MYFest Schedule: All Years

Join us for an hour of supporting each other’s writing… quietly… where we will kick off with 5 minutes of inspiration, give everyone about 50 minutes to work on what is important to them right now, and have 5 minutes to celebrate what we’ve accomplished today. This group is dedicated to anyone who is working on a writing project of any kind: you can work on a peer-reviewed paper, grant application, syllabus, even a really tricky email, even your creative work, a poem you want to capture, lyrics for your next song 🙂

Do you feel truly seen and valued in your work, and are you helping others feel that way too? Join us for a six-session book circle exploring "Mattering: The Secret to a Life of Deep Connection and Purpose" by Jennifer Breheny Wallace hosted by Theresa Destrebecq.

Curricular seeds are sessions where we invite participants to share what they do in their own teaching/workshops on a particular theme, and then we take time in small groups to reflect on how we all might apply, adapt or develop activities or resources based on what we discuss in the first half, and how we might support each other going forward via Equity Unbound.

The way students read has changed, and classrooms are feeling it. This session introduces the Biliterate brain as a framework for understanding how print and digital reading shape cognitive pathways differently and what that means for teaching and learning. Participants will leave with practical strategies to improve reading comprehension across both modes and the tools to embed them into their own classrooms.

This session shares our journey of writing a book chapter (under review) entitled: A Praxis of Emergence and Intentional Adaptation at Equity Unbound. We will share our full autoethnographic narratives ahead of time, and during the session share excerpts from them and share with participants key insights we gained from our writing. We will then invite participants to share with us how they think IEH may transfer to other contexts, and the challenges they have faced or expect to face when trying to apply it in different communities.

These sessions will be thematic and bring together 2-3 emerging scholars (i.e. somewhere between proposal stage of a PhD and recently completed it) to share their research in 10 minutes, followed by a discussion that is focused on questions the scholars themselves pose for the audience (e.g. requesting feedback, etc.)

AI is reshaping education, threatening critical thinking through cognitive offloading. Teachers must redesign tasks to embed iterative thinking, from planning and prompting to evaluating and defending, ensuring students engage deeply with AI rather than surrender their thinking to it. The goal is not to restrict AI but to reposition it as a tool that supports but never replaces student thinking.

In this session, we will offer some principles of designing hybrid events in ways that are intentionally equitable and also engaging for both online and in-person participants. The session builds on the IEH praxis of Virtually connecting (which was hybrid). Participants will have opportunities to reflect on the best and worst hybrid experiences they have had, and reimagine a particular upcoming event as intentionally equitable hybrid.
