SUMMARY:Beyond the Worksheet: Amplify Activities for Beginners
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, participants will learn how to boost student engagement by using Amplify Classroom (formerly Desmos Activities) to get students interacting with visual tools and each other. You'll discover how students can share their ideas through sketches\, text\, numbers\, card sorts\, and multiple-choice activities—all while you watch their progress happen live and jump in with real-time feedback. It's a hands-on way to help your students think deeper and show what they know.

SUMMARY:Teach the Thinking\, Not the Script: The Impact of Intentional Lesson Preparation
DESCRIPTION:Lesson preparation is the intentional process of translating a lesson plan into a clear learning progression by anticipating student thinking\, planning exemplars and errors\, and scripting how students will actively engage to ensure mastery for all learners. In this session\, participants will learn how intentional lesson preparation creates high participation and think ratios\, strengthens student understanding and success\, and frees teachers’ cognitive space so they can prioritize listening to\, analyzing\, and responding to student thinking rather than managing what comes next in the lesson.
