Want the Perfect Lesson? Tell a Story.
Wednesday June 3, 2026 10:20am - 11:20am MDT

Teachers can harness the power of narrative structure to build engaging lessons. Come explore what conflict, rising action, and resolution look like through an educator's lens and discover how story structure can help you build compelling and rigorous instruction.

Data is a four letter word: Collecting data in non-testing environments
Wednesday June 3, 2026 1:45pm - 3:00pm MDT
Teachers know that data helps them understand their students' progress and plan for instruction. However, teachers who work in classes that do not have standardized tests sometimes struggle in collecting student data. Let us help you prep for your next CTESS cycle or simply help you better understand by using your current assignments and activities as the basis of formal data collection.
