Creating Equitable Learning Environments
This session will lead participants in equity learning that will help them improve their racial literacy and increase their commitment to equity. This is based on the belief that helping adults to develop an equity-centered approach to everything that they do is the key to achieving equity in school environments. This session is focused on finding common definitions of equity, oppression, culturally responsive actions, and developing an approach to grow and change in order to better serve our most marginalized students and families.

STEM + Critical Thinking
As one of the ‘4 C’s of Education,’ critical thinking is an important skill for all of our students to improve upon. STEM education provides the perfect opportunity to build critical thinking skills through a sense of wonder, good questions, and problem solving. We’ll improve our own critical thinking skills and redesign typical STEM projects to make them more challenging for our students.

Designing for Voice & Choice No Matter the Format (NO RECORDING)
Teaching looks different these days, and trying to plan a lesson is no longer as simple as using what worked last year. It may seem near-impossible to offer students voice and choice over their learning when you’re not even sure where learning might be taking place. Using the “flex model” can help you streamline your lessons to be effective in either a face-to-face or remote setting. This structure offers students agency over their learning while allowing teachers to provide feedback and maintain classroom control. In this immersive workshop, you will experience the “flex model” for yourself first-hand, see what it feels like to be on the receiving end of a virtual check-in, and begin designing a lesson that you can try out with your students tomorrow!

Envisioning Computer Science Through the SCRIPT Lens
Join this workshop to learn how districts can utilize the SCRIPT process to create a vision with actionable goals toward computer science implementation in the classroom. SCRIPT (Strategic CSforALL Resource & Implementation Planning Tool) was a process developed through research by CSforALL to help school districts and other LEAs become the unit of change toward creating rigorous, inclusive and sustainable K-12 computer science education. Through SCRIPT, district teams are guided by a facilitator through a series of collaborative visioning, self-assessment and goal-setting exercises to create or expand upon a computer science implementation plan for their students. Participants in this workshop will experience portions of the SCRIPT workshop and find out how their district or LEA can create a computer science vision and actionable goals with their own SCRIPT workshop. Note: the SCRIPT process is provided free of charge by trained SCRIPT facilitators.

STEM + Design Thinking
Never has there been a better time to become better problem solvers! Design Thinking is a problem solving method that helps people design workable solutions “for” and “with” others. Participants will engage in a rapid prototyping, remote learning activity with a whole lot of empathy (and just a little bit of tin foil) in order to learn how design thinking works. Then, we will explore some of the best digital tools and workflow practices for students to thrive in a brave, new remote/hybrid problem-solving world!

I Gave You a Chromebook, Now What?
This session will explore strategies to engage students in the virtual environment. Districts across Michigan were proactive and industrious in providing Chromebooks or a device for student use. Even though students may have received a device, statistics showed some students did not engage online. All students need more personalized interaction for continued learning, especially those who have less access. Participants will receive relationship and engagement strategies to support building their virtual toolbox. This session addresses the theme of equity by taking a deeper look into designing differentiated virtual lessons for ALL students.
