Revitalizing the Student Experience in High School Mathematics

How we engage students in learning mathematics impacts how students see themselves as learners and thinkers in so many aspects of life. Students often don’t see themselves as “math people” especially as high schoolers. Could the problem be that we aren’t asking them to do MORE thinking and reasoning? Students need to be skilled communicators, collaborators and problem solvers to succeed in life. Let’s talk about how a shift to emphasize mathematical and statistical processes — as the book from NCTM, NCSM and ASSM "High School Reimagined, Revitalized, and Relevant" advocates — can help students to build durable skills and thrive.

Leveraging Social Media Culture to Foster the Productive Struggle

In today's digital age, social media plays a significant role in shaping the culture of learning for our students. The habits of instant gratification, seeking likes and valuing comments are prevalent in their everyday lives. This session explores innovative strategies to harness these aspects of social media culture to foster a productive struggle in the classroom. Learn how to guide teachers in creating classroom environments that celebrate student contributions, highlight effective and accepted feedback, and transform mistakes into valuable learning experiences. By aligning teaching practices with students' cultural tendencies, educators can capture and maintain students' attention, ultimately leading to more engaged and motivated learners. Discover how social media-inspired strategies can enhance classroom dynamics and support students in embracing challenges as opportunities for growth. Learn how to bridge the gap between students' digital lives and classroom learning to cultivate resilience and perseverance in your school community.

Afternoon Session | Developing Teachers’ STEM Identity in the Math Classroom

For more than 30 years, TI has been an active member in math, science and STEM classrooms, and today is no different. As demand for STEM talent skyrockets, learn how TI can support and encourage math teachers to integrate STEM related activities and real-world connections into their daily math instruction. Learn how to equip your district with technology-rich resources that will ignite students and motivate them to pursue high-need, high-wage career pathways. We look forward to a discussion of roadblocks and challenges that teachers may have in developing their STEM identities and how we can assist in overcoming them.
