SUMMARY:Math Institute 2025 (Virtual Conference)
DESCRIPTION:REGISTRATION DEADLINE: FRI. 11/7/25 \nKeynote Talk: Math is Figuroutable!\nKeynote Speaker: Pamela Weber Harris\nPamela Weber Harris is changing the way we view and teach mathematics. She is the author of several books\, including Numeracy Problems Strings K-5\, Developing Mathematical Reasoning\, and Building Powerful Numeracy. As a mom\, a former high school math teacher\, university lecturer\, and an author\, she believes everyone can do more math when it is based in reasoning than math as memorizing and mimicking. Pam has created online Building Powerful Mathematics workshops and presents frequently at national and international conferences. Her particular interests include teaching real math\, building powerful numeracy\, sequencing rich tasks to construct mathematics\, using technology appropriately\, smart assessment\, and vertical connectivity in curricula in schools PK-12. Pam helps leaders and teachers to make the shift that supports students to learn real math because math is figureoutable! \nIf you require ASL Interpretation\, contact Gail Rutan at grutan01@hamline.edu \nSchedule: \n8:45am- 10:15 – Welcome and Keynote – Keynote address (Pam Harris) \n10:15-10:30 – Break \n10:30-12pm – Workshop (Problem Strings with Pam Harris) \n12:00-12:45 – Lunch \n12:45-2:15 – Concurrent Workshops \n2:15-2:30 – Break \n2:30-3:15 – Resource Share \n

SUMMARY:Healing-Centered Organizations: Stress and Trauma’s Impact on Adult Education Programs and Teams
DESCRIPTION:Registration Deadline: THU. 11/6/25 \nHow does trauma show up in our organizations?

Learn how communication dynamics may reflect deeper stress\, and discover practical ways to interrupt harmful cycles through a healing-centered approach. Lucille will also introduce a Sequence of Engagement framework to guide healthier interactions and support programs in becoming places of healing. \nIf you require ASL interpretation contact Gail Rutan at grutan01@hamline.edu
