SUMMARY:Art as a Persuasive Language
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Cheri Sterman\, Crayola Education Director\, and Melissa Hayes\, Art Education Specialist\, Acton\, MA\nSponsored by Crayola \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 Champion Creativity community and go to the Webinar Archives folder to take the CE quiz.  \nArt conveys meaning. Human brains are wired to notice and respond to visual stimuli. Whether we are aware of it or not\, everything we see influences our thinking\, feeling\, and ultimately the decisions we make. Art is a very persuasive language that can be used to influence behaviors and attitudes. In fact\, advertising uses art/text to influence us and our students. Helping students analyze the reasons behind an ad and how it is trying to influence them is a critical thinking experience that helps them be better decision-makers. In this webinar\, Crayola Education Director Cheri Sterman and Art Education Specialist Melissa Hayes explain how to use art-integration as a teaching strategy that aligns with subjects across the curriculum. This approach encourages students to explore historical and societal contexts and understand the power of crisp word messages that accompany images they “read” as they decode advertising’s intent\, intended audience\, and voice. \nLearning outcomes of this webinar include: \n• Practical ideas on how to teach the literacy skill of reading art to understand how visuals convey meaning\n• A rhetorical composition framework (intent\, intended audience\, voice\, and genre) that helps students compose and decode art and writing\n• An understanding of how we are persuaded by images and use these insights to help students reach their own conclusions and become better decision-makers \nThis recorded webinar will benefit K-8 classroom teachers\, art teachers\, literacy specialists and librarians\, principals\, and early childhood educators and family engagement specialists. \nSpecial Invitation: As special recognition\, the educators who share a piece of artwork that they or their students created based on the power of art to persuade others will receive a complimentary gift from Crayola. Fifty members of the Champion Creativity community who upload the art to the discussion forum\, “Art as a Persuasive Language\,” will receive 24 boxes of 6 ct. Crayola Glitter Markers. The discussion forum is only accessible to members of the Champion Creativity community and the deadline to upload an example of art that was created in a parent meeting is April 3\, 2017. While we’d love to see your art wherever you live\, shipping this gift is only applicable for members in the U.S. and Canada. \nAbout the Presenters\nCheri Sterman\, Director of Education for Crayola\, helps ignite educators’ creative confidence and establish creative collaborations within schools and communities. She leverages insights from having worked with educators across the country\, hearing their passion for innovative teaching strategies that awaken students’ voices. Her approach is to ask essential questions\, spark personal epiphanies through hands-on experiences that make thinking visible\, and provide reflective prompts. Cheri knows that the best solutions live within educators\, and so coaches them in planning their own next steps. Cheri uses an iterative process that helps educators create\, present\, respond\, and connect—making their voices visible. She authored the Art Builds 21st Century Learning series available on Crayola.com and articles in the annual Champion Creatively Alive Children: Principal magazine\, helping schools build creative capacity and engage families in this process. \nMelissa Hayes is an extraordinary art educator—as proclaimed by her colleagues\, who recently elected her as President of the Massachusetts Art Education Association\, and by her elementary students\, who adore her! She’s been teaching K-6 art at Luther Conant Elementary School for the past 13 years\, with a deep passion for building students’ visual literacy and critical thinking skills. Her classes rely on studio techniques\, discussion\, and student reflections to spark innovative thinking and inquiry. She urges students to question themselves and others as they make meaning from artistic experiences. Melissa has presented professional development sessions within her district and at numerous state and national conferences. In 2015 her school was awarded a Champion Creatively Alive Children grant from Crayola. \n  \nJoin the Champion Creativity community to network with educators\, participate in online discussions\, receive invitations to upcoming webinars\, view past webinars\, take a quiz to receive a CE certificate for a past webinar\, and access free resources. \nWATCH THE WEBINAR RECORDING\n \n  \nArt-infused education builds 21st Century skills.

SUMMARY:Renegade Leadership: A Simple Framework for Meaningful Change
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Brad Gustafson\, Principal\, Greenwood Elementary School\, MN\nSponsored by NAESP \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 NAESP Virtual Book Talks for Early Career School Principals community and go to the Webinar Archives folder to take the CE quiz. \nIn this webinar\, Dr. Brad Gustafson hosts a virtual book talk on his book\, Renegade Leadership. The first years in the principalship can be some of the most exciting and difficult years in education.  It’s imperative that new school leaders focus on what really matters during these foundational leadership years. Innovation is something that really matters\, but it can be lost in the frenetic pace and steep learning curve of the principalship…until now. This virtual book talk provides a surprisingly simple framework for applying innovation to the great work already being done in schools. This is NOT a discussion about change for the sake of change. Renegade Leadership promises to empower principals with the tools and how-to support to create meaningful change in their schools. \nAbout the Presenter \nDr. Brad Gustafson\, Principal of Greenwood Elementary School\, is Minnesota’s 2016 National Distinguished Principal and a 2015 Digital Innovation in Learning Award (DILA) winner.

SUMMARY:Teachers’ Skills in the Digital Age and Personalized PD for Teachers
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Lynn Gershman\, Educator\, 2gnō.me\nSponsored by 2gnō.me \nWe’re sorry but the recording for this edWebinar is no longer available.  \nThis webinar is about re-imagining professional development for teachers. In most districts\, PD is based on a one-size-fits-all model of teaching without differentiation\, little teacher input\, and little choice. Basically\, it is the opposite of how we try to teach students and is the most ineffective way to teach anyone\, let alone adults. \nLynn Gershman\, Educator-in-Residence at 2gnō.me\, presents on what makes a successful PD process and the roadblocks to planning such a process\, and share examples of overcoming these roadblocks with awareness and personalization. This recorded webinar will be of particular interest to teachers\, administrators\, district leadership\, instructional technologists\, and PD providers. \nAbout the Presenter \nLynn Gershman has spent 15 years in the secondary classroom honing her practice and working to influence change on a larger scale. Her objective is to reform education in the U.S. through the use of technology. She believes that technology alone will not change the face of education\, but when teachers are willing to examine and augment their practice with technology\, it will revolutionize the way teachers teach and the way students learn. \n  \n  \nJoin the New Models for Professional Learning community to network with educators\, participate in online discussions\, receive invitations to upcoming webinars\, view past webinars\, take a quiz to receive a CE certificate for a past webinar\, and access free resources. \nWith 2gnō.me (“to know me”)\, teachers and school administrators get soft skills intelligence about critical classroom competencies such as collaboration\, content knowledge\, communication\, risk-taking and many more. This unique approach establishes a baseline of skill strengths and gaps\, enhances self-awareness\, and helps address skill gaps with tailored professional development to every teacher—at scale\, with data to back it up. 2gnō.me received the Gold Award at the 2016 Re-Imagine Education competition.

DESCRIPTION:Presented by Richard M. Cash\, Ed.D.\, Educator\, Author\, and Consultant\nSponsored by Free Spirit Publishing \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 Social-Emotional Learning\, Positive Behavior\, and Student Achievement community and go to the Webinar Archives folder to take the CE quiz. \nAs an educator\, you know what you want for your students. You want them to seek out challenges\, ask for help\, resist distractions\, and see mistakes as chances to try again. In other words\, you want kids to be self-regulated learners. Self-regulation for learning (SRL) is the ability to effectively balance affect (how you feel)\, behaviors (what you do)\, and cognition (how you think) to pursue worthy academic goals. Teaching students to balance these three elements builds motivation\, resilience\, and college and career readiness. \nIn this webinar\, Dr. Richard Cash\, Ed.D. discusses doable\, evidence-based practices to help students engage in learning\, build confidence\, set and manage goals\, develop habits of thinking\, do effective home study\, and reflect on their learning. 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.
