KAP ELA Interims: Using Data to Drive Instruction

Thursday October 24, 2024 8:30am - 10:00am CDT

Reviewing the significance of interim assessments in guiding instructional practices is essential to growing and measuring student knowledge. Understanding the unique contributions of each interim assessment and the methods for analyzing the data they generate is crucial for informed decision-making in education. This reflective process allows educators to effectively utilize assessment data to enhance teaching strategies and improve student outcomes. KAP summative assessments feature higher text complexity and longer passages than students may be accustomed to. Comparison of passages from grades 3-8 will be prominent, addressing standard 9

Empowering Learning: Digging Deeper into Thinking Classrooms

Thursday October 24, 2024 8:30am - 10:00am CDT

Redbud B

The research on Building Thinking Classrooms shows that when students work on thinking tasks in random groups on a vertical whiteboard, they are capable of co-creating incredible amounts of mathematical meaning and collective knowing-and-doing. In this session, participants will look at the Thinking Classroom practices that help students move this collective knowing-and-doing into individual knowing-and-doing while, at the same time, beginning to take responsibility for their own learning. These practices support note-making and individual work. They will intertwine with, and make extensive references to, the recently published book, Building Thinking Classrooms (Grades K-12): 14 Teaching Practices for Enhancing Learning.

Human Trafficking in America’s Schools: What Kansas Schools Can Do to Identify, Respond, and Prevent Human Trafficking

Thursday October 24, 2024 8:30am - 10:00am CDT

Cypress A

Many underage victims of human trafficking are students in the America’s school systems. No community, school, or student demographic is immune. Incidents of child sex trafficking can be found in every area of Kansas whether it is rural, suburban, or urban settings including in our schools. There are few crimes more appalling or challenging for schools to recognize and address than human trafficking. This course is divided into three sections. The first section will discuss awareness. The first step in fighting human trafficking is to understand the dynamics and be aware of the indicators and warning signs associated with trafficking. The second section discusses intervention so teachers and administrators will be better prepared to recognize the indicators and be prepared to respond to trafficking within their school to keep students safe. The third section will discuss prevention, awareness resources, and educational programs for students to make them more aware and safer.
