Grounded in the latest research in neuroscience and cognitive load\, participants will analyze how emotions like anxiety can influence student thinking and engagement during a math lesson. Using real classroom examples\, hands-on activities\, and collaborative planning\, teachers will learn to identify signs of math anxiety and apply instructional moves that can build student confidence\, deepen math understanding\, and support all learners. By the end of the session\, participants will be able to design or modify a lesson incorporating strategies to reduce anxiety and promote meaningful mathematical thinking. \nAudience: Elementary\, Middle\, and Secondary teachers\, Administrators\, Classroom Assistants\, Paraprofessionals\, and Math CoachesLength: One Day WorkshopPresenter/s: Jesse Vickers\, M.S.\, Instructional Science & TechnologyDate: Tuesday\, July 21\, 2026Time: 8:30 am-3:30 pm \nOutcomes \n\nExplain how math anxiety impacts working memory and student performance in mathematics.\nIdentify indicators of math anxiety in student behaviors\, language\, and engagement during math instruction.\nApply instructional strategies that reduce cognitive load and support student confidence during math tasks.\nDesign a math lesson or task that incorporates strategies to reduce anxiety and promote conceptual understanding.\n\nTopics/Schedule \n\nWelcome\nWhat is Math Anxiety?\nCommon Triggers\nCase Studies\nMath Anxiety Scenarios\nStrategies that Build Confidence\nLesson Planning and Practice\nReflection\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Teacher Bio\nJesse Vickers is a High School Math Teacher at Chartwell School\, where he has supported students using a blend of rigorous instruction and project-based learning.

Do you want your students to become independent with managing their time\, space\, material\, and information? This 1-day workshop will provide an overview of executive functioning\, including the practical application of skills\, strategies\, and tools that promote executive functioning growth for elementary and secondary students.  \nTime will be allotted to develop\, practice and apply some of these concepts during the session to see how the skills can be applied to your individual classroom. Participants should bring materials that they currently use/will use with students for the application portions of the seminar in order to see how the skills apply to their own curriculum (and classroom materials/resources). \nAudience: Elementary and Secondary Teachers\, Administrators\, Literacy CoachesLength: One Day Workshop Presenter/s: Billy Swift and Lisa BenjaminDate: Thursday\, July 23\, 2026Time: 8:30am-3:30pm \nOutcomes \n\nDefine\, understand\, and effectively apply executive functioning principles in the classroom\nCreate an effective classroom environment that models positive executive functioning traits\nGenerate meaningful activities that integrate content and study skills\nUnderstand and use various methodologies to build and support executive functioning skills\n\nTopics \n\nExecutive functioning overview\nExecutive functioning in the classroom\nCurrent research\nApplication \nScope and sequence of executive functioning skills \nIndividualized unit design\nExplore additional resources\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Teacher Bio\nLisa Benjamin is an occupational therapist at Chartwell School.
