2022 ACSA Every Child Counts Symposium

We will begin with a Go Noodle exercise to get everyone up and out of their seat and blood flowing to their brain. These exercises are FREE, easy to access, and both kids and adults love them (after an initial moan at having to stand up.) We will share interactive and engaging websites, videos, student challenges, and opportunities to participate in actual research projects. After modeling how to do a deep dive into one of the websites, participants will choose from a wide variety of websites to do a deep dive of their own. Participants will be grouped according to the website(s) they selected and the group will develop a 6-word story or record a Flip Grid to present to the group about what they learned. STEM projects include collecting data on feline and canine behavior and submitting the date to the University of Pennsylvania's study of cats and dogs, or creating an account with SciStarter and learn how to locate trees that are threatened and report them to the local community agency so the trees can be treated and saved. There are thousands of research projects students can join. SEL activities include watching videos showing how we see ourselves compared to how much more positively others see us, and learning how to give affirmations to the people important to us, as well as to ourselves.
