SUMMARY:History\, Memory\, and the Mind: Applying the Science of Learning to the Social Studies Classroom
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, we will discuss the simple model of memory and explore the implications of the model for the social studies classroom. As a case study for applying this model\, we will examine the relationship between vocabulary\, “memory\,” and reading comprehension. The session will end with an in-depth discussion of retrieval practice\, an evidence-based methodology for building students’ background knowledge\, and examine the ways in which retrieval practice can lead to better outcomes in reading\, writing\, and critical thinking skills.

DESCRIPTION:Teaching high school freshmen can be an adventure. In this session\, teachers of freshmen at different levels (College Prep\, AP\, and IB) will share some ideas about what works well in their classrooms and what pitfalls they seek to avoid. They will also provide specific prompts to lead group discussions about what works well in other classrooms so that we can all spend time learning from each other. Come prepared to do a little venting\, a lot of problem solving\, and be ready to share your secrets for teaching among the chaos of ninth graders.&nbsp\; If you attended last year\, we will be covering parts of the presentation that we ran out of time to explore previously!

SUMMARY:History\, Memory\, and the Mind: Applying the Science of Learning to the Social Studies Classroom
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, we will discuss the simple model of memory and explore the implications of the model for the social studies classroom. As a case study for applying this model\, we will examine the relationship between vocabulary\, “memory\,” and reading comprehension. The session will end with an in-depth discussion of retrieval practice\, an evidence-based methodology for building students’ background knowledge\, and examine the ways in which retrieval practice can lead to better outcomes in reading\, writing\, and critical thinking skills.

In this session\, teachers of freshmen at different levels (College Prep\, AP\, and IB) will share some ideas about what works well in their classrooms and what pitfalls they seek to avoid. They will also provide specific prompts to lead group discussions about what works well in other classrooms so that we can all spend time learning from each other. Come prepared to do a little venting\, a lot of problem solving\, and be ready to share your secrets for teaching among the chaos of ninth graders.&nbsp\; If you attended last year\, we will be covering parts of the presentation that we ran out of time to explore previously!

In this hands-on professional development session\, educators will explore how students can use Google Slides and Google Drawings to create interactive digital escape rooms that demonstrate content knowledge\, critical thinking\, creativity\, and problem-solving. Rather than focusing on teacher-created escape rooms as review activities\, this session places students in the role of designer\, researcher\, storyteller\, and problem creator. Participants will experience a short digital escape room\, examine how Google Slides and Google Drawings can be used to create interactive environments\, and then design a small escape room of their own. Teachers will leave with a practical framework for helping students transform academic content into clues\, puzzles\, challenges\, and interactive experiences.
