Reignite Passion: Embracing Technology and Learner Agency
Wednesday February 26, 2025 10:15am - 11:15am MST
Room 355 D
Reignite your passion for teaching by embracing technology and empowering students to take control of their learning journey. This session will show you how to break down barriers with customized learning experiences tailored to each student’s unique needs, ensuring success regardless of learning style, background, or ability. We’ll explore how AI and live data can help close achievement gaps while ensuring equitable access for all, fostering an inclusive school environment. This isn’t about teaching to the test—it’s about connecting learning to actual students. We’ll dive into how personalized learning allows teachers to meet students where they are, whether they’re passionate about coding, poetry, or even TikTok dances (yes, it counts!). With real-time data, educators can adjust lessons to match students’ interests and strengths, moving beyond one-size-fits-all worksheets to create custom learning experiences that make students feel seen and supported. Get ready to empower students by giving them control of their learning. This session emphasizes student agency, encouraging kids to take charge of their own learning journeys. No more passive students staring at the front of the classroom. Instead, personalized tools and AI enable students to set their own goals, choose their learning paths, and take ownership of their education. Teachers become guides, fostering an environment where failure is a stepping stone to growth, and students are encouraged to ask questions, push boundaries, and think critically. When you ignite student agency, they don’t just learn—they thrive. 🔥
