Data Driven Credit Recovery

Four years ago, West Jordan Middle School 9th grade students struggled with credit deficiency. During the 2013-14 school year, 9th graders failed 445 classes. Due to this concern, WJMS set out to create a system that would reduce this large number. These programs included Lion Lunch, Peer Tutoring, before/after school homework assistance, and Platinum Pride Time (PPT). Over the past 3 years, there has been a decrease in failing grades. During the 2016-17 school year, 9th graders only failed 54 classes. A large portion of success in this area revolves around the PPT program. Platinum Pride Time is facilitated during school hours where ninth grade students can receive additional academic help in their core classes (Language Arts, Math, Geography, and Science). They may work on missing assignments, projects, and assessments. When students have recovered credit from their core classes, they may also have the opportunity to recover their elective credits.

Team Based Learning

Team-Based Learning: Beyond Small Groups (2 hours) 8:00 - 10:00AM

Team-Based Learning (TBL) is a strategy to transform a classroom of students into high-performance learning teams. Let's face it; career technology students want more hands-on time in their learning. Many students don't like lecture, reading, or delayed feedback. How do we encourage them to come to class with 'first contact with content' so we don't waste valuable class time and can get to the hands-on part they really learn from? TBL answers this question and more!

This will be an interactive session as we demonstrate the Readiness Assesment Process! You will leave this class with ideas you can use in your classroom immediately, ideas that I have been using for over 10 years now and will show you how and why they work!

Connecting with Industry Through Capstone Programs

Connecting with industry partners is critical to providing students a competitive advantage in their post-secondary education and professional careers. When educators have the opportunity to connect with industry professionals, we are often asking for a guest speaker, feedback on our curriculum, or ideas that can guide our lessons. Yet there is often little if any actual connection between the industry and our student.

In this session, you will see how many CTE programs throughout our state are implementing a new style of learning through our Center for Advanced Professional Studies (CAPS) Programs. CAPS offers innovative high school programs connecting students to businesses and mentors all while completing projects for businesses to meet current market needs.
CAPS programs establish and nurture relationships with business partners that are mutually beneficial, sustainable, coordinated and multi-faceted. Our partners help shape curriculum, provide projects, support professional development, invest in equipment and supplies and provide job shadow opportunities, speakers, mentors, and internships.
Students fast forward into their future and are fully immersed in a professional culture. Challenging real-world problems, using industry standard tools and are mentored by actual employers, all while receiving high school credit. CAPS is an example of how business, community and public education can partner to produce personalized learning experiences that educate the workforce of tomorrow, especially in high skill, high demand jobs.

Problem Based Learning vs. Project Based Learning

In the struggle to define STEM Education and the critical components of student learning, industry has, for some time, shared with us their concerns over deficiencies they have observed in students’ knowledge and skill sets. Often educators focus primarily on course content, rather than engaging in discussions of how specific soft skills, 21st Century Skills, people skills, etc. are critical to success beyond the classroom. When discussions do happen about 21st Century Skills, they may never get to the practical integration of collaboration, critical thinking, creative problem solving, and communication with content. This session seeks to help educators use an industry-generated philosophy in their lesson development to focus instruction on integrating both content and 21st Century Skills. This integration philosophy marks the primary difference between project focused and problem-focused teaching.

How can we teach students to best anticipate expenses and pay for those expenses so college becomes more than a dream?

Closing Session: Keynote

Nate Ball is an Emmy-winning TV host, author, and mechanical engineer who became insatiably hooked on science and engineering at an early age. His childhood projects, which included a 1,000,000 volt Tesla coil and a kitchen-engulfing rocket fuel experiment gone awry, paved his way to MIT where he earned two degrees in mechanical engineering and two All-American honors in the pole vault. While in graduate school Nate became the youngest winner of the prestigious Lemelson-MIT Student Prize for his inventive work.
Nate is passionate about outreach to kids, as his own childhood enthusiasm for hands-on learning led him to an exciting and multifaceted engineering career. He has hosted the three-time Emmy and Peabody award winning PBS Kids TV series Design Squad and Design Squad Global since 2007, and has made appearances on the History Channel, MythBusters, various news networks and across the TED sphere. Nate’s latest endeavor is his newly launched illustrated science series for 1st through 3rd graders called Let’s Investigate with Nate, published by HarperCollins Children’s.
Nate is also the co-founder and CEO of Atlas Devices, a company that develops advanced access and rescue equipment for the military and first responders worldwide, including the Atlas Powered Ascender: a real-life version of Batman’s grappling hook setup. He is based near Boston where he lives with his amazing wife Cat and their two young sons, whose love of discovery is a constant inspiration.
