Mastery in the Classroom: Assessment That Matters
1:00 pm–1:50 pm
It is impossible to know how long anyone is going to take to learn anything. More importantly, the rate at which we learn something shouldn’t affect the value of that learning. What does this mean? It means that, in an age where information is everywhere, we need to be empowering students to pursue true mastery of content, no matter how long that takes. The tricky part is how to make it practical and possible in a classroom walled in by pacing guides, lots of students, and deadlines. Join me to acquire an understanding of why mastery matters, how to get started on the journey, and the different tools that can make managing it much more…manageable.
Stepping Off the Stage: Student-Driven Methods That Matters
5:00 pm–5:50 pm
So often we hear the phrase “guide on the side, not sage on the stage,” but what does that really mean? Does it mean direct instruction is wrong? We’ll talk about these questions and look at methods for helping students interact with content in ways that connect with what we know about the brain, what we know about students, and what we know about the skills students need to be successful in the modern world. Attendees will acquire four major structures for helping students grapple with new content that they can apply to any lesson.

ReImagine WA Ed Tech Tool Bonanza
10:00 am–10:50 am
Last May this crazy group of educators got together to host a YouTube Live Tech Tool Bonanza. https://youtu.be/uqvzgO9d6DU We’re back at NCCE with more fast paced Tech Tool Fun. Brought to you by the team of educators behind the ReImagine WA Ed program.
Driving their Learning: Student-ownership that Matters
1:00 pm–1:50 pm
We hear about student ownership, but what does that really mean? More importantly, how do we ensure we are providing ownership to students in ways that will actually enhance their learning? This session aims to address those two questions with practical, classroom-based strategies and techniques to ensure that student ownership is truly driving learning forward. We will discuss methods for providing students access to their data to inform their choices, how to teach students the skills they need to be an independent learner, and how to hold students accountable in equitable ways throughout the process.
Commenting with Power: Feedback That Matters
4:00 pm–5:30 pm | Workshop
While teachers want feedback going into students’ brains, most often that feedback just end up in the trash, digital or otherwise. This workshop introduces new methods for providing feedback in ways that actually spur new learning by using a medium that matters for students and helping create structure around what we do with feedback. Attendees will be exposed to the research around feedback, learn new tools that make feedback more meaningful, and then actually build their own structure and methods for providing feedback that matters.
Saturday, March 20th
The Indicators: Classroom Innovation That Matters
11:00 am–11:50 am
Based on the in-progress book, this session will cover essential indicators that must be in place for “innovation” to truly be innovative in the classroom. We so often see all the flashy projects and things kids are doing, but we miss the elements under the surface that really make those experiences matter. Attendees will walk away with look-fors in the classroom to ensure that they have a foundation from which they can build truly innovative classrooms, as well as planning resources to get them started.
Empowering a Changing Learner: Learning Experiences That Matter
2:00 pm–3:30 pm | Workshop
When we talk about motivation, engagement, and (most importantly) empowerment, we have to recognize that the world our students live in impacts how we can tap into those elements. In this workshop, we’ll examine three major shifts we can make to tap into the drive our students already have, and after each shift, we will take time to build a learning experience that empowers students to be themselves and make a difference.
