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.

Empower students to thrive by intentionally teaching executive function skills. This interactive session shifts the focus from managing behavior to building capacity. Learn actionable "adult moves"—modeling metacognition, creating predictable routines, and using visual tools—that help students plan, prioritize, and sustain attention, bridging the gap between external support and self-regulation.
As inclusion becomes the standard, general education classrooms are increasingly diverse, serving students with a wide range of needs. This session provides a practical overview of common special education classifications—including Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Other Health Impairment (OHI/ADHD), and Speech/Language Impairments. Moving beyond formal definitions, we will explore how these classifications manifest in daily learning, social interactions, and behavior. Participants will gain teacher-friendly strategies for implementing accommodations and modifications, foster a truly inclusive environment, and learn how to collaborate effectively with specialists to support every learner.
Discover how to move from reactive accommodations to proactive, inclusive design. This session explores the intersection of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and legal academic accommodations, demonstrating how UDL principles—multiple means of engagement, representation, and expression—can reduce the need for individual adaptations. Participants will walk away with actionable strategies to design flexible learning environments that proactively meet diverse learner needs, saving time while improving access for everyone.
Unlock the potential of inclusive education by mastering the art of mainstreaming. This session provides general and special educators with practical strategies to successfully integrate students with IEPs into the general education setting. Participants will explore collaborative teaching models, methods for differentiating instruction, and ways to foster a welcoming classroom culture that benefits all learners. Join us to learn how to move beyond compliance to create a truly supportive environment where diverse learners can thrive academically and socially.
