3	Classroom Chef: Make Math Meaningful	Every student can learn math. From the struggling student to the advanced/bored student, everyone can access math content at their level, and the #MTBoS has built free tools to craft a five-course meal around math. Join us as we analyze the difference between “lesson planning” and “preparing the kitchen,” and leave with loads of free resources to make math meaningful for your students.	--Describe general and abstract approaches to encourage risk-taking in the classroom --Gather resources and implement them into the classroom --Model and practice teacher behaviors to shift instructional workload from teacher to students	K-12	x	x				x	x				x
4	Classroom Dessert: Putting Assessment Into Students’ Hands	A fine meal is topped off by a carefully-crafted dessert; in the classroom, it’s called “assessment,” and it often lacks flavor. The authors of The Classroom Chef re-think how we assess our students, empowering them by tapping into their voice. Leave with ready-to-use resources for authentic assessment in your class.	--Ask for students' input on their practice using a Teacher Report Card (provided) --Plan opportunities for students to choose their own assessment (CYOA) to show mastery. --Use Desmos Activity Builder to craft a lesson where students can formatively assess in real-time under the teacher's watchful eye.

5	Favorite Tech Tools for Teachers (FTT4T)	As EdTech Coaches, we survey the landscape on a regular basis. We'll share some favorite tech tools that real teachers in our districts use (and we do, too), and you'll leave with new tools in your pocket.		K-12				x	x					x	x
6	Google Suite: Utilizing Google Apps	(Based on site need)		K-12				x	x					x	x
7	Parent Math Night with Q&A (75 min)	Having a hard time explaining "the new math" to your parents? Let us do the heavy lifting and deal with the grumblies first.		Parents	x					x		x	x
8	Common Core Math for Elementary Teachers	"Oh, I'm not a math teacher; I teach 4th grade." We hear that often, and we have good news: You ARE a math teacher and it isn't hard to make incremental shifts to become an EXCELLENT math teacher.		K-8	x	x				x			x	x	x
9	Appetizing Math Activities	Did you know there is a rag-tag band of math teachers that build stuff for each other? Did you also know that it's all free? Did you further know that those activities can be applied to any age, content, or lesson? Did I mention "free"?		K-12	x	x				x	x		x	x
10	Becoming a Classroom Chef, Part 1	The mountain of math material available to teachers is staggering and intimidating. Taking your classroom from "good" to "great" is a fuzzy, uncertain journey and it's tough to know where to start. Here's where you start.	--Utilize free activities that emphasize the SMPs --Focus on the process, not the result, of learning --Ask critical questions in class that build perseverance and patience	K-12	x					x	x	x	x
11	Performance Tasks Before Performance Tasks Were Cool	As we look to Common Core, we must shift our pedagogy toward deep, rich math projects instead of a standards checklist. This session showcases meaningful math projects that engage and motivate students toward precise reasoning and critical thinking.	Experience math instruction that attracts, inspires, motivates, and engages students as they apply practical skills to real world performance tasks Learn to create real-world CCSS-aligned experiences that draw students into math content Explore and consider applications of high-interest web-based resources Rediscover your passion for teaching mathematics	K-12	x	x							x
12	Classroom Chef (for Admin)	If site leaders believe that every student can learn math, we must believe that every teacher can teach it, even those who might say, “I’m not a math person.” Join two Classroom Chefs to discuss meaningful, accessible shifts in K-12 math education and how the support of a strong leadership team can make it possible. By building a classroom culture of risk-taking, all teachers and all students can enjoy math class.	--Recognize and encourage effective math instruction --Recognize and encourage teacher actions that build a culture of risk-taking in the classroom --Recongize and encourage risk-taking measures at a site level --Build a sustainable way to offer positive feedback	Leadership	x		x				x				x
13	STEM Academy	Desmos built a fantastic graphing calculator that millions of students around the world use for free everyday. On top of that calculator, teachers and Desmos staff create activities to help students experience all the curiosity, beauty, and sense-making that math has to offer. When it comes to transformative tools for math education, Desmos tops our list.		K-12	x	x			x						x
