SLV Winter Educators Conference

Educators will explore practical strategies to help students make meaningful connections between what they are learning and their prior knowledge, real-world experiences, and cross-curricular themes. Participants will discover how fostering these connections enhances student engagement, deepens understanding, and strengthens literacy skills across content areas. By the end of the session, participants will leave with actionable tools to enhance classroom practices, improve literacy outcomes, and inspire students to see the relevance of their learning in new and meaningful ways. The strategies and resources are most aligned to secondary teachers, but are easily adaptable for elementary teachers as well.
