Re-imagining Text Sets for 21st Century Learning and Literacy

Feedback Survey

As we prepare all of our diverse learners to develop the sophisticated advanced literacy skills needed to meet the academic, civic and workplace demands of the 21st century, we recognize the important role that technology plays in instructional design. In this session, teachers will learn how the ready-to-implement strategy of text sets infuses literacy skills aligned to the Next Generation English Language Arts Standards and 21st-century society. Text set activities created on the KidOYO virtual space provide students with a personalized learning experience that builds their conceptual knowledge of a particular content while at the same time empowers them to develop their argumentative and conversational skills through creative and reflective problem-solving. The use of text sets allows teachers to support students’ individual learning needs by offering engaging and leveled texts, texts that represent diverse learning styles and preferences, and by embedding key focus questions that support specific reading and writing skills. Presenters will share examples of how teachers in the Mineola School District currently implement these text set activities to promote self-regulated, 21st century learning for all learners, thus enhancing the district’s mission of lifelong learning.

Making Genius: Personalize Learning Through Inquiry and a Maker's Mindset

Feedback Survey

How might we turn students' natural curiosity and passions into valuable learning experiences? The PBL approach provides students with inquiry based learning in which they gain a deeper understanding of the content, while also building complex thinking skills. Genius Hour, while also inquiry based, allows students to guide their own learning through personal interests. Student voice and choice are emphasized in both approaches and through these strategies students are designing, creating, and doing extraordinary things. Student project examples, resources and a step-by-step guide will be shared.

KEYNOTE PANEL: Personalized Learning to Empower Every Child Keynote Panel

Feedback Survey

Personalized learning is not the latest fad in education. Educators can be challenged to distinguish personalized learning from other technology-enhanced instruction such as blended learning, differentiation and flipped learning. With personalized learning, the student is at the center of all learning, not the content or device. By empowering the learner with voice and choice, engagement and mastery is increased. The panelists will discuss the personalized learning success stories from each of their districts with examples on how to unlock student-centered learning in every classroom. Questions from the audience are highly suggested as we hope to create a conversation around best learning practices.
