SUMMARY:Introducing Restorative Teacher-Student Mediation
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Ondine Gross\, M.S.\, Ed.M.\, Educational Consultant and Public Speaker\nSponsored by Brookes Publishing \nWatch the Recording\nIf you attended the live session\, you’ll be emailed a CE certificate within 24 hours of the edWebinar. If you view the recording and would like a CE certificate\, join the Teaching All Students: Practical Strategies for Inclusive Classrooms community and go to the edWebinar Archives folder to take the CE quiz. \nStudent: My teacher hates me!\nTeacher: My student’s behavior changed and I don’t know why! \nWhile rocky roads and challenges are an inevitable part of any school\, unresolved conflicts can lead to high frustration and low motivation. Relationships matter\, and the most important relationships in schools are between teachers and students. Children learn best when they feel their teachers care about them. In busy school settings\, however\, teachers and students often lack the time\, place\, or opportunity to build a trusting relationship. When students misbehave\, traditional disciplinary actions remove them from the class and the root cause for the misbehavior is often not addressed. \nIn this edWebinar\, school psychologist Ondine Gross discusses how to facilitate restorative teacher-student mediation—an easy\, evidence-based intervention that reduces disciplinary actions and promotes wellness in a school community. She shares how restorative mediation brings the teacher and student together in a positive meeting to model social\, problem solving\, and communication skills. Ondine also will explore how mediation fosters mutual understanding and empathy. During this live\, interactive session\, Ondine introduces this model and explain how mediation can also be used to resolve student conflict. \nThis recorded session is designed for all K12 educators\, administrators\, and counselors. Discover how mediation restores respect\, so teachers can teach and students can learn. \nAbout the Presenter\nOndine Gross\, M.S.\, Ed.M.\, is a nationally certified school psychologist\, licensed therapist\, and author of Restore the Respect: How to Mediate School Conflicts and Keep Students Learning. For over 30 years\, she was a school psychologist in diverse California and Illinois public schools. The California Association of School Psychologists named her an “Outstanding School Psychologist.” Mid-career\, Ondine earned a master’s degree in educational policy\, organization\, and leadership from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign as well as school administrator certification. She also became a volunteer community mediator and in 2011\, piloted restorative school mediation at her diverse public high school. The results were positive and immediate\, and inspired Ondine to write her book and train others. Now an educational consultant and public speaker\, Ondine’s audiences appreciate her frankness\, credibility\, and “in-the-trenches” humor when showing how mediation fosters safe\, positive\, affirming school environments for our teachers and students. \nJoin the Teaching All Students: Practical Strategies for Inclusive Classrooms community to participate in online discussions with peers\, for invitations to upcoming edWebinars\, to view past edWebinar recordings\, to take a quiz and receive a CE certificate for a past edWebinar\, and for access to more resources. \nWatch the Recording\n  \nFounded in 1978\, Brookes is an independent\, highly respected educational publishing company with a strong focus on helping all people—with and without disabilities—reach their potential.

Beikirch Citation\n\nFor conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. Sgt. Beikirch\, medical aidman\, Detachment B-24\, Company B\, distinguished himself during the defense of Camp Dak Seang. The allied defenders suffered a number of casualties as a result of an intense\, devastating attack launched by the enemy from well-concealed positions surrounding the camp. Sgt. Beikirch\, with complete disregard for his personal safety\, moved unhesitatingly through the withering enemy fire to his fallen comrades\, applied first aid to their wounds and assisted them to the medical-aid station. When informed that a seriously injured American officer was lying in an exposed position\, Sgt. Beikirch ran immediately through the hail of fire. Although he was wounded seriously by fragments from an exploding enemy mortar shell\, Sgt. Beikirch carried the officer to a medical aid station. Ignoring his own serious injuries\, Sgt. Beikirch left the relative safety of the medical bunker to search for and evacuate other men who had been injured. He was again wounded as he dragged a critically injured Vietnamese soldier to the medical bunker while simultaneously applying mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to sustain his life. Sgt. Beikirch again refused treatment and continued his search for other casualties until he collapsed. Only then did he permit himself to be treated. Sgt. Beikirch’s complete devotion to the welfare of his comrades\, at the risk of his life\, are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit on him\, his unit\, and the U.S. Army. \n  \nHost and Interviewer \nCathy Ehlers Metcalf joined the Medal of Honor Character Development Program as Vice President of Education in 2015 after serving as a Regional Curriculum Trainer. Cathy taught college-level writing for over 33 years in Southern California. Cathy’s father was a World War II Medal of Honor Recipient.

SUMMARY:How Technology Promotes ELL and Family Success
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Bernadette Musetti\, Associate Professor and Director of Liberal Studies at Loyola Marymount University\nSponsored by Rosetta Stone \nWatch the Recording\nIf you attended the live session\, you’ll be emailed a CE certificate within 24 hours of the edWebinar. If you view the recording and would like a CE certificate\, join the Using Technology for Language Instruction community and go to the edWebinar Archives folder to take the CE quiz. \nLanguage-learning technology can accelerate a student’s ability to gain English proficiency while also promoting school engagement with students’ families. Technology initiatives increase English Language Learner (ELL) opportunities for language development\, which in turn can accelerate language learning. Once that new ability is added alongside the student’s existing primary language skills\, ELLs become bilinguals—the very individuals who are in such great demand now\, and will continue to be in the future. \nDr. Bernadette Musetti\, Associate Professor and Director of Liberal Studies at Loyola Marymount University\, has devoted her career to learning about and creating more equity and access to education for ELL students. In this edWebinar\, Dr. Musetti shares how digital language learning: \n\nAffects a given student’s ELL educational trajectory\nIncreases students’ familiarity with technology tools\nProvides feedback on language production and progress\n\nUsing technology tools to close the “opportunity to learn” gap also promotes school engagement with students’ families. English Language Learners with equal access to technology are able to increase their learning and practice time to achieve better education outcomes. This recorded edWebinar will benefit educators\, administrators\, school district decision makers\, curriculum directors\, and anyone with an ELL title. \nAbout the Presenter \nDr. Bernadette Musetti is an associate professor and director of liberal studies at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles\, California. She teaches a wide range of courses\, including Education & the Public Good\, Education and Global Issues\, Second Language Acquisition\, Paradigms of Education\, Methods for English Language Development\, and many others. She earned a BA degree in history at Mills College\, an MA in TESOL—Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages—at the Monterey Institute of International Studies\, and a PhD in curriculum & instruction: language\, literacy & culture at the University of California Davis. \nDr. Musetti’s research and publications include\, but are not limited to\, science and English Learners\, English Learners and Common Core State Standards\, multicultural literature\, and promoting high levels of multiple literacies.
