We will share lessons we are learning about what it takes to build an engaging and connective classroom. We\u2019re excited for you to join us!","Description":"Research shows that K-12 school disengagement is prevalent and a challenge facing teachers working to create impactful and meaningful learning environments. As preservice educators, we are seeking ways to create vibrant, caring, and connective environments that inspire learning and engage students. An important component of this classroom building is creating space for both academic and social and emotional learning priorities to co-exist and where students and teachers have a powerful sense of belonging and mattering. In our presentation, we will share and model one practice that we use in our teacher education classroom to build our own classroom community with these goals in mind. In our Designing Learning Environments class, we have been practicing Circle of Power and Respect (CPR) at the start of each class session. The circle has four components: Greet, Share, Activity and Daily News. Every Tuesday and Thursday, our college class starts in our own circle and is regularly led by a student. In our presentation, we will share the lessons that our use of CPR is teaching us about teaching, learning, building community, and creating engaging classroom spaces. We will share how this approach is impacting our thoughts and ideas about what it means to be a college learner, a culturally relevant educator, and also how we are transferring this to our work as pre-service educators in high schools and educational organizations.","Link":[],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"Our highly interactive and participatory session will run as a Circle of Power and Respect (CPR) where we will Circle Up as a way to model building classroom culture and community.

The new tools will be used in our schools, and they will change much of how students and teachers work. If we are not thoughtful about how these tools show up in our practice, we run the risk of doing harm. \r\n\r\nGenerative AI should help us focus on the processes and the \"why\" learning, as much as the \"what.\" And if we seek to understand the promise and the challenges these tools create, we can hopefully keep the focus on student learning, not on the shininess of the tools themselves.","Link":["https:\/\/www.notlight.com\/","http:\/\/www.practicaltheory.org"],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"This will be a mixture small group and large group conversations.","Presenter":["Matthew Kay","Chris Lehmann"],"PresenterAffiliation":["Science Leadership Academy"],"PresenterEmail":["mkay@scienceleadership.org","clehmann@scienceleadership.org"],"ScheduleSlotID":158,"ScheduleLocationID":34,"SubmitterID":79,"AdditionalComments":null,"LiveChannel":null,"Hashtag":null,"VokleID":null,"RecordingURL":null,"ConferenceID":11},{"ID":1227,"Class":"Conversation","Created":1698880376,"CreatorID":79,"RevisionID":null,"Status":"Accepted","Title":"Stay Hungry Stay Foolish: A Conversation on Teaching for a Lifetime","Handle":"stay_hungry_stay_foolish--a_conversation_on_teaching_for_a_lifetime","ShortDescription":"We have heard that teachers are fleeing the profession: retiring early, leaving for consulting jobs, or burning out.  But that's not true of all teachers.  So just how does one stay engaged and engaging while aging?  How might we avoid both burning out and fading away.","Description":"As we age, teachers invariably face a dilemma:  Our youth, which used to tie us so closely to our students and which was vital to our relationships with them, invariably fades. Curricula become stagnant.  Ideas that once excited us rebound as hollow echos, and the vitality we know is crucial to the life of the class wanes earlier in the day.  \r\n\r\nThis is not a fiction. It is an inevitability (though certainly heightened by a. bit of hyperbolic description here).    It has happened to me as a 30 year veteran.
