2020 HPISD Winter Learning Conference: Full Schedule

8:00am CST

Rescuing Resilience in Our Schools

Limited Capacity seats available

Keynote discussion that provides a data-driven exploration of the critical skills and emotional resilience that seem to be fading in America’s brightest generation. Despite our best efforts as educators, the CDC and National Institute of Health (NIH) share deep concern for young adults, as evidence for increasing anxiety, depression, and suicide in most young age groups continue to rise. This presentation explores plausible causes for this worrisome trend and realistic strategies that should be implemented in school districts to improve the situation. Finally, the emotional impact that unstable students often place on staff and what can be done to navigate these difficult demands is thoroughly reviewed.

Rethinking Classroom Design

Limited Capacity seats available

The purpose of this session is to help teachers envision classroom environments that support flexible learning. How you design your classroom can help ignite engagement, keep students on task, and cultivate collaboration. We'll think together about how to make room for whole-group, small-group, individual, and teacher work spaces. We'll consider challenges of movement, transitions, and collaboration. We'll see how light, color, and sound impact our learning space. Time will be given for working on your own simple classroom layout plan and brainstorming with colleagues on solutions to common space problems. Workshop is focused on establishing spaces to support flexible learning in workshop classroom environments, K-8, but content is potentially relevant for all grade levels and content areas, depending on interest.

The Hype About Hyperdocs

Limited Capacity seats available

As teachers, we hear constantly about 21st century learning - molding students to be creative, collaborative, critical thinkers, and communicators. Then we ask them to sit quietly, while we explain everything, and tell them exactly how it’s to be done. HyperDocs - transformative, interactive Google Docs replacing the worksheet method of delivering instruction - are a great way to shift instruction from traditional, lecture-based learning to more student-centered learning. HyperDocs are created by teachers and given to students to engage, educate, and inspire learning. What could you put on a Google Doc it to engage, educate and inspire your students? Please bring your laptop and an idea about a lesson that you could transform using HyperDocs.
