Do your students struggle to communicate their thinking in math class? HB 257 (2026) mandates writing across disciplines in all grades. This session will explore strategies that can be used to increase written communication in the classroom. Both formal and informal writing will be addressed, including writing to learn, writing to demonstrate learning, and writing for publication. It will also provide instructional strategies and ways to incorporate technology in the process. Throughout the day, participants will work in grade bands to tailor the work to their student needs.
It will be beneficial if participants bring a computer and any rubrics they use for extended response or short answer, as well as HQIR materials.
Target Audience: Teachers, Instructional Coaches, District Leaders
