SUMMARY:Supporting Struggling Readers in Upper Elementary: Science‑of‑Reading Strategies That Build Missing Foundational Skills *IN PERSON* facilitated by Lauren Kolbeck Szulc and Deborah Linscott-Feinstein - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Audience: Classroom teachers grades 3-6\, reading teachers\, literacy coaches\, ELL teachers and administrators Upper elementary teachers are increasingly encountering students who still lack essential foundational skills-gaps in phonics\, decoding\, and word recognition that make grade‑level reading feel out of reach. This workshop offers practical\, hands-on guidance grounded in the science of reading to help you support students who are struggling or who never fully mastered early literacy skills. What the workshop focuses on -Strengthening decoding and spelling through explicit\, systematic phonics instruction that meets students where they are -Rebuilding foundational skills for readers who missed earlier instruction or need targeted intervention -Boosting vocabulary knowledge with routines that deepen word meaning\, morphology\, and usage -Integrating phonics\, spelling\, and word study so students can confidently tackle multisyllabic and unfamiliar words Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. If district pays\, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.\nFlyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YOKtYTFZMu6wixR7muo6iZJ1Ui54I1he/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5392467

SUMMARY:Desmos VIRTUAL User Group For NEW USERS 6-12 - 4 Sessions - 6 Hrs Total presented by Andy Malbouef - 3:00-4:30pm
DESCRIPTION:These virtual meetings will allow newer users of Desmos the opportunity to collaborate with other teachers while being supported by Andy Malbouef for questions relating to “how do I do this”. Questions surrounding Desmos use in the classroom (calculators\, exploratory tasks\, or activities) can be answered with a new user perspective in mind. Classroom strategies for engagement and student conceptualization can be explored. This group will meet four times during the school year: October 15\, November 16\, January 6\, and March 2 (all from 3:00 – 4:30 PM). There is an option TO REGISTER for additional sessions in the spring if desired. Join us to increase your comfort level with Desmos. Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. Can use 1 Consortium seat.

SUMMARY:Desmos VIRTUAL User Group For ADVANCED USERS 6-12 - 4 Sessions - 6 Hrs Total presented by Andy Malbouef - 4:45-6:15pm
DESCRIPTION:DESMOS ADVANCED USERS GRADES 6-12 4:45-6:15PM These virtual meetings will allow advanced users of Desmos the opportunity to collaborate with other teachers while being supported by Andy Malbouef for questions relating to “how do I do this”. Questions surrounding Desmos use in the classroom (calculators\, exploratory tasks\, or activities) can be answered with an advanced user perspective in mind. Classroom strategies for engagement and student conceptualization can be explored. For those wishing to learn about computation layer (like student feedback and auto-correcting) for Desmos Activities\, this is the place to do it. This group will meet four times during the school year: October 15\, November 16\, January 6\, and March 2 (all from 4:45 – 6:15 PM).
