This is a two-in-one session featuring the following two presentations. Impact of Book Challenges on Librarian and Student Well-Being: This presentation discusses results of a qualitative study exploring the well-being of school librarians and students in the aftermath of book challenges, focusing on their emotional and professional responses. Through in-depth interviews with school librarians and the use of technology such as NotebookLM to evaluate emerging themes, the research examines changing perceptions of librarians and the importance of forming collaborative relationships within the school community to work towards advocacy and support during book challenges. School Librarians' Experiences with SEL & Community Building: While research underscores the importance of SEL for student development and well-being, there is limited understanding of how school librarians experience SEL practices in their roles, especially regarding community building among students. This presentation will focus on our study’s findings, which highlight strategies school librarians can utilize to foster a culture of connection and belonging.

But that doesn’t mean we should eliminate it. The right kind of struggle builds thinking, persistence, and deeper learning. In this interactive session, you’ll take on a challenge yourself, experience the difference between a scaffold and a shortcut, and explore how AI and digital tools can help students push through without doing the thinking for them. Drawing from research on desirable difficulties and scaffolding, we'll rethink when learners need support and when they simply need more room to think. Come ready to struggle a little, rethink a few things, and discover how to help every learner reach the win.

The instinct is often to crack down, but restriction alone doesn''t solve the underlying problem. The real opportunity is to rethink what we are assessing and why.

Using AI Image Generation as a Thinking Mirror When students prompt an AI image generator, they have to put their thinking into words. What comes out reveals exactly what they did and didn't communicate clearly. AI becomes a mirror that shows how thinking lands before you ever have to say a word. This works across any content area: scientists describe physical properties, writers test sensory details, mathmeticians find out if their steps make sense. In this session, you experience it all.

How do we honor foundational practices while embracing technology with intention? This session explores the "modern arrangement," examining how robust, east-to-use tech tools breathe new life into traditional methods like Socratic seminars. We'll marry the sophistication of traditional instruction with digital flair to foster UDL, accessibility, and a timeless learning experience where every student belongs. Scandalous? I think not!
