Everyone is invited to ask questions from the keynote session and discuss what good teaching for good learning is

In this session, we will discuss ways to increase student participation and learning during classroom lessons. Dr. Hughes will share evidence-based strategies that can be implemented with ease in any classroom. She will discuss hurdles teachers experience and ways to address these challenges. (Grades 6 - 12)

It is well documented that standard protocol math interventions do not meet all students’ needs, and some students require more intensified supports. When student responsiveness is low, slow, or absent the intensity of an intervention can be adjusted in systematic ways using data. In this session, treatment intensity dimensions will be identified and described, and intervention adaptations will be indicated. Participants will leave with actionable steps for adjusting math interventions.

To become mathematically proficient, students must be well-versed in the language of mathematics. Accessing and participating in mathematical instruction requires students to be able to process and use mathematical language as they make connections between concrete and abstract mathematical concepts. This session will review five research-supported graphic organizers teachers can use to support mathematical language during instruction to promote full access and inclusion. Attendees will create their own mathematical language supports with materials from the session.

This session will discuss the idea of MTSS in theory to practice at the secondary level by using data to drive instructional practice. (Admin/School Psych/Coaches)

Students will have difficulty with math if they don't understand the language of math. In this session, we focus on ways to help students learn the formal language of math and strategies for using math vocabulary with precision. Leave this session with strategies for boosting the math language used in the classroom! (K - 8)

Supporting English Learners (ELs) in math instruction requires intentional strategies that promote language development alongside conceptual understanding. This session will explore the PLUSS Framework, equipping educators with practical techniques to scaffold instruction, enhance mathematical discourse, and create an inclusive learning environment for ELs.

It’s important to tie interventions to core content, especially for students learning more complex math. In this workshop, participants will learn how to analyze student data to identify intervention content. Further, Dr. Witzel will discuss different intervention delivery schedules.

It is imperative that educators systematically assess and link patterns in student responding to empirically validated intervention components. This session will outline how to use the Instructional Hierarchy to guide matching assessment data to specific interventions. (K - 6)

Are fractions "part of a whole"? Points on the number line? Are they numbers? Adding portions of pie makes sense, but multiplying 2/3 of a pie and 4/5 of a pie is meaningless! So, is the arithmetic of fractions we were taught relevant? This session is for all who want to make sense of fractions, once and for all! (Grades 3 - 6)
