In this session, we’ll dive into teacher-led conferences, peer-to-peer feedback, and using Magic School to provide structured, actionable comments. Participants will learn strategies for building a culture of accountable talk, guiding students to give and receive “glows and grows,” and supporting all learners, including gifted and ESL students, through targeted, growth-focused feedback. Walk away with practical tools to make writing conferences engaging, efficient, and truly impactful.
This professional development session will focus on practical strategies for creating a differentiated classroom that meets the diverse needs of all learners. Participants will explore ways to adjust content, process, product and environment based on the student.
MAP data provides powerful insight into what students know and what they are ready to learn next—but the real impact comes from making that data actionable. In this session, teachers will learn simple, low-effort systems for translating MAP results into targeted IXL skill assignments that meet students exactly where they are. Participants will explore how to use MAP data to identify skill gaps, assign meaningful practice, and monitor growth without adding to their workload. These practical strategies help ensure every student receives the right level of support and challenge, empowering them to grow farther and faster than we thought possible.
