"Educators need efficient tools to identify student needs, provide targeted support, and monitor progress—all while making informed decisions about interventions and core instruction. Built with input from teachers and literacy specialists, this MTSS-based tool streamlines student plan creation and progress tracking.
Leveraging Ed-Fi standards, it integrates seamlessly across multiple Student Information Systems (SIS), ensuring scalability for districts. In this session, we’ll showcase how the tool saves educators time, enhances data-driven decision-making, and improves both student support and schoolwide instruction.
Join us for a live demo and discussion on how this tool empowers schools to implement MTSS effectively while simplifying workflows."
Contests and challenges effectively teach software development and spark computer science interest. This presentation shows how structured competitions foster motivation, critical thinking, and technical skills. We'll spotlight East Metro STEAM Partnership's "The Edit," a digital storytelling contest where middle and high schoolers create 90-second news reports on relevant topics with Adobe tools. These contests reinforce programming concepts, build community, fuel creativity, and promote teamwork. We'll share best practices for designing them as gateways to computer science and explore in- and out-of-class uses. Educators will gain strategies to inspire the next wave of developers and computer scientists.
