MATH FAIRS
Monday March 24, 2025 9:30am - 10:30am EDT
Whalley
For the past several years VCTM has held an annual Saturday MATH FAIR for students. Any elementary, middle school, or high school student is welcome to present as an individual or in a group. They can choose what area of mathematics they would like to feature. This is a half day activity, and we have been fortunate to be able to hold it at UVM. We even held a virtual MATH FAIR one of the Covid years! We have been very pleased with what students bring to this effort. If you attend this conference session, we can share with you our “hints” to sponsor a successful MATH FAIR. We may even be able to show you some of the super presentations that students have done in the past. We think that it is amazing what students can do when given the chance!

Acceleration: Equity and Intervention for Overcoming Learning Gaps FULL
Monday March 24, 2025 9:30am - 10:30am EDT
York
Accelerated learning for all students puts equity at the center of learning. Come and learn more about an Acceleration model that is being developed and used to close learning gaps for all students in one Connecticut district. We will explore what is meant by accelerated learning, how it supports learning for all students and how shifts in educator mindset and goals can change outcomes for students.

Meet the CT Newly-Required HS Finance Course with a Full-Year Math Credit
Monday March 24, 2025 9:30am - 10:30am EDT
Church
Advanced Algebra with Financial Applications is an alternative course for struggling students who need to take 3-4 years of math to graduate, and for whom Algebra 2 is a daunting task. Additionally, future CT high school graduates will be required to take a finance course, and this course can meet the standards for that course. Consequently. all math students can take it as an elective--it meets the needs of every single student.

Coaching Walks: Supporting Math Coaches' Development FULL
Monday March 24, 2025 10:40am - 11:40am EDT
College A
Just as athletes or musicians improve through regular practice, instructional coaches can sharpen their skills through regular practice observations opportunities. This session introduces “Coaching Walks,” a low-stakes, high-frequency practice designed to build coaches' capacity to observe instruction for impact on student learning. Through partnered brief classroom visits, coaches move beyond surface-level observations of engagement and focus on the true impact of instruction on student learning.

Debunking the Science of Math: The Research that Really Matters FULL
Monday March 24, 2025 10:40am - 11:40am EDT
Whalley
Using video and student work samples on three topics (multiplication, data analysis, and algebra), participants will be actively engaged in analysis of the math ideas being generated by students in multi-diverse settings. Evidence is presented that learning is progressive and developmental in nature best depicted as a complex network of pathways comprised of strategies, big ideas, and models. Transmission in most cases does not develop this required thinking. Professional learning and student achievement results from two districts are provided as further evidence.

The Power of High Dosage Tutoring: A Case Study
Monday March 24, 2025 1:50pm - 2:50pm EDT
Whalley
Research suggests that high-dosage tutoring can have a positive impact on traditionally marginalized students. However, tutors often have less training than teachers, and many teachers find the relationship difficult to navigate. It can also be challenging to select the right structure and curriculum for your setting. This session will explore one middle school’s implementation of high-dosage tutoring including logistical considerations, training, curriculum design and implementation, and navigating the teacher/tutor relationship.
