Small Moments, Lasting Impact: Designing for Belonging in the Classroom
Belonging lives in the everyday moments of teaching and learning. It shows up in moments we don’t always name, but students feel its impact. In this keynote, we will explore those moments and what they make possible for students in our classrooms, including how students come to see themselves as learners.

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.

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.

Fluency is Still the Thing
Monday July 13, 2026 2:40pm - 4:00pm PDT
Florentine D
But how does reading actually develop? Sharon Walpole will review research on oral reading fluency and provide the rationale for its central focus in Bookworms Shared Reading. She will share the relationship between automaticity with sounds, and patterns and text fluency. She will explain why the use of natural text for fluency work propels the self teaching mechanism central to building reading vocabulary. The session will include a challenge to Bookworms teachers and leaders to keep their eye on this prize.

Beyond Translation: Strategic Use of Home Language to Support Newcomer & Multilingual Learners
Tuesday July 14, 2026 9:00am - 10:20am PDT
Florentine D
Translating materials is often a go-to strategy for supporting newcomers or multilingual learners. While translations can be effective at certain times, multilinguals need opportunities to engage with English content to develop language alongside new learning. In this session, we’ll explore cross-linguistic strategies that allow children to use both their home languages and English while reading, writing, and talking about math.
