Be Curious, Not Judgmental: The Discipline of Coaching with Curiosity
Monday July 13, 2026 10:45am - 12:05pm PDT
Florentine D
“Be curious, not judgmental” is often treated like a mindset, but in coaching, it’s a discipline. Most leaders enter conversations with answers already in mind and use questions to guide teachers there. In this session, ELA and Math leaders will examine how judgment shapes coaching and how to interrupt it in real time. Participants will learn how to ask questions that actually open thinking and lead to meaningful instructional change.

From Concrete to Abstract: Supporting Mathematical Thinking Across Grades
Monday July 13, 2026 10:45am - 12:05pm PDT
Florentine A
This session will guide educators through the Concrete-Representational-Abstract (CRA) progression and how it supports mathematical thinking over time. Participants will explore how to scaffold learning from concrete experiences to visual models and, ultimately, to abstract mathematical concepts. Through collaborative activities and practical examples, educators will examine how models can deepen understanding, support stronger reasoning, and help students make meaningful connections in mathematics.

When Children Do the Thinking: Moving Beyond Engagement to Real Learning
Monday July 13, 2026 1:05pm - 2:25pm PDT
Florentine D
Most classrooms are filled with activity. The question is whether children are doing the thinking that leads to real learning. When children are not doing the thinking, they are not doing the learning. This session explores practical strategies that shift instruction from compliance to thinking, amplify learner voice, and create classrooms where children analyze, justify, and communicate their ideas. Participants will leave with strategies they can apply immediately.

Belonging by Design: Assessment and Differentiation in K–8 Math
Monday July 13, 2026 1:05pm - 2:25pm PDT
Florentine A
Students bring a wide range of experiences, assets, and strengths to math classrooms. In this session, participants will explore how embedded assessments and instructional supports can be used to design responsive instruction at the lesson level. Educators will examine how small, intentional adjustments to tasks, representations, and structures can support diverse learners while maintaining shared learning goals. Participants will leave with practical strategies for planning differentiated math lessons that create multiple pathways for students to engage, make sense of ideas, and contribute to the classroom community.

Strengthening Discourse, Understanding, & Belonging with Math Language Routines
Monday July 13, 2026 1:05pm - 2:25pm PDT
Florentine G
Mathematical discourse is about more than talking. It is about creating opportunities for students to reason, make sense of problems, and feel that they belong in the work of mathematics. In this session, participants will explore how Math Language Routines (MLRs) support meaningful discourse and interaction while strengthening mathematical understanding. Whether you are new to MLRs or already using them, you will leave with practical strategies for implementing these routines across grades and in a variety of instructional contexts.

Linguistically Responsive Assessment Practices in K–12 Mathematics
Monday July 13, 2026 2:40pm - 4:00pm PDT
Florentine G
All children, including multilinguals, have mathematical strengths that we want to uncover, but traditional assessment does not always fully capture these understandings. Let’s reimagine assessment! Together, we’ll learn how formative and summative assessments can be used creatively and multimodally with linguistically diverse students to provide us with better data and next steps. We’ll also discuss specific ways to involve & leverage families in the assessment and intervention process.
