In the 2025-2026 school year, Albany County School District 1 launched an Elementary Extensions Team. The team offered enriching extensions, including project-based and place-based learning opportunities, to all elementary students in the district. This session will help classroom teachers and other instructional leaders learn about the potential of extension activities and vision extensions for their own students.
What if classroom management wasn’t about controlling behavior, but about creating a culture students want to be part of? In Raise the Bar: Building a Classroom Culture that Drives Success, educators will explore high-energy strategies that transform expectations, engagement, and accountability in the classroom. This session focuses on building a culture where students rise to challenges, support one another, and take pride in their learning. Attendees will leave with practical, immediately usable strategies to boost engagement, strengthen relationships, and create a classroom where excellence becomes the norm, not the exception.

Participants in this session will build knowledge about the progression of skills within number sense and fluency. This session is appropriate for teachers, interventionists, coaches, and administrators. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in games and activities and explore ways to incorporate the strategies into their classrooms.
