Being engaged in the classroom is one of the keys to deep learning. Come spend some time to focus on how and why we use technology to enhance delivery and assessment of curriculum. The session will discuss the paradigm shift teachers and districts are making when choosing technology tools to assist in the delivery of content and will also explore how Mobi's and eInstruction Classroom Response Systems can be used to help with classroom management and delivery of curriculum. See examples of how using these tools can help teachers to actively engage all students in classrooms with ever increasing numbers, check student understanding throughout a lesson, provide on-going real-time feedback during lessons, differentiate instruction based on student understanding, and efficiently assess and record student knowledge. See examples of how teachers can use these tools to make learning visible and take learning to a deeper level using quality questioning strategies during instruction.

Bullies are people, too!
In this thought-provoking and interactive presentation you will discover the surprising definition of bullying, what we all have in common with bullies and how current school practices and policies actually encourage this behavior. Alex has been implementing the principles and practices of Intentional Communication and Dynamic Governance to support social and emotional intelligence in schools as a radical (literally, root) approach to rewiring the power structures and attitudes that model and support bullying in the first place.
Alex's anti-bullying system has been implemented at Spectrum School, Kingston, WA, Quilcene School District, North Kitsap High School, &
Blue Heron Middle School Port Townsend, WA
