Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) or Tapping for Students
Thursday February 6, 2025 12:45pm - 1:45pm MST
Some simple yet effective EFT tools will be taught and modeled. If you wish to help students face their fears, calm their anxiety and enhance their capacity to focus, Tapping is a great tool to teach. This session will provide some new tools to help students who are sometimes dysregulated to learn how to calm their nervous system and be more available to learn. It's a great addition to Brain Gym techniques. This session could be beneficial for Division 1 and Division 2 teachers. Emotional Resilience can be taught!

The Science of Language Learning for Schools and Homes
Friday February 7, 2025 11:30am - 12:30pm MST
This presentation will outline how successful language learning happens for children. The structure will be to answer the following questions by outlining the latest research and then providing examples from in-school experience. 1.) What is unique about a child's first language acquisition, and how is it different from animal communication or AI-based language? 2.) When does child language learning begin and what are the critical periods for language learning? 3.) Who are the people that an ideal language development community requires and are screens helpful or harmful for language development? 4.) Where are the spaces that language learning occurs most successfully? 5.) How can home, school, and outside contexts be transformed into language-rich environments? 6.) Why is language development so vital to a child's social, academic, and future vocational success? 7.) Which language outcomes are the most important? Each of these questions will be answered in a way that attendees can understand and apply to the classroom, as well as the home and the community.

Math Intervention Made Easy with Cross-Number Puzzles
Friday February 7, 2025 11:30am - 12:30pm MST
Have you been struggling to determine why your students are unable to grasp basic numeracy concepts? This session will present the MathImagine Foundation’s Cross-Number puzzles based on extensive Math Recovery research and theory. As students work through the Cross-Number puzzles, you will be able to easily identify the concepts. Not only does it then become clear why they are “not getting it,” but more importantly, what needs to be done so they can move forward.
