Hi everyone – we are so grateful for all of your comments, suggestions, and ideas for the opening session. The response was well beyond our expectations and now we get to analyze all of your comments and feedback to plan the opening session! Our goal is to make the opening session a memorable experience for all that are involved and one that we'll all still be talking about in the future. It's not an easy task – but we've got the right folks around the table working to make that happen.
And now on to the big news – speaker proposals are LIVE! Please consider submitting a proposal to speak at the 2017 Orlando Regional Conference. The event will be held in beautiful Orlando from October 18–20, 2017, and if your proposal is accepted your registration fee will be waived. That's a 100% savings!
The following strands and descriptions were developed by your Orlando Planning Committee in an effort to help presenters prepare sessions. We can't wait to read your session proposals and to join you in Orlando!
Teaching Strategies that Promote Learning
Presentations will provide opportunities for participants to explore, identify, and/or develop high quality mathematical tasks and instructional practices, as well as how to integrate them into existing practices.
Access and Equity for Students
Presentations will investigate social justice, access, identity, and equity issues as well as effective methodologies aimed at addressing the needs of our diverse range of learners in an effort to ensure their success in today's mathematics classrooms.
Empowering Your Mathematics Curriculum
Presentations will examine the key mathematical ideas and the importance of coherent learning progressions that foster mathematical connections within or between grades and the real world.
Incorporating Mathematical Tools and Technology
Presentations will focus on current and innovative practices that incorporate the strategic use of mathematical tools and/or technology that enhance students' learning and understanding of mathematics.
Assessment of and for Learning
Presentations will emphasize best practices related to formative, diagnostic, and summative assessment and how to interpret and use the results before, during, and after instruction.
Cultivating Professional Collaboration and Growth
Presentations will focus on and explore ways to bring teachers together to create communities to support effective mathematics teaching through meaningful collaboration and ongoing professional learning.
