Modernizing Instruction in CTE: Student Self-Pacing as a Gateway to Mastery-Based Learning
Saturday February 1, 2025 8:00am - 8:45am MST
DHHS A111
The traditional approach to instruction relies on all students in each classroom being at the same place in their learning journey each day. We know this ideal can be practically impossible to achieve. By leveraging innovative planning and facilitation practices that put students at the center of their learning, educators can create opportunities for truly personalized instruction. In this session, we will explore the support that educators need in order to implement self-paced, mastery-based learning with their students and review examples from CTE Educators in the Davis School District.

Student Driven Projects: Pitch, Vote, Produce
Saturday February 1, 2025 8:00am - 8:45am MST
DHHS D214
Students are most invested in curriculum and projects when they have a voice and choice in their project topic and parameters. As part of my programming course and game development course curriculum, my students pitch project ideas, vote on them and then produce the winning projects in teams. Additionally, my programming students provide real-world problems to be used as part of final term projects. By advocating for student choice in projects across 7 semesters and with hundreds of different students, I have refined and created a very streamlined pitching, voting and project decision process. I will be highlighting this process, giving advice on potential challenges, and opening up a discussion as to how this could be applied/brought into my audience's classroom.

Students are most invested in curriculum and projects when they have a voice and choice in their project topic and parameters.

Additionally, my programming students provide real-world problems to be used as part of final term projects. By advocating for student choice in projects across 7 semesters and with hundreds of different students, I have refined and created a very streamlined pitching, voting and project decision process. I will be highlighting this process, giving advice on potential challenges, and opening up a discussion as to how this could be applied/brought into my audience's classroom.

This is an Critical Thinking Encryption lesson geared for Middle School Students. It could easily be fitted to a high school class too. The best part is it is scalable!!! You can teach it to 5 kids or 50 kids and have it vary in difficulty. Typically I have the class surrender all cell phones - this freaks my Jr. High Students right out. Then as every student is watching, I talk about encryption, what it means, why it is important, how it relates to cybersecurity, I place all the cell phones into my large lockable box and close no less than 6 locks around the box. In order to get back into the box, the students must work together to decrypt distributed riddles. Once the riddles are decrypted them must solve the riddles. The answers to the riddles are the codes or words that unlock each lock.(almost always they are coordinating cybersecurity vocabulary words) After each group unlocks their locks, they can retrieve their cell phone.

Online Learning in the Dual Enrollment Environment
Saturday February 1, 2025 2:00pm - 2:45pm MST
DHHS B125
While setting up dual credit courses for high school students, I encountered resistance from university departments and faculty in allowing high school students access to entry-level college classes, especially in the online format (even when it already existed). Thus, I conducted research to evaluate high school student’s performance (based on final grades) in online, face-to-face, and hybrid college classes compared to post-secondary (undergrad) students in the same courses and using the same delivery methods. Come to this session to see the surprising results and how the data influenced educators' opinions about high school students' abilities.

This is an Critical Thinking Encryption lesson geared for Middle School Students. It could easily be fitted to a high school class too. The best part is it is scalable!!! You can teach it to 5 kids or 50 kids and have it vary in difficulty. Typically I have the class surrender all cell phones - this freaks my Jr. High Students right out. Then as every student is watching, I talk about encryption, what it means, why it is important, how it relates to cybersecurity, I place all the cell phones into my large lockable box and close no less than 6 locks around the box. In order to get back into the box, the students must work together to decrypt distributed riddles. Once the riddles are decrypted them must solve the riddles. The answers to the riddles are the codes or words that unlock each lock.(almost always they are coordinating cybersecurity vocabulary words) After each group unlocks their locks, they can retrieve their cell phone.
