Session A-3: Personalized Learning With Ementoring, Carl Heine, Jacki Naughton
Professional Learning Day
Discover effective ways to bring together high school students and mentors for personalized distance learning and research in STEM with teacher supervision. This session explores how schools, higher education and businesses use the Mentor Matching Engine, a free resource developed by IMSA, the Illinois Science and Technology Coalition and Northwestern University. Finding mentors for your students has never been easier.
Session A-2: Cycloids!, Ruth Dover
Session A-2: Cycloids!, Ruth Dover
Professional Learning Day
This session includes a hands-on exploration to see graphs of different types of cycloids. Participants will use trigonometry to create the parametric equations for the graphs. This topic lends itself nicely to projects for pre-calculus students. Software will be shown to help see more examples and patterns.
Session C-2: Getting Students To Ask Their Own Questions, Susan Bisinger
Session C-2: Getting Students To Ask Their Own Questions, Susan Bisinger
Professional Learning Day
The skill of asking their own questions can lead to greater student engagement and ownership of the learning process. Students formulate questions that will guide them to engage in scientific and mathematical practices as they classify, modify, evaluate, and prioritize what they want to learn. The Question Formulation Technique (QFT) guides you through strategies for incorporating student questioning into your lessons, leading students to think more critically and independently. Participants are encouraged to attend the session with an upcoming project, unit or activity in mind. You'll leave with a plan of action!
Session A-2: Totalitarianism: The Reality Versus The Myth, Lee Eysturlid
Session A-2: Totalitarianism: The Reality Versus The Myth, Lee Eysturlid
Professional Learning Day
This session will give attendees an understanding of the nature of dictatorship and propaganda and how to teach it. Emphasis will be placed on creating immediate ways that this topic can be brought alive to the student and made visually and intellectually clear. PPT materials will make alignment with the CCSS easy.
Keynote Address: It's 10 Am - Do You Know Where Your Students Are?, Sendhil Revuluri
Keynote Address: It's 10 Am - Do You Know Where Your Students Are?, Sendhil Revuluri
Professional Learning Day
When we attend to our students' learning–not just our teaching–we can become significantly more effective in helping them learn. This is a simple idea but not an easy one, and it may take some work to figure out how to do it. Let's explore some ways to illuminate students' current thinking (accurate or not), promote meaningful student discourse (helping them do more of the work), and collaborate with colleagues (thinking together). Benefit from "lessons learned" and discover some worthwhile resources that can help you make the shift and may even help to manage new standards and upcoming assessments.
Session A-4: National Archives Resources And The Common Core, Kris Maldre Jarosik
Session A-4: National Archives Resources And The Common Core, Kris Maldre Jarosik
Professional Learning Day
Discover the online resources of the National Archives and learn how they can support Common Core standards and help build the literacy skills of your students. We will explore sample U.S. history activities relating to the Civil War, American Indians, and World War II during this session.

Session D-2: Including World Religions In World History, Christian D. Nokkentved
Professional Learning Day
The major religions of the world are fascinating and belong in world history curricula, but can be challenging; especially if students are to be given the opportunity to read in the scriptures of diverse religions. This presentation will provide participants with a structure and suggested resources for setting up learning experiences that will facilitate student discussion of basic texts.
Session D-3: Discrete Mathematics: A Great Curriculum Connector, Donald Porzio
Session D-3: Discrete Mathematics: A Great Curriculum Connector, Donald Porzio
Professional Learning Day
Many topics that fall under the umbrella of Discrete Mathematics cut across the traditional high school curriculum areas of algebra, geometry, and pre-calculus. Come try some classroom-ready hands-on Discrete Mathematics activities that illustrate the true interconnectedness of mathematics.
Session B-2: Docsteach – An Online Tool For Teaching With National Archives Documents, Kristina Maldre
Session B-2: Docsteach – An Online Tool For Teaching With National Archives Documents, Kristina Maldre
Professional Learning Day
The latest National Archives web site, DOCSTEACH, invites teachers to explore thousands of documents in a variety of media from the National Archives holdings – items such as George Washington’s draft of the Constitution, photographs capturing WPA and Civil Rights activities across the country, and Ronald Reagan’s “Evil Empire” speech. This session will provide educators with an overview of DOCSTEACH and help prepare them to create and use primary-source based, interactive learning activities with their students.

Session C-1: What Goes Up Must Come Down – Are All Parachutes Created Equal, Mary Lou Lipscomb, Elizabeth Martinez
Session C-1: What Goes Up Must Come Down – Are All Parachutes Created Equal, Mary Lou Lipscomb, Elizabeth Martinez
Professional Learning Day
Participants engage in a guided inquiry: making a parachute and investigating its falling behavior; then develop a list of questions about the behaviors and determine which are testable. Next, small groups each choose one question to test and do so. Finally participants reflect on the process skills used. Although designed as a professional development activity, the lesson may be used with students to focus on testable questions or process skills necessary for scientific investigation.
