Project Goals: Guiding Students to the Peak of Ownership & Goal Setting
FILLING
Thursday July 30, 2026 8:30am - 11:30am CDT
Springtown Intermediate School
Limited Capacity filling up
In the traditional classroom, the teacher often carries the heavy pack—doing the planning, the monitoring, and the reflecting. Project Goals shift that weight. This session equips teachers with the tools to help students "pack their own bags," navigate their own learning paths with goal setting, and reach the summit of their personal goals by putting it into their own hands through data-driven classrooms.

Stretching Minds: Engaging Gifted Learners in Mixed-Ability Classrooms
FILLING
Thursday July 30, 2026 8:30am - 11:30am CDT
Springtown Intermediate School
Limited Capacity filling up
How can you challenge advanced and gifted learners without creating separate lessons or extra work? The answer lies in designing tasks that every student can enter, yet naturally promote deeper thinking for those ready to go further.In this interactive session, teachers will explore low-floor high-ceiling tasks, open-ended learning experiences that allow every student access while providing opportunities for increasingly complex thinking. These tasks support all learners while naturally extending depth, creativity, and rigor for advanced students. Participants will examine practical examples and learn how to embed critical and creative thinking into everyday lessons across grade levels and content areas.

Building Thinking Classrooms using engaging thinking tasks provides teachers the tools to construct a collaborative thinking culture in the classroom. At the start, beginning tasks are non-curricular and encourage the students to develop a culture of collaborative thinking. When later tasks become curricular, the students have developed a collaborative way of thinking so that everyone works together to solve problems.

Helping Gifted Learners Thrive
LIMITED
Thursday July 30, 2026 12:30pm - 3:30pm CDT
Springtown Intermediate School
Limited Capacity seats available
Much of the conversation around gifted learners focuses on academic differentiation, which is essential for students to grow and flourish. However, supporting gifted students also requires an understanding of their affective development and the unique challenges they may experience. In this session, educators will explore characteristics such as asynchronous development, perfectionism, boredom, and heightened sensitivity. Participants will gain insight into how these traits may appear in the classroom and how they can influence learning, motivation, and behavior. Participants will leave with concrete tools to support gifted learners in ways that strengthen both their academic growth and overall well-being.
