Bridging the Gaps: Mapping Mathematical Connections Across Middle School Domains
Tuesday July 15, 2025 9:00am - 10:30am EDT
Citron East
Mathematics is not a collection of isolated skills—it’s a web of interconnected ideas that, when woven together, create a deeper and more meaningful understanding for students. In this session, we will explore how to map connections across domains to support students in making sense of math, strengthening fluency, and building confidence. Through engagement with grade-specific examples, interactive discussions, and hands-on mapping exercises, teachers will leave with strategies to seamlessly integrate these connections into their instruction.

Co-Teaching and Strategies to Implement the Bookworms Curriculum
Tuesday July 15, 2025 9:00am - 10:30am EDT
Sabal A
Join an international expert on co-teaching and a national expert on literacy as they share concrete, practical, and engaging strategies for helping all learners succeed using the Bookworms curriculum! Using a new curriculum can be difficult enough – adding a partner can make it easier or add to the complexities. By modeling various co-teaching approaches, the presenters will explicitly address roles and responsibilities, co-planning, co-instruction, and co-assessment. Both experts have special education backgrounds and are able to provide techniques to support a range of student needs – to include specific literacy skills as well as behavioral or social needs.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
• Define co-teaching and pinpoint its critical components
• Name and describe the various co-instructional approaches
• Identify ways that co-teachers can use regrouping approaches to differentiate for varying literacy needs using the Bookworms curriculum
