2026 Engage Learning Conference

The purpose of my presentation is to offer teachers quick, applicable, and engaging tools and techniques which provide a layer of depth to their lesson plans. Key takeaways will include exposure to simple methods and tools that can be integrated into lessons that teachers already utilize. The tools that I will present, when integrated, will impact teachers and students alike. Teachers will have ideas of how to integrate simple tools and techniques that can be utilized as integral formative assessments. Students will be engaged in multiple modalities and will have a more layered opportunity for learning. The presentation will be a "show and tell" of sorts.
