Message from ATA Conventions regarding inclement weather and safe travels...

“On the two school days of your assigned teachers’ convention, you have a legal and
professional responsibility to attend Convention. If you are not able to make it safely to your
assigned convention, however, your collective agreement may include impassable roads or
inclement weather clauses that you can access. If your collective agreement does not include
language specific to road conditions or weather, you may make use of the personal leave
clauses of your agreement in most cases. Please be aware that using any of these types of
leave may require you to pay substitute costs, forego a portion of your salary and benefits, or
report to your school or another work location in your district. Refer to your collective
agreement for more information. Should you require any additional information or if you
need assistance interpreting your collective agreement, please contact Teacher Employment
Services at 1-800-232-7208 or 780-447-9400.”

Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics
Friday February 21, 2025 9:00am - 10:00am MST
In this session, we will explore the work of Peter Liljedahl and the concept of building a "thinking classroom" in the area of mathematics. While there are many variables that impact thinking in a classroom, we will primarily focus this session on the different types of tasks in mathematics, how to form collaborative groups, the arrangements and working space of the classroom, and how to effectively use hints and extensions. Parts of the session will be collaborative, and give participants an opportunity to try out some of the strategies presented.

MathMap: a new, automated math screening tool to deliver data driven intervention
Friday February 21, 2025 9:00am - 10:00am MST
I would like to share my journey in developing MathMap. I developed the program because I saw the incredible difference in literacy screens and math screening tools available. I wanted a tool that was automated to reduce teacher workload, provided data that drove targeted intervention to help increase student success and also give the large scale data on a class, school and division level to aid decision making. It took me 18 months from inception to beta launch. As of this September, MathMap is being used in two Southern Alberta school divisions and has been used by over 5000 students. I think MathMap is a very useful tool which I would like to share with teachers and admin. It is based on Alberta curriculum, designed for Alberta classrooms and created by a team of local teachers.
