Session M — 2-8
Using Classroom ELA Assessments
to Inform Instruction
Meghann Burr and Adrienne Snow
Location: Crandall APR

Session N — 6-12
3D Printing and Design: STEAM
Connections
Adam Mitchell
Location: JFK CLAB 2

This session will take a close look
at ELA skills assessments, including
how they should be used to assess
students' needs and inform ongoing instruction. Teachers will complete an item analysis chart for
questions, collaborate on lesson
development, and develop reading
assessment questions.

The session will include a discussion of selection and funding of 3D
printers, 3D design platforms,
technology limitations/
opportunities of 3D printing, and
cross-curricular connections to 3D
printing. Participants will learn the
basics of TinkerCad (on-line design
platform).

Session O — PK-2
Differentiating Instruction Using
Math Centers
Kyle Charette
Location: Barnard Room 16

Session P — PK-12
Understanding Inquiry and Implementing the Question Formulation Technique
Joel Senez
Location: Fermi A222

This session is intended to share
ideas being piloted in the use of
centers as part of math instruction.
Teachers should come prepared to
collaboratively examine the use of
centers. Together we can strengthen our approach and better support student achievement in math.

The presenter will explain the benefits of using inquiry-based lesson
design with students developing
their own questions and how to
use student questions in planning,
instruction, and assessment. The
presenter will guide the group in
the process of developing a lesson
around the Question Formulation
Technique (QFT). Some time will
be used for attendees to develop a
QFT lesson for implementation in
their classroom.
