In today's digital age, students need to know how to respond to a prompt. The "prompt" could be classified as a written response, math procedural explanation, or a post to any social media platform. Given these diverse "prompts", students need to be able to differentiate how they respond or create a response that meets the context's demands. We are changing the "thinking" about responding to prompts by expanding to students'  receptive and expressive

capacity.

We will inspire teachers to utilize a variety of executive functioning techniques in order to maximize student-directed learning. Based on student needs in their classrooms, teachers will walk away with responsive strategies.

Reflect on why we as adults engage in problem behavior (don't lie, we know that you do)... Based on these reflections, it seems we learn problem behavior (just like we learn appropriate behavior, skills, etc.). So, our students learn problem behavior. After watching a video can attendees identify what a student is getting or avoiding when engaging in problem behaviors?

Goal is to inspire a vision in educators in building a bridge from elementary on up to college, where robotics students can move from grade to grade with a consistant link to a future in engineering. I’m counting on my own personal enthusiasm to inspire, but also giving the adult learners the opportunity to problem-solve with robot parts in their hands and see the potential... this will inspire as well.
