The answer lies in the intersection of financial literacy and equity. In this interactive session\, educators will explore how to use real-world financial concepts as a powerful lever for deep mathematical engagement. By framing core mathematical standards through inclusive Project-Based Learning (PBL)\, teachers can unlock access to complex STEM concepts for all learners\, regardless of their academic starting point. Through hands-on exploration\, participants will analyze ready-to-implement PBL units that turn students into financial analysts. We will examine classroom-tested projects where students decode credit scores\, simulate car buying\, analyze mortgage options\, and construct functional spreadsheet budgeting tools. Educators will discover how modeling exponential growth through compound interest and investing projects transforms abstract formulas into concrete tools for economic empowerment.

In this interactive session\, educators will unpack the updated framework for linear functions\, shifting focus away from rote memorization and toward dynamic real-world applications. We will explore how to use engaging context—such as linear programming\, resource constraints\, and data analysis—to bring concepts like systems of equations and varying solution types (one\, none\, infinitely many) to life.Participants will learn how to design low-floor\, high-ceiling learning environments that provide accessible entry points for all students without lowering academic expectations.

In this interactive session\, educators will dive into the newly redesigned Reading Domain\, which collapses separate categories—like literary texts\, informational texts\, and K–5 foundational skills—into a single integrated strand. Participants will explore how this updated framework pairs explicit\, systematic foundational instruction simultaneously with advanced text comprehension\, analysis\, and evaluation across all grade levels.\nThrough guided activities\, we will unpack the newly established Priority Standards in the Reading Domain. Educators will learn how these standards were chosen based on endurance\, leverage\, and future readiness\, shifting classroom instruction away from a checklist of text types toward dynamic\, multimodal genres. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of the new "big picture" standard structure and practical strategies to seamlessly blend decoding\, linguistic comprehension\, and student identity in daily lessons.\n CATEGORIES:ELA LOCATION:Orchard South\, Wenatchee Convention Center SEQUENCE:0 UID:7b3edddc39a960cac1f8750b4099c3c6 URL:http://standardspalooza26.sched.com/event/7b3edddc39a960cac1f8750b4099c3c6 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260618T100446Z DTSTART:20260811T211500Z DTEND:20260811T223000Z SUMMARY:K-12 Speaking\, Listening\, and Digital Forums in the Revised WA Standards DESCRIPTION:Communication in the modern era extends far beyond traditional face-to-face presentations and classroom discussions. Recognizing this shift\, the revised Washington State ELA Learning Standards have explicitly reimagined oral language by establishing the Speaking\, Listening\, and Digital Forums domain. In this interactive session\, educators will explore how this updated framework elevates communication skills from basic conversation rules into dynamic tools for collaboration\, digital literacy\, and civic engagement across all grade levels.\n\nThrough hands-on activities\, participants will map the progression of these standards from kindergarten through 12th grade. We will focus on how to design structured\, collaborative learning environments where students learn to synthesize diverse perspectives\, evaluate audio-visual arguments\, and communicate responsibly across asynchronous and synchronous digital platforms. Attendees will leave with practical\, classroom-tested frameworks to help students develop a confident voice while navigating the complexities of digital communication and public discourse.

All viewed through a previously unseen lens: math\nIn our current information economy\, math is everywhere.The people we date\, the news we see\, the influence of our votes\, the candidates who win elections\, the education we can access\, the jobs we get is all underwritten by an invisible layer of math that few of us understand\, or even notice.\nBut whether we know it or not\, our numeric literacy — whether we can speak the language of math — is a critical determinant of social and economic power.\nThrough a mosaic of personal stories\, expert interviews\, and scenes of math transformation in action\, “Counted Out” shows what’s at risk if we keep the status quo. Do we want an America in which most of us don’t consider ourselves “math people?” Where math proficiency goes down as students grow up? Or do we want a country where everyone can understand the math that undergirds our society — and can help shape it?\nThe film’s voices include the late civil rights icon Robert Moses as well as Talithia Williams\, associate professor of mathematics at Harvey Mudd University and TEDx speaker of “Own Your Body’s Data\,” Julia Angwin\, investigative journalist and founder of Proof\, Steven Levitt\, co-author of “Freakonomics.”\n\nThe Mercury News: Opinion: Why American democracy and prosperity depend on mathematical literacy\nFilm Week with Larry Mantle: ‘The Brutalist\,’ ‘Sonic the Hedgehog 3\,’ ‘Mufasa: The Lion King\,’ ‘The Count of Monte Cristo\,’ and More\nMath is FigureOutAble: Counted Out\nHerald Publications: Documentary ‘Counted Out’ Discusses Advocation for Inclusive Math Education\nSF Chronicle: “Math is a passport to citizenship in the 21st century\,” Danny Glover said\, “and particularly algebra.”\nOverly Honest Media: The Hidden Arithmetic of Everyday Life\nAmerican Mathematical Society: New and Noteworthy Titles on our Bookshelf\n \n\nhttps://countedoutfilm.com/screenings/ncesd-sci-math-team/ \;\n\n\n\n CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Gala Room 1 & 2\, Wenatchee Convention Center SEQUENCE:0 UID:f1f21f8bf19eb5ab09450f1cbdcfff2f URL:http://standardspalooza26.sched.com/event/f1f21f8bf19eb5ab09450f1cbdcfff2f END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
