Opening Keynote: An Introduction to Equity Literacy for Math and Science Educators
Despite the popular notion that math and science classrooms are culture-free and safe from the sorts of biases and inequities that crop up in other subject areas, a closer look reveals a variety of equity concerns to which math and science educators should attend. In this workshop, based on the equity literacy framework (strengthening educators’ literacy related to equity), we will explore those concerns, including matters of curriculum, pedagogy, student engagement, and classroom climate.

Maximizing Mental Agility
The workshop highlights six facets of human thought that are simultaneously hidden and obvious. Most of us are unaware that these factors control the way that we think, and yet, when we are told about them, we recognize situations where they have affected our thinking. By making these characteristics explicit, we give people more insight into the strengths and weaknesses of their own thinking. We then provide specific techniques based on these insights that they can use to be more effective in the workplace and beyond. **Open to AISD staff only**

Purposeful planning provides a structure that encourages teachers to identify essential academic vocabulary and plan how they will support targeted words during instruction. This information is then used to construct interactive word walls and plan powerful, age-appropriate vocabulary building experiences for students. This vocabulary-driven process focuses team meetings and ensures that all lesson materials are aligned to standards with fidelity and it supports a robust and informed review of instructional materials. In this session, we will review a Vocabulary Planning Document that provides a systematic approach to selecting vocabulary and lesson materials that are aligned with standards.

Fostering Growth Mindsets through Teacher Actions
Focusing on Growth Mindsets, this session will employ several innovative facilitation strategies to powerfully engage each attendee in listening and speaking in order to clarify misconceptions about Growth Mindsets and to learn strategies to foster Growth Mindsets in students and colleagues.  The session arises out of an NSF-funded comprehensive program of change called PAGE.  PAGE takes teams of strategically placed individuals within schools and districts and prepares them to work with their students and colleagues to enact social change within their institution, making it a more inclusive environment in which to learn, engage in, and identify with STEM. During the session, Liesl will employ several innovative facilitation strategies including: (1) practicing growth mindsets, (2) enacting group norms, (3) using a talking stick in dyads, (4) using the Art of the Focused Conversation question cycle, and (5) Talking Token group conversations.

Maximizing Mental Agility
The workshop highlights six facets of human thought that are simultaneously hidden and obvious. Most of us are unaware that these factors control the way that we think, and yet, when we are told about them, we recognize situations where they have affected our thinking. By making these characteristics explicit, we give people more insight into the strengths and weaknesses of their own thinking. We then provide specific techniques based on these insights that they can use to be more effective in the workplace and beyond. **Open to AISD staff only**
