SUMMARY:Building a Belonging Classroom through Restorative Practices
DESCRIPTION:This professional development training helps teachers with simple\, practical ways to build stronger relationships with students and create a more positive classroom environment while reviewing the ideology of Restorative Practices. It focuses on reflection of practice\, giving students a voice\, handling conflicts through open conversations\, and helping students take responsibility for their actions. Teachers should leave with ready-to-use strategies they can apply right away\, such as leading quick classroom circles\, using simple conversation prompts to address both content and behavior\, and building daily routines that strengthen trust and respect. The training includes real classroom examples and opportunities to practice these approaches\, so teachers feel confident using them. By the end\, teachers will have practical tools to improve classroom culture\, respond to challenges more effectively\, and support students in feeling heard\, valued\, and accountable.

SUMMARY:From Passive to Powerful: Making Notes Work for Students
DESCRIPTION:Most students have notes. Few know what to do with them.When teachers assign note-taking or have students copy notes in class\, the assumption is often that the act of writing something down is enough\; that students will review\, internalize\, and somehow arrive at deeper understanding on their own. But without structured guidance on what to do after the pen goes down\, notes become a passive artifact rather than an active learning tool. In this hands-on professional development session\, teachers will examine the AVID note-taking framework and rather than focus on teaching students merely how to format their notes\, will investigate note-taking as &nbsp\;complete study cycle. You'll leave with practical\, low-lift adjustments you can make immediately to transform note-taking from a compliance task into a genuine comprehension strategy. This session is for any subject and any level. No AVID experience needed..

SUMMARY:From Passive to Powerful: Making Notes Work for Students
DESCRIPTION:Most students have notes. Few know what to do with them.When teachers assign note-taking or have students copy notes in class\, the assumption is often that the act of writing something down is enough\; that students will review\, internalize\, and somehow arrive at deeper understanding on their own. But without structured guidance on what to do after the pen goes down\, notes become a passive artifact rather than an active learning tool. In this hands-on professional development session\, teachers will examine the AVID note-taking framework and rather than focus on teaching students merely how to format their notes\, will investigate note-taking as &nbsp\;complete study cycle. You'll leave with practical\, low-lift adjustments you can make immediately to transform note-taking from a compliance task into a genuine comprehension strategy. This session is for any subject and any level. No AVID experience needed..

The goal is to equip educators with tools to help students move confidently from understanding the prompt to producing proficient\, standards-aligned writing.

DESCRIPTION:In this session\, I’ll share how I moved from hesitation and uncertainty about AI to confidently using it in my classroom. Like many educators\, I worried about dependency and its impact on real learning—until a pivotal webinar shifted my perspective.

DESCRIPTION:In this session\, I’ll share how I moved from hesitation and uncertainty about AI to confidently using it in my classroom. Like many educators\, I worried about dependency and its impact on real learning—until a pivotal webinar shifted my perspective. From there\, I began experimenting\, gradually turning AI into a meaningful learning partner rather than just a convenience tool. I’ll share real examples of how students use AI to brainstorm\, revise\, problem-solve\, and reflect while still thinking independently. I’ll also highlight practical strategies\, including AI-friendly assignments\, clear expectations\, and ways to address challenges like academic integrity. You’ll leave with ready-to-use ideas and prompts to help students use AI as a tool for growth\, not just answers.
