What happens when students discuss ideas without speaking? Powerful thinking. In this session, teachers will experience a Chalk Talk from the student perspective and learn how this simple strategy can transform classroom discussions. We’ll explore how silent written conversations can build participation, deepen thinking, and naturally lead to stronger questions and richer dialogue. Participants will leave with ready-to-use prompts, facilitation tips, and strategies to help students move from quick answers to thoughtful, higher-level responses.
Teachers will understand the PowerUp Adaptive Blended Learning Model (this is not a sit and get, but a tool for actionable data and research-based resources)
Teachers will explore best practices and strategies for implementation including the 5-Minute Check in Data Routine and Lexia Resources
Teachers will have the opportunity to create a plan to implement PowerUp Best Practices
Please bring a device for some hands-on activities.
