In Canyons School District, we believe that all stakeholders benefit from purposeful technology integration within the learning process, focusing on student achievement. Educational technology will be used to empower teachers, students, and other stakeholders to gain the knowledge and skills needed to adapt, create, consume, and connect responsibly and ethically with the broader world in preparation for meaningful life opportunities.

This professional development session focuses on practical strategies to support students at different learning levels in both writing and math. In the writing portion, teachers will explore ways to support student thinking and participation through structured class discussions with sentence frames, guided brainstorming, and the use of clear rubrics to support students throughout the writing process. In the math portion, participants will learn how to incorporate engaging, student-friendly activities using Canvas, implement choice boards to provide differentiated practice, and build fluency and motivation through interactive practice. These strategies are designed to help teachers create accessible learning opportunities so every student can participate and grow.
This presentation will share lessons created to supplement the Wonders Newcomers Guide. These lessons support additional practice and monitoring of the target vocabulary. Come learn about how to access and use these lessons and all the supporting components.
