Accountability and Learning in a 21st Century Environment

(How to Use the Newest Technology in the Classroom)

 

The current world crises are a reminder that business as usual in all facets of life is no longer applicable. Yet, our education system continues on the same path despite the dire consequences that may result from this action. Leadership in the flat world, as described by Thomas Friedman in his book The World Is Flat, requires different strategies. Educators need to focus on principles that have made our nation great and capitalize on technology resources that insure every student has a chance to reach his or her optimum potential. This session will offer school administrators the opportunity to learn of technological best practices that will inspire them to take the leap into the 21st Century, including

  • future of learning,
  • 21st Century trends,
  • needs for 21st Century skills, and
  • assessing students in the 21st Century.

 

Sam Farsaii is a veteran teacher, administrator, and technology coordinator. He is currently serving as Director of Instructional Technology in Irving.

Legal Issues Impacting Students

 

Student achievement is the result of some factors, many of which go beyond the academic. Serving the total student means dealing with all aspects of student life, including legal issues that have far-reaching consequences. Information gained in this session will help participants sort out what they need to know in order to do their jobs and learn where to draw the line on the school’s involvement in family law disputes. This session will cover

  • family life issues such as divorce, custody, and custody disputes,
  • where to draw the line in family law disputes, and
  • legal requirements governing students’ records, including the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Texas Public Information Act.

In addition, having a working knowledge of all these legal issues will help participants in dealing with the day-to-day requests and questions that arise in dealing with students.

Elementary Mathematics in Action

 

In this session, participants will observe research informed practices that will promote application of learning through critical thinking and problem solving.  We will demonstrate quality lessons by using videos of elementary classroom students solving problems using manipulatives and pictorial models.  This session will also provide the PDAS appraiser with characteristics of effective instructional practices that can be used during walkthroughs and formal observations.

Participants will
