Breakout Session 1 – Saturday 9:30am-10:30am Room A1 Craig Haws, Rocky Mountain Middle School Getting Lost in Learning We will emphasize the benefits and importance of engaged activities that help students get lost in the learning process. Getting students totally involved in the learning process is a great break through in education. The more passionate the students are about the subject and content, the more likely they are to excel and retain the information shared with them. Tags: Engagement, Motivation
Room A2 Li Yanchuan, Northwest Nazarene University Breaking Through to Get A Chinese Language Program In Your School Learn what your school/district needs to do to get a volunteer Chinese instructor. Presented by the Confucius Institute of Northwest Nazarene University. Knowing how to get a Chinese program started is needed if you are going to break through the barriers. Tags: Language, Chinese
Room A3 Brenda Miller, Northwest Professional Educators Show Me the Money! Money is tight but teacher ideas are flowing! Teachers often turn to services like Donor’s Choose or AdoptAClassroom with mixed results, unaware that other options exist. This session will walk teachers through the process of applying for an NWPE Classroom Grant, and teach them how to modify their basic grant proposal to fit other applications. It will provide best practices in applying for classroom grants along with information on other grant sources. Tags: Grant Writing, Project Based Learning

Room B1 Randy Jensen, William Thomas Middle School Where Is the Silver Bullet? The key to long-‐term success is creating a foundation on which all other programs are developed. This presentation will discuss how the cornerstones of a strong advisory program, teaming and engaging parents/community have led to a successful “Break Through.” Silver bullets come and go but real success is built on a solid foundation. All "Break Throughs" have to be built on a solid foundation. Tags: Advisory, Teaming, Engagement
Room B2 Emily Hardy and Meghan Wonderlich, Syringa Middle School Creating a Culture of Kindness In this session Meghan Wonderlich, Assistant Principal and Erica Hardy, Counselor from Syringa Middle School will describe the steps they took to implement a culture of kindness in their school. Some of the ideas and activities will include: Kindness Coins, Interactive Bulletin Boards, and Culture Heroes. This presentation will be informational and interactive. Tags: Engagement, Motivation, Relationships
Room B3 Penny Bassett, Lynne Etcheverry, and Kris Peterson, Bear Lake Middle School Interactive Notebooks We are using interactive notebooks to improve content knowledge, note taking, retention, organization and test scores. Middle school students experience Break Throughs in learning and retention when they use interactive notebooks for study and note taking. We will show examples of how we are using interactive notebooks in science and math. Tags: Engagement, Instructional Strategies
Room B4 Stephanie Shebley, Sage International Japanese American Internment Education: Engaging Students in Social Justice Issues This presentation will provide an overview of my work in developing and teaching an eight-‐week unit on the Japanese American Internment experience. Educating students about this history provides a means within the classroom to discuss the intricacies of prejudice and stereotypes, and it creates opportunities for students to make connections to other social justice issues, as well. Through successfully engaging students' interest in the importance and relevancy of this topic, the goal is that they will think critically about our nation's history and be motivated to contribute to a more peaceful future for our world. As educators, we must constantly be evolving in how we teach students so we can "break through" barriers that may be inhibiting student engagement in our lessons and help educate our students to develop into citizens who will be inspired to make our world a better place.

Breakout Session 2 – Saturday 1:45pm-2:45pm Room A1 Christie Jorgensen, Nampa Christian Schools Seven Strategies to Increase Engagement and Cultivate Curiosity Seven Strategies is designed to equip participants with practical strategies to increase student engagement and cultivate curiosity in the classroom. This workshop will employ high-‐impact strategies from educational researcher Jim Knight, as well as cognitive psychologist Wendy Ostroff. The students’ educators must reach in 2017 vastly differ from those in the past. We are now teaching digital natives whose brains are rewired to process information differently. In order to "break through" this change, educators must be equipped with the high-‐impact strategies to increase student learning. Tags: Engagement, Relationships
Room A2 Nathan Anderson and TJ Adams, Robert Stuart Middle School Gamification in the Classroom: Increasing Motivation and Engagement Through Game Principles Gamification is the process of applying game mechanics and principles into other settings, such as the classroom. This recent and fairly controversial teaching strategy has many manifestations and possibilities. There are also a myriad of practical benefits and genuine concerns. In this session we will review the research behind gamification, look at practical applications of the strategy, and help the audience plan a way to gamifying a lesson, a unit, or a whole classroom. Students today have so many games and other forms of technology constantly at their fingertips. With so much stimulation and entertainment to compete with, it has become difficult for school to hold the attention of modern students and challenge them. Using this game training to our advantage, we teachers can use game theory and principles to our advantage and "break through" to students that now seem out of our reach. A gamified unit was presented to a middle school classroom and indicated positive results in improving the motivation and engagement of students, especially students who self-‐identify as being low in those two areas.

Room B1 Randy Jensen, William Thomas Middle School 50 Ways to Show You Love'm We have all heard the old saying that kids don’t care what you know until they know you care. With the “high stakes” environment in education today the caring part is sometimes left behind. This session will discuss ways for teachers and administrators to show students that they truly care about them. Building relationships is the key to a successful "Break Through." Tags: Advisory, Relationships
Room B2 Kali Kurdy, Teach Idaho “…for he was born in another time.” An inquiry based approach to transforming your classroom. Teachers are constantly searching for ways to empower and engage students. Yet, many of the programs and techniques that can lead to increased student participation require additional time in planning and/or extended class time to facilitate. This workshop will focus on simple things you can do to bring about a change in culture in your classroom. Dream about the perfect classroom, bring that image to this workshop, and together we can mold our classroom of the future. Tags: Engagement, Motivation, Instructional Strategies
Room B3 Stephen Parker, National Weather Service The National Weather Service in Education The National Weather Service office in Boise is committed to supporting science education throughout southwest Idaho and southeast Oregon. Our office is blessed to include experts in the science of meteorology, and many individuals with other varied interests and knowledge in earth, physical, and other sciences. Each year our office takes part in the BSU STEM day in February. This event is an excellent way for students (and teachers) to interact with our meteorologists while we all explore the wonderful world of weather. STEM Day is our primary method of interacting with students, and because of shift work and the large area our office forecasts for, we typically do not travel to schools to make presentations. We host office tours each year and in special cases we travel to meet with students. Thank you for your interest in educating your students about the science of meteorology!

Room C1 Amy McBride and Ace Marcellus Middle School Essentials: A 6th grade transition class The transition from elementary school to middle school is hard! Learning to deal with multiple teachers and different class loads, as well with dealing with the social, emotional, and physical changes of adolescence can be overwhelming. And yet, finding success early in middle school is critical for a student’s immediate and future academic success. It is our belief that teaching students the “soft skills” needed to be successful in secondary schools, while providing a system of support and guidance can be the difference between a student’s success or failure, both in middle school and later in life. We created our Bear Essentials class to do just that! Bear Essentials is a class where students gain the skills necessary to be a successful student at RSMS. Organization, study skills, mindset, problem-‐solving and time management are the major themes in this class, while the Bear Essentials teachers help their student navigate through their daily classes and find success for themselves. Breaking through the patterns of the past to create new opportunities for success for our students. Tags: Advisory, Transition, Relationship
