Participate and share: Poster 
Purpose: Our purpose is to share with educators and leaders an innovative model for student goal-setting and successful learning using technology and an equity-lens focus. We believe that educators and leaders can transform their classroom models, no matter what school environment they are in, in order to overcome the limitations of traditional schooling, by using a student-first, technology-based framework.
Objectives:
Participants will learn of ways to replicate modern approaches to learning using technology, in their classrooms and schools.
* Examples include:
. . . Embedding technology in order to collect, analyze, and act upon student goal-setting and street data;
. . . Integrating and using Microsoft tools and applications, such as Teams and Power Automate, to shorten student and family feedback loops, increase executive functioning, take equity-focused action on student data;
. . . Using nontraditional ways and models for learning such as student-self-paced learning models, with differentiated content designed and implemented by educators with technology tools.
Participants will be able to describe how to use an equity-lens focus to design and deliver content with technology to support all students' success.
Participants will describe how to empower student learners' goal-setting, reflection, and achievement using non-traditional and technology-based approaches.
Participants will be able to set action steps to transform their own classrooms and schools using new understandings of "PACE" concepts and equity + technology.
Our current primary proposal is a poster session.
Content and activities:
With this in mind, the content that will be presented will be a poster that includes the following:
-Our school's framework and model for personalized, tech-based learning (through a leader, educator, and student lens: how this can work for them, too)
-How to integrate technology tools, use automated data and feedback loops, and design/implement content with an equity lens focus
-Using staff capacity and PLCs to monitor and accelerate student learning via technology and content design
Time: We will share a brief summary of our work (brief each main point) with the visiting person(s), and have open, ongoing Q & A as we have visitors at our poster.
Process: We plan to invite people that are walking through the poster areas to come to our poster and connect, going over highlights and sharing ways to further connect to resources. We will encourage questions, wonderings, and ideas shared.
If we should be invited to present in another format, we will adjust our presentation outline.
