Anxiety disorders\, anxious symptoms\, and developmentally appropriate “worries” present themselves in students with ASD in as many ways as they do in more typically developing children\, and they often lead to behavioral challenges for students with ASD. There are highly effective\, well-known behavioral and cognitive strategies and interventions for helping manage anxiety but these methods are largely geared toward more “typical” youth. The ways of training professionals to assist youth with anxiety symptoms and conditions focus almost exclusively on language-driven\, cognitive methods\, which aren’t always effective with children on the autism spectrum. In this webinar\, Jeffrey A. Lox\, MSSA\, LISW-S\, ACSW\, and Chief Operating Officer of Bellefaire JCB demonstrates how to: \n\n Identify common anxiety-based conditions\, symptoms\, and behaviors exhibited by students with ASD\nReview Cognitive Behavioral and Family Systems Interventions for anxiety-based issues\nDiscuss challenges and potential methods for successful use of anxiety reducing and managing skills and strategies for youth with ASD\n\nThis recorded webinar will benefit educators of children of all ages\, behavior specialists\, and SLP\, OT\, PT\, music\, art\, and recreation therapists. \n\nAbout the Presenter \nJeffrey A.

If you view the recording and would like a CE certificate\, join the Blended Learning community and go to the Webinar Archives folder to take the CE quiz. \nExtensive use of discourse in the classroom is a key practice to support the learning of English while learning mathematics. English learners are in varying stages of English language development\, and discourse will increase their productive (oral and written) and receptive (listening and reading) language functions in addition to their comprehension of mathematics concepts. The Standards for Mathematical Practice expect students to reason\, construct viable arguments\, and critique the reasoning of others among other practices. Thus\, classroom teachers need to provide support for students’ English language development to engage in these practices. \nIn this webinar\, Mathematics Education Consultant Dr. Susie W. Håkansson shares the rationale for using discourse in the classroom\, the role of productive and receptive language functions in the learning of mathematics\, as well as examples of how to increase discourse in the classroom. \nDr. Håkansson’s presentation covers: \n\nChallenges in learning English\nUsing discourse (including the role of productive and receptive language functions)\nLanguage in the mathematics classroom\nCognitively-demanding mathematics tasks\nExamples of discourse in the classroom\nEquity and excellence\n\nLearn how to support your English learners while they are learning mathematics. This recored webinar is designed for mathematics educators\, administrators\, coaches\, classroom teachers\, as well as mathematics teacher educators. \n\nAbout the Presenter \nDr. Susie W. Håkansson is Immediate Past-President of TODOS: Mathematics for ALL. She taught high school mathematics\, served as a faculty advisor for pre-service students\, was a lecturer in the UCLA Department of Mathematics\, and has over 30 years of experience providing professional development to PreK-16 mathematics teachers. She was the executive director of the California Mathematics Project (CMP) and a site director prior to that\, collaborating with others to design and implement institutes\, workshop series\, and school site programs for teachers\, administrators\, parents\, and students\, particularly programs that focus on providing access to high quality and rigorous mathematics for ALL students\, particularly English learners. Dr. Håkansson has been a monitor and evaluator on Improving Teacher Quality and NSF Grants. She is a recipient of the TODOS 2013 Iris M.

SUMMARY:Engage Students and Enhance Your World Language Classroom
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Gisele Vazquez Falls\, Teacher and Department Chair of World Languages\, Virginia Public Schools\nSponsored by Rosetta Stone \nWATCH THE WEBINAR RECORDING\nIf you attended the live session\, you’ll be emailed a CE certificate within 24 hours of the webinar. If you view the recording and would like a CE certificate\, join the Using Technology for Language Instruction community and go to the Webinar Archives folder to take the CE quiz. \nAs a group\, students come to us with varied interests and abilities\, a myriad of language and cultural backgrounds\, and a mixture of learning styles. As individual learners\, their language success increasingly depends on access to personalized language learning\, and authentic and engaging lessons that will prepare them for their own 21st century global futures. Class time devoted largely to teacher-led instruction limits a student’s ability to practice speaking in their new language. To eventually own a language a student must use it. Combining traditional instruction and EdTech provides a comprehensive approach that develops speaking and listening skills needed by students to build and strengthen their language confidence. Access to technology in a blended learning classroom increases student practice time\, offers immediate and effective speech feedback\, and gives teachers added opportunities to provide individualized attention to students. \nGisele Vazquez Falls\, Spanish Teacher and Dept. Chair of World Languages in the Global Studies and World Languages Academy at Tallwood High School\, Virginia Beach\, VA\, presents on how to better engage your students and enhance your world language classroom. Gisele will share: \n• Strategies for incorporating online resources into your daily lesson plans\n• Steps to successfully mix traditional and online instruction in your language program to differentiate instruction\n• Tips to maximize teacher reach\n• Ways to increase student engagement and language production time to build proficiency both during and outside of class \nAll K-12 language educators are invited to watch this recording webinar. \nAbout the Presenter \nGisele Vazquez Falls is a Spanish Teacher and Dept. Chair of World Languages in the Global Studies and World Languages Academy at Tallwood High School\, Virginia Beach\, VA.

Dr. Cash will share real stories of students who achieved success through SRL skills; he’ll also provide a framework for both classroom practices and school-wide implementation. Discover how schools have used this whole-child approach to assisting students in gaining greater social/emotional well-being\, developing scholarly behaviors\, and acquiring valuable thinking tools to be successful in school and beyond. \nThis recorded webinar will benefit K-12 teachers\, counselors\, administrators\, social workers\, and special and gifted education professionals. \nAbout the Presenter \nDr. Richard M.

In November 2016\, the Stanford History Education Group (SHEG) published Evaluating Information: The Cornerstone of Civic Online Reasoning\, a study that revealed concerning results.

SUMMARY:Educating the Whole Child in a World of Silos – STEM\, STEAM and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Ian Fogarty\, Chemistry and Physics Teacher\, Riverview High School\, NB; Co-Director\, SHAD at the University of New Brunswick\, Canada\nSponsored by Nureva \nWATCH THE WEBINAR RECORDING\nIf you attended the live session\, you’ll be emailed a CE certificate within 24 hours of the webinar. If you view the recording and would like a CE certificate\, join the Fostering Student Collaboration community and go to the Webinar Archives folder to take the CE quiz. \nIn this webinar\, learn how Riverview High School (RHS) became a top finalist for the 2017 FETC STEM Excellence Awards in the High School Division. RHS has found a way to enact the research and provide a student-centered personalized learning environment that balances consistency with freedom\, and specialization with renaissance education. The structures and practices built into the school day combined with an essentials-extensions model of assessment to allow students to master critical content and explore individual passions that go beyond STEM\, STEAM or STEAM-H. RHS students say that they are transformed when they do real work for real people\, often working harder on projects that don’t even count\, because they matter. \nIan Fogarty\, Chemistry and Physics Teacher at Riverview High School\, highlights some of those projects and examines how teachers can organize their classes and how administrators can organize their schools from assessment to content delivery\, to PBL\, to passion projects in an attempt to educate the whole student living in a system of silos. This recorded webinar will be helpful for middle and high school teachers\, as well administrators\, who are trying to provide opportunities that will uncover abilities and passions in their students. \nAbout the Presenter\nIan Fogarty believes that school should be a place where students can explore their passions and discover new ones at the same time as solving real problems for real people. This belief stems from his work as a classroom chemistry and physics teacher as well as being the co-director of the SHAD UNB summer program. He believes that technology can be a powerful tool for learning when done correctly. Ian is a Microsoft Innovative Educator Fellow\, a SMART Exemplary Educator\, and a Nureva Lighthouse Teacher. His work has won national and international awards including 3rd place at the Global Innovative Educator Forum in Cape Town (2008)\, the Canadian Prime Minister’s Award for Teaching Excellence (2010)\, the Canadian Association of Physicists High School Teacher Award (2011)\, the American National Science Teacher Association STEM Educator (2015) and the New Brunswick Association of Engineers and Geoscientists STEM Educator award (2015).
