The Power of PLAY in the ELA Classroom
Friday October 11, 2024 9:15am - 10:05am CDT
Science tells us play improves optimism, perseverance, connection, problem-solving, and emotional regulation. Play, too, can guide students to higher-level, analytic thinking. In this session, two teachers will share how we've used play in our classrooms, from those full of reticent readers and reluctant writers to the AP classroom. Students (and adults) benefit from play as an onramp to creativity. Come to play, and leave with dozens of at-the-ready play ideas to enhance the learning in your classroom!

Please ask me to play the accordion in the club room! I will also talk about poetry, teacher-writers, what everyone is reading, the NCTE George Orwell Award, and how ICTE helps me connect to other teachers who want to do right by our students.

Impactful Service Learning: Student Engagement and Community Collaboration
Friday October 11, 2024 1:00pm - 1:50pm CDT
Participants in this session will learn how to effectively collaborate with community organizations on impactful service learning projects that enhance student learning. Regardless of which texts students study, there are ample opportunities to take their learning beyond the classroom, bring what they read to life, and make a difference in their wider communities. Exploring high school students' experiences learning about the Syrian Civil War through literature and assisting with a home makeover for a refugee family in their community will provide both inspiration and a template for similar service projects.
