Leveraging Questioning Strategies to Enhance Math Experiences – 3/25/2027

by

Join Amy Wettengel & Chris Walters for a day of rich math tasks and deep questioning. In the morning, experience a series of math tasks as a student with a debrief focus on questioning types and strategies. Participants will examine questioning tactics that deepen learning and have space for intentional discussion around impact and benefits for gifted learners.

The afternoon structure will resemble a workshop model in which participants will bring or select a task for their classroom on which they want time to design, plan, and build intentional questioning supports based on the learning from the AM.
This session is ideal for any teacher ready to expand their low floor, high ceiling skillset and looking for new ways to challenge all learners. This session counts for 6 hours of gifted HQPD.

The 5 Keys to Successfully Supporting Behavior, by Kelly Mahler, OTD, OTR/L, FAOTA – 1/28/2027

by

This course takes a closer look at current trends in behavior assessments and traditional behavior-based supports, considering both their influence and the common concerns that come with them. From there, participants will explore affirming alternatives that go beyond surface-level behaviors and get to the root of regulation needs in children and adults across diverse learning profiles.

These alternatives are organized into the 5 Keys to Supporting Behavior Regulation:

  • Key 1: Building Positive Relationships & Understanding the Whys
  • Key 2: Meeting Sensory Needs
  • Key 3: Increasing Predictability & Using Visual Supports
  • Key 4: Providing Communication Supports
  • Key 5: Interoception & Empowering Self-Regulation

Throughout the course, participants will gain practical strategies for each of the 5 Keys, offering meaningful, neuro affirming ways to support behavior regulation.
