2025 KEEN Conference

Have you ever had a day when you felt like you just needed a quick win?  Well, this session will be catered to just that! Session attendees will leave with several different “quick win” strategies to engage their learners as well as make their students’ learning visible in unconventional ways.  Several strategies have been adapted from different popular resources including The Writing Revolution, Building Thinking Classrooms, LETRS, and more.  Students will experience several of these strategies and be given a resource presentation for other strategies discussed.  These strategies engage students across all disciplines and grade levels.

Discover how music can be a powerful tool in the classroom to enhance memory, regulate emotions, and boost cognitive performance. In this session, we will explore the science behind how rhythm and melody help encode information more deeply into the brain, leading to better recall and improved focus.
Participants will enjoy a fun, multi-sensory learning experience that blends music, movement, and instruments. No musical expertise is needed—just come ready to move, explore, and have fun!
