Presentation Descriptions

#1 Getting the Growth Mindset: Not Yet is OK! Michele Piskol

(PK-12+, Coaching): Sunday, Salon A from 1:00-2:00 p.m. In this session, we explore the growth mindset and how to get students to think beyond mastery but instead to growth. This session provides activities to incorporate throughout the year to make Mindset work continual.

#2 Working Together for Meaningful Change Jessica Miller, Katelyn Slack, and Courtney Flessner

(PK-8, Coaching): Sunday, Salon B from 1:00-2:00 p.m. In this session, participants will have the opportunity to explore the relationship between the Math Consultant, Building Coach, and Classroom Teacher as they work together to implement best practices and instructional strategies from professional development workshops. We will explore the question: “After the consultant leaves, how do you use acquired knowledge in a way that works for you and your students?” Instead of providing multiple examples of this relationship, in this session we will focus specifically on how the consultant, coach, and teacher can work together to use new ideas alongside an adopted textbook, making them work for you without feeling overwhelmed.

#3 Make Your Class the One They Don’t Want to MIss Andrea Hess and Kelly Wisley

(3-8): Sunday, Salon C from 1:00-2:00 p.m. Sometimes getting and keeping students engaged can seem like the impossible. From tired, bored students to students who have way more on their minds than math, engaging them can be a tall task for even the best teachers. During this presentation, we will give you (and you will participate in) many different activities we use in our classrooms to ramp up the engagement. Ever thought about using fly swatters during your math lesson? How about a scavenger hunt to get students up, moving, AND doing math? Got a set of dice? The engagement opportunities are limitless. Maybe it is a lecture day. How can you make that engaging? It can be done! We will also be highlighting some of our favorite websites for individual, small group, and whole class activities. You will leave this workshop with a plethora of activities (both using technology and not) and tips to keep even the most "tuned-out" student interested in math class.

#4 Hardcover Graphic Novel Featuring Math-Themed Teenage Superheroes Jim McCain

(General): Sunday, Salon D from 1:00-2:00 p.m. Jim McCain has presented on how to use comics to teach math from San Diego Comic Con to New York Comic Con, as well as the American Library Association Annual Conference. I promise you, you won’t regret his presentation!

#5 STEM = High Student Engagement Janice Mitchener

(6-12): Sunday, Salon E from 1:00-2:00 p.m. Want to ignite your classroom? Roll up our sleeves and get hands-on with STEM using the TI-84 CE graphing calculator.

#7 Teaching Mathematics through Problem-Solving: PBL in a Math Classroom Josh Giebel

(6-12+, Coaching): Sunday, Salon 2 from 1:00-2:00 p.m. Fight apathy with authenticity! Research shows project-based learning is closing the engagement, equity, and achievement gaps. Participants will see how PBL can drive engagement, rigor, standardized test scores, and workforce development skills. Participants will leave the session with resources and examples of PBL projects to share with colleagues. In this presentation, I will share my experience teaching mathematics in a project-based learning setting. I will share the fundamental principles of PBL, the research supporting PBL in all classrooms, my personal experience with PBL, and some concrete next steps for people interested in using PBL in their classrooms. Additionally, I will provide some examples of projects that I've used in my classroom, including student work and testimonials.

#8 Learning Progressions: Structured Conversations Around Content John Ulbright and Nicole Caulfield

(PK-8, Coaching): Sunday, Salon 6 from 1:00-2:00 p.m. This session will give participants insight into how teachers – with support from instructional coaches – have been using conceptual learning progressions to rethink their approach to math instruction. By actively constructing a learning progression, participants will consider how this structure could impact teachers’ thinking, planning, and assessing – ultimately leading to improved student learning. Along the way we will share the evolution of our approach and the decisions we’ve made to better meet our teachers’ needs.

#9 Flip or Flop: Flip or Flop: Making 1:1 work in the Mathematics Classroom Tiffany Dickson

(6-12): Sunday, Salon 7 from 1:00-2:00 p.m. This presentation will go through what a flipped classroom is (if you don’t already know), how to flip your classroom, ways to hold students accountable, and what I have learned that works and doesn’t work in a flipped classroom. Resources and examples will be shared. You will leave with all the information needed to flip or partially flip your classroom, so that you don’t flop.

#10 This is Getting Real: Having Students Apply Mathematics by Creating Models for the World Around Them Mike Spock

(9-12): Sunday, Salon 8 from 1:00-2:00 p.m. This session will discuss how to create, lead and assess mathematical modeling projects while also presenting examples that have been used in the classroom. Mathematical modeling projects are challenging. They involve messy data, making assumptions, defining variables, designing a model, evaluating the model and communicating about the model to others. In a classroom, every team will likely have a different answer and they could all be useful models. Mathematical modeling projects increase student engagement and strengthen their ability to communicate mathematically. They encourage higher level thinking as students connect what they have learned to real world scenarios. Students use creativity and teamwork and develop useful skills for this world full of data!

#11 Using Desmos as a Discourse Power Up Luke Walsh

Kids need to know their basic facts and how these facts apply to broader mathematical concepts. Come learn (and play!) math games that encourage kids to justify their thinking, apply their knowledge, and move beyond traditional drill-and-kill activities.

#13 The Power of Having More Time to Teach! Susan Hammack

(PK-12, Coaching): Sunday, Salon C from 2:15-3:15 p.m. The role of the classroom teacher has changed in today’s world. More is expected, yet adequate tools aren’t provided to meet these expectations. This seminar will provide the tools and will teach powerful, effective strategies to be used immediately in the classroom. You will become a proactive, self-controlled teacher who can learn to see and take the right course of action when challenged. This leading-edge seminar demonstrates highly successful discipline strategies/tools that work! You’ll have time to teach because your classroom will be a safe, calm, productive environment. You’ll be able to spend time doing what you do best-teaching; and your tool box will be filled to overflowing.

Armstrong Teacher Educator Award

We bring some of Indiana’s best educators to Bloomington to work with future teachers. The Armstrong Teacher Educator Award is more than a “teacher of the year” award. In addition to recognizing educator excellence, the award provides financial support for top Indiana educators to work with current IU faculty and undergraduates in the classroom and early field experiences.

Since 1997, this award has been funded through the generosity of the Martha Lea and Bill Armstrong Fund and the Cook Group companies.

The Benefits of Becoming an Armstrong Teacher Educator Armstrong Teacher Educators receive reimbursement for travel and lodging expenses when visiting the Bloomington campus, funding to pay for a substitute teacher while they’re away from the classroom, and a $500 honorarium for their participation in a fall semester discussion panel at IU.

To recognize and support their intensive involvement throughout the school year, Armstrong Teachers-in-Residence receive additional funding and support.

How to Nominate a Teacher Armstrong Teacher Educators must be nominated by their district superintendent in consultation with their building principal (one nomination per district). When they have identified a teacher to nominate, superintendents write a nomination letter which the teacher will include in their application packet. Nomination packets are sent to every Indiana school and school district in November of each year. We especially encourage nominations of persons of color, applicants with disabilities, and members of other under-represented groups.
