Schools across Texas are working hard to address unfinished learning and ensure the greatest levels of success for all students. Realizing these goals will require innovative approaches to instruction that include accelerating students’ progressions of learning. Consider guidance for educators looking for tools and strategies that build conceptual understanding more efficiently, and result in increased student enjoyment of mathematics while growing academic outcomes.

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.
