Welcome to Johnston County Public Schools IGNITE2018 Symposium! We are excited to embark on this journey with you. This year’s event is designed around 4 Quests. Our hope is that if you follow a Quest over the 2 days your understanding will be deepened and you will find more relevance to your practice. There are 3 kinds of sessions: Connect (Edcamp style sessions) Learn (content delivery sessions) Innovate (implementation planning sessions). Begin by selecting one of 4 Quest Options:
SBTL (Standards Based Teaching and Learning)
CORE (CORE Instruction)
Learner Agency
Learner Centered Practices
Here is a link to the Quest Cards that might be helpful in seeing the specific sessions by Quest.
To begin crafting your quest you will need to follow these steps.
Step 1: Select all your required sessions (filter by "All Quests" to see these options) - Opening, Lunch, Toolbox, Innovate and Closing Sessions
Step 2: Select your Learn sessions, please use the "filter by type" option on the right hand side to help you plan the remainder of your quest by topic.
IMPORTANT NOTE: some options are in multiple quests - they are denoted on the quest cards, but to see those in sched you will need to use the filter that says "Multiple Quests." Pick from those first, they will fill up fast.
Step 3: In order to earn the 1.5 Digital Learning Competencies, your schedule should include 1 Connect, 5 Learn Sessions and 1 Innovate session (Note: you must also submit an artifact of implementation and a brief reflection after the symposium)
Description: Have you been hearing the buzz word, "Personalized Learning" and want to try it in your classroom? Do you feel like it is overwhelming? In this session participants will hear practical strategies on implementing personalized learning in the elementary classroom. Participants will understand how learning targets can be used to structure a classroom that allows for student growth and achievement at their own pace. Presenters will share strategies for using pre assessments, structures for the classroom, and ways to easily provide quick and meaningful feedback to students on a daily basis. Personalized Learning is a way to reach all students where they are and in this session participants will see how it is all possible! Rationale: By the end of this presentation participants will be able to: - Be exposed to a model of personalized learning in the classroom - Understand how to utilize learning targets to format personalized learning in the classroom. -Organize student conferences to provide appropriate feedback daily. - Understand how to use a pre-assessment to determine student knowledge and guide instruction for individual students.
