About the Conference:
The AISD Science + Mathematics X Conference is 4-day professional learning experience open and free to all PreK-12 science and mathematics educators in the Austin area. This year marks our 5th anniversary, and we hope you will join us in making it our best conference yet. The conference will feature over 100 interactive and educator-led sessions aligned to 1 of 6 strands:
-
Student Agency – How do we release control and create opportunities for student voice, choice, and creativity?
-
Equity – How do we design learning opportunities and environments to be inclusive and responsive to each student through reflection of our practice?
-
Technology – How can we and our students use technology to create transformative learning opportunities that balance production and consumption and encourage collaboration?
-
Literacy – How do we improve students’ abilities to critically interpret, analyze, evaluate and author scientific and mathematic information?
-
Whole Child – How do we seamlessly promote the social, emotional, and physical wellness of our students and foster community and environmental citizenship?
-
Fundamentals – What are practical, easy-to-implement systems, strategies, and resources to support learning and accountability for each student?
All full-day sessions will occur on Monday, July 30th as part of the PreCon and require seperate registration; PreCon registration will open later this spring. General sessions will take place Tuesday, July 31st through Thursday, August 2nd.
The event is cohosted by the Austin Independent School District's Science and Mathematics Teams in partnership with St. Edward's University. To learn more, please visit our main website at https://www.asmxcon.com/.
