Most mindfulness sessions tell you why it's good. This one tells you what happens when you actually try to implement it. After running mindfulness cohorts in schools in NYC and Texas across two years--we learned that the curriculum is the easy part. The hard part is adoption, sustainability, and what teachers actually need versus what we think they need. We'll share real data (MAAS scores, retention rates), honest failures, and the structural changes we made between school one and school two.

How can we prepare a generation to understand the renewed global nuclear threats when so many students know little about nuclear history or policymaking? This session features two nuclear policy experts-supporters of education on these issues-and spotlights public media's role in creating compelling video, primary sources, and inquiry-based learning to bring nuclear history and global security policy into the classroom. We'll explore how media-based tools can help teachers address topics like deterrence, disarmament, and democratic accountability in a complex world.

Full-Day Workshop: Join Tuva and the NSTA Professional Learning Team for a deep dive into using local data as evidence in making sense of complex phenomena. At the start of the session, educators will pose questions about a local anchoring phenomenon and use the Tuva Tools to explore and visualize real datasets in pursuit of answers. The latter half will include a community science experience, where participants will gather and analyze their own data. Participants will leave with practical strategies for guiding students to use mathematics and science practices to uncover patterns in their communities. All participants will receive breakfast and lunch. LIMITED SPACE AVAILABLE.
