, technology, engineering,
and mathematics (STEM) through NASA’s unique mission,
workforce, facilities, research and innovations.

He began his NASA career in 1989 as an aerospace research engineer, entered NASA’s
astronaut corps in 1998 and later served as a mission specialist operating the robotic arm on
two space shuttle missions to the International Space Station.


The 400+ session schedule is now available.

Examples of session topics include:
• Hands-on interactive sessions with TI technology
• Learn how to effectively use TI technology in the classroom
• TI-Nspire™ technology as a classroom and lab technology solution
• TI-Nspire™ Navigator™ System as a teaching and formative assessment tool
• TI-84 Plus in the math classroom
• Formative Assessment and Differentiated Instruction
• Questioning Strategies
• Engaging your students with fun activities and inquiry-based learning

Closing Session - Mayim Bialik
Actress, Neuroscientist and spokeswoman for
TI-Nspire™ Technology

"The Big Bang Theory" actress, real-life scientist and
author Mayim Bialik talks about her experience as brand
ambassador and spokeswoman for TI-Nspire™ CX math
and science learning technology. Bialik earned her B.S. in
neuroscience and Hebrew and Jewish studies from the
University of California, Los Angeles in 2000, and went on to
receive her Ph.D. in neuroscience from UCLA in 2007,
specializing in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder in
adolescents with Prader-Willi syndrome.

Implementing CCSS from a Teacher’s Perspective
Most teachers in the United States have received a great deal of information about the Common Core State Standards and Mathematical Practices. When it comes down to true implementation, though, how will our classroom practices change? How will they affect what students are doing? How will we make CCSS a reality in our classrooms? In this session, we will hear from a panel of teachers who have begun implementation and find out exactly what has changed for them and their students.

Engineering! Are Your Students Ready?
Engineers are driven to innovate new solutions to existing challenges. STEM education emphasizes problem solving, project-based learning, and college and career readiness. Come hear from experts in the field of engineering readiness discuss how they are helping to develop the innovators of tomorrow in classrooms today.

AP* Calculus: Learning From Those in the Know
The Advanced Placement Calculus program has long been a leader in promoting the use of technology not only to enhance instruction, but also as a tool on high-stakes assessment. This panel of presenters will provide an inside perspective on the challenges, issues and opportunities for technology now and in the future for AP Calculus.

Trends in Statistics Education
The Common Core State Standards have added a new dimension to school statistics. Technology is ever expanding our opportunities for enhancing statistics teaching and learning. And the field is developing new and robust statistical techniques that are not currently in the curriculum. An experienced panel of presenters will talk about the trends and issues in what we are teaching, what we should be teaching and suggestions for making our teaching more effective.

Insights into the Next Generation Science Standards
The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for K-12 are being drafted and reviewed right now through a collaborative state-led process. Experts on the NGSS framework and standards will present key features of the new standards, show practical examples of differences in classroom instruction and lead a group discussion on how technology can most effectively be used to achieve the goals of the standards.

What Students Gain from Learning Mathematics Using CAS
The experience accumulated in the use of CAS from secondary school makes clear the potential of CAS for supporting high quality mathematics teaching and learning. In this session, Dr. Artigue will illustrate the different facets of CAS potential for mathematics learning, by relying on the collaborative work developed by teachers and researchers in the French and European context for more than two decades.
