Chiwaukee Academy 2015 Keynote Speaker
Tammy Lind
Making Learning Meaningful for ALL Learners
One of the biggest challenges that we face as educators is engaging our
students in powerful and engaging learning activities. We also know that
our own learning must be relevant and timely. How do we reach ALL
learners? How do we sustain learning activities to reach beyond the
classroom? How can we create and sustain powerful connections to make
learning engaging for our students? Throughout this interactive keynote, we
will begin to sustain and build relationships to impact our students in our
own classrooms and beyond.
Tammy Lind is currently a Technology Integration Coach in Southeastern Wisconsin. She is a Google
Education Trainer and a Google Certified teacher. Tammy is also an Intel for Education Master teacher.
Prior to becoming a technology integration coach Tammy worked as an elementary classroom teacher, a
special education teacher and a math specialist in the Milwaukee Public and South Milwaukee School
Districts. It was during her time as a special education teacher and an Assistive Technology team leader that
Tammy became passionate about finding current web-based technologies that make the curriculum
accessible to all learners.
Tammy is a co-contributor of the Teacher Tech Talk Podcast which highlights current classroom
technologies and former contributor to the Mobile Reach podcast which highlights current issues in the area
of mobile learning in schools. She is one of the two person team that brought the first Edcamp to Wisconsin
and hosted the event in South Milwaukee.
In addition to teaching graduate level courses, Tammy has presented on technology-related topics at a variety
of conferences including The International Society of Technology in Education (ISTE), Computer Using
Educators (CUE)-California, Illinois Computing Educators (ICE), The Midwest Google Summit, Iowa
Technology & Education (ITEC), Assistive Technology Across the Lifespan, WI State School Board
Association Annual Conference, School Leaders Advancing Technology in Education (SLATE), WI Math
Council Annual Conference, and WI Educational Media and Technology (WEMTA). Follow Tammy’s

Courses
1. Beyond Behavior Management: Empowering
Teachers to Connect with All Students PreK-8
Julie Martzke
Independent School District
This course will pull information from what we
know about how anxiety, depression, attention
difficulties, hyperactivity, and social disorders
impact students and apply it to your daily
classroom practice. Resources are limited and the
best way to increase the success of students who
are struggling is to empower the teachers who
spend the most time with them. We will approach
your greatest classroom management issues from a
new perspective. The majority of challenging
behaviors come from a skill deficit or an unmet
need. This class will help you identify those needs
in a proactive way increasing your ability to
connect with the student and identify strategies that
are more likely to be successful.
Course participants will:
 learn how to identify student needs to promote
prevention of behaviors.
 consider the impact of cultural differences in
relation to classroom behaviors.
 be introduced to strategies related to common
issues seen in their classrooms. This will be
tailored toward the needs of participants and
may include, but not be limited to anxiety
disorders, depression, social disorders, attention
and activity disorders, fetal alcohol syndrome,
and the impact of stress and poverty on
students and families.
 learn practical research-based strategies
focusing on motivation, socialization, attention,
organization, and movement in K-8 classrooms.
 discuss efficient ways to assess student
progress and determine effectiveness of
interventions.
 have an opportunity to brainstorm specific
plans for specific students .
No technology experience necessary. Geared
toward K-8 regular and special education teachers.

11. Teaching Historical Literacy 3-12
Allena Berry
The Prairie School
Clichés abound around what it means to learn
history, why it is significant to our core
curriculum, and what it means to have an educated
populace in a democratic state. However, these
clichés are oftentimes nowhere to be found in the
teaching of history and what it means to think
historically. This course is meant to turn those
clichés into actionable lesson plans.
This course will show teachers how to create
lessons that are inquiry-based and give strategies
on how to teach close reading, argumentation, and
other skills that are integral to the discipline of
history. Most importantly, this course will
encourage teachers and their students to see history
as something that is alive and relevant in today's
global world.

The Chiwaukee Prairie
Today, only a few patches of prairie remain. The last remnant of a true prairie, untouched by the plow, is the
Chiwaukee Prairie. It is a wet or mesic (moderately moist) lake prairie and an ecological jewel. A cycle of constantly
changing wild flowers and grasses bloom from May through October. Bird watchers find it a haven for ground-nesting
and migratory birds. Chiwaukee Prairie has been described as a “primeval sanctuary.” It is here that prairie, marsh,
savanna, and fen coexist. It is one of Wisconsin’s finest wetland ecosystems.
Located in the village of Pleasant Prairie in southeast Kenosha County, the Chiwaukee Prairie is bordered on the south
by the Wisconsin/Illinois state line and on the east by Lake Michigan. Owned and managed by the Nature Conservancy
of Wisconsin and the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, it is frequently used for educational studies and field trips. It is
open to visitors for hiking and observation.
Chiwaukee Prairie is a place where students, professors, and everyday folks can visit, and in the words of Aldo Leopold:
“…on a still night sit quiet and listen, and think hard of everything you have seen and tried to understand. Then
you may hear it – a vast pulsing harmony – its score inscribed on a thousand hills, its notes the lives and deaths of
plants and animals, its rhythms spanning the seconds and years.”
