The Round Rock ISD 2014 Summer Professional Development Conference will be two full weeks of learning opportunities for educators from around central Texas. The classes listed below are only the beginning. Check back often to see what has been added. Round Rock ISD attendees, make sure you sign up in eCampus as well. The number is included in each course description.
Exploring new TEKS for HS courses, what is pushed up or down into other courses, as well as talking through the new process standards added to each HS course
come learn how to integrate the TI calculator with the new math standards (realizing that the STAAR in 8th grade now requires use of a graphing calculator). Featuring Valerie Roebuck, a T-cubed national instructor.
Teacher will have an opportunity to emerge themselves in the changing math standards for the upcoming school year. In this session teachers will analyze standards that are brand new, standards that have moved grade levels, and standards that have remained in the same grade level but have somehow changed. Teachers will leave this session with a better understanding of the new standards they are now responsible for teaching.

Teachers will become familiar with learning experiences for their students that can be implemented in their classrooms. This session will show teachers how to integrate the Personal Financial Literacy standards with other content standards throughout the year. This session will focus on 6th grade standards.
This PD is an in-depth study of the new Algebra 1 TEKS for the High School Algebra 1 Courses. Teachers will have a better understanding of new skills to be taught, when skills are taught, and how they will be assessed through the lens of processing TEKS. This professional development is foundational to changes in the ARRC for 2015-2016 year.
This session, facilitated by a district Secondary Math Instructional Coach, will focus on sharing ideas about gifted students and will provide work time on curriculum and resource development for high school TAG math courses.
Teachers will become familiar with learning experiences for their students that can be implemented in their classrooms. This session will show teachers how to integrate the Personal Financial Literacy standards with other content standards throughout the year. This session will focus on 7th grade standards.
This PD is an in-depth study of the new Algebra II TEKS for the High School Algebra II Courses. Teachers will have a better understanding of new skills to be taught, when skills are taught, and how they will be assessed through the lens of processing TEKS. This professional development is foundational to changes in the ARRC for 2015-2016 year.
This PD is an in-depth study of the new Geometry TEKS for the High School Geometry Courses. Teachers will have a better understanding of new skills to be taught, when skills are taught, and how they will be assessed through the lens of processing TEKS. This professional development is foundational to changes in the ARRC for 2015-2016 year.
Are you looking for project-based learning starter ideas that emphasize the mathematical process standards? Let’s look at possible projects together and how they might apply to our math classrooms. I'll bring several projects for us to discuss; you are invited to bring ideas as well! Let's brainstorm together how to strengthen project-based learning in math!
Teachers will become familiar with learning experiences for their students that can be implemented in their classrooms. This session will show teachers how to integrate the Personal Financial Literacy standards with other content standards throughout the year. This session will focus on 8th grade standards.
Are you looking for ways to emphasize the mathematical process standards? Are your daily warm-ups growing stale? Let’s look at five (maybe more!!) awesome websites that are ready-made for intriguing warm-up assignments. The activities will challenge your students to think about, communicate, and represent mathematics. Join me in problem solving and communicating math (small prizes awarded)! You’ll leave this session with at least five new ideas for warm-ups that connect to your TEKS and that will spark worthwhile math conversations in your classroom! Participants ... please BYOD to access the Internet with me!
Teachers will become familiar with the Instructional Resources that were adopted by the district. This session will focus on integrating ancillary resources with the scope and sequence of the ARRC.
