Davis District R&R Conference 2025

Secondary teachers: From remedial English to Honors, literacy skills like phonics, phonological awareness, and morphology can help our students improve their reading abilities, no matter what level they’re on. Come learn how to help your students become stronger and more confident readers through engaging and exciting literacy activities that can take anywhere from ten minutes to a full class period. Learn about Word Surgery, Root Word Love Letters, Nonsense Root Word Capture the Flag, Phoneme Bingo, and many other premade activities that students love.

Elementary teachers: Are you ready to see a dramatic shift in your students’ writing? Join teacher and author, Lindsay Kemeny, for a practical session focused on evidence-based writing strategies that deliver results. Learn how to implement Self-Regulated Strategy Development (SRSD) to empower students with the skills to plan, organize, write (think POW!), and self-regulate their writing process. Through real-world examples from a first-grade classroom, you'll see daily and weekly lesson structures in action. This session will focus on applying these strategies to informational writing in the lower grades. Walk away with concrete, actionable steps to help your students use POW to create WOW-worthy writing!

Looking for an easy way to make math more meaningful in your class? Try using a rich mathematical warm-up. I will share my favorite math starters and share my slide deck so you can implement them in your classroom tomorrow. (While the specific examples and resources will be math specific, many of the principles behind the warmups can be used in other subjects).
