EPS Summer Extravaganza 2026

Accessing information is a human right and digital accessibility can improve the user experience for everyone. In addition, recent federal regulations require digital content provided by public entities comply with specific accessibility requirements. Attendees will gain an introductory understanding of digital accessibility concepts, requirements, regulations, and the impact on individuals with and without disabilities. Participants will learn practical strategies for creating and updating digital materials that are more accessible and inclusive for all users.

This will be a hands-on session, so please make sure to bring a charged device so you can practice using AI prompts during the workshop.

We’ll explore practical ways to save time, differentiate instruction, and spark new ideas. No prior experience with AI needed!

This session is for AI beginners about writing prompts and working through some great beginner prompts for Google Gemini.

This session will explain how EPS is funded. How the budget is prepared and how bond money is used.

This session is designed teachers who have experience using basic chatgpt or gemini style chatbots but are interested in learning more about other AI tools like Google's NotebookLM, Diffit, Brisk, and MagicSchoolAI.

When students struggle to meet grade-level expectations, our instinct is often to "lighten the load"—assigning half the problems, skipping the hard questions, or lowering the reading level. But "less" isn't "access." To bridge the gap, we don't need to change the destination; we need to build better on-ramps.

In this session, we move past the "evens only" mindset and dive into high-leverage Tier 1 scaffolds that preserve rigor while providing a pathway for every learner. Whether you are supporting a student two years behind or challenging a student two years ahead, this session provides the blueprints for "High-Floor, No-Ceiling" instruction.
