SUMMARY:Equity in Education: An Examination of Practices in the United States
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Steven Almazan\, Public Policy Professional and Consultant\, Almazan Consulting; and Anurima Bhargava\, Founder and President\, Anthem of Us \nSponsored by Imagine Learning \nWatch the Recording\nGet a CE Certificate for this edWebinar Learn more \nAll students have the potential to grow and develop academically. However\, some practices in U.S. educational systems reflect inequitable approaches for educating students. Educational equity is impacted by many contributing factors such as race\, gender\, socio-economic status\, language proficiency\, learning disability status\, and other social and cultural factors. Students who hold unique identities should receive an adequate amount of resources\, human capital\, instructional time\, and social support to ensure that they are learning and growing at their fullest potential. What can teachers and administrators do to promote equity in schools and classrooms? What practices should be examined and challenged as inequitable? \nIn this edWebinar\, we explore a variety of policies and practices that aim to address the foundational challenges of achieving educational equity in the United States. We also highlight ways educators can address equity in their school systems. \nViewers will leave this edWebinar with ideas on how to address equity in their districts\, schools\, and classrooms. This recorded edWebinar will be of benefit to preK through middle school teachers\, and school and district leaders and administrators. \n \nAbout the Presenter \nSteven Almazan currently serves as an independent consultant.

SUMMARY:3 Big Ideas for Implementing Effective Social and Emotional Learning Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Stephanie Jones\, Director of the Ecological Approaches to Social-Emotional Learning (EASEL) Lab\, Professor of Education\, Harvard Graduate School of Education\, and Senior Fellow\, International Center for Leadership in Education \nSponsored by International Center for Leadership in Education \nWatch the Recording\nGet a CE Certificate for this edWebinar Learn more \nEmpowering teachers to design their own SEL instruction makes sense; they know their students best. However\, many SEL programs adopted by schools consist of scripted and sequenced curricula designed to be used in a weekly 30-minute block often led by a school counselor or designated SEL facilitator. These programs tend to be expensive\, require significant training and ongoing support\, and limit individual autonomy or choice as adaptations or deviations from the script are seen as threats to program fidelity. Imagine an approach to SEL that is developmental\, flexible\, responsive to local needs\, and focused on strategies for teachers to implement as appropriate\, rather than a sequenced curriculum for them to follow. In this edWebinar\, Dr. Stephanie Jones shares three big ideas to consider for reimagining how SEL can happen in and outside of school. \nThis recorded edWebinar will be of value to kindergarten through high school teachers\, librarians\, and school and district leaders. \n \nAbout the Presenter \nDr. Stephanie M. Jones is a professor of child development and education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. She’s spent the last ten years studying the impact of social-emotional learning interventions on behavioral and academic outcomes of preschool and elementary students. Throughout the process\, she has developed and tested programs\, pedagogy\, and curricula that foster social-emotional competencies among children\, adults\, and their environments. Stephanie is a firm believer in evaluating educational programs with rigorous scientific research and providing early and middle childhood practitioners and policymakers with accessible content. She’s conducted such research for several programs and early education efforts\, including Reading\, Writing\, Respect and Resolution\, Resolving Conflict Creatively\, SECURe\, and the Head Start CARES initiative. Before she received her doctorate in developmental psychology from Yale University\, she worked as a Research Associate at Columbia University’s National Center for Children in Poverty. In addition to serving as Senior Fellow at ICLE\, Stephanie serves on numerous national advisory boards including the National Board of Engaging Schools and the Council of Distinguished Scientists for the National Commission on Social\, Emotional\, and Academic Development convened by the Aspen Institute. In 2008\, she was awarded the Grawemeyer Award in Education for her work on A Vision for Universal Preschool Education; a few years later she received the Joseph E. Zins Early-Career Distinguished Contribution Award for Action Research in Social and Emotional Learning. \n \nJoin the Social-Emotional Learning community to network with educators\, participate in online discussions\, receive invitations to upcoming edWebinars\, and view recordings of previous programs to earn CE certificates. \n\n \nThe International Center for Leadership in Education’s mission is to challenge\, inspire\, and equip today’s educators – both teachers and leaders – to prepare our students for lifelong success.

Giunta. Specialist Giunta\, who was awarded the Medal of Honor for risking his life above and beyond the call of duty while in Afghanistan. \nInterviews with Medal of Honor Recipients are part of the Medal of Honor Character Development Program\, a free program that helps students build character and promotes responsible citizenship.

While under heavy enemy fire\, Specialist Giunta sprinted towards cover and engaged the enemy\, then exposed himself to enemy fire to administer medical aid to his squad leader. Realizing that a fellow soldier had become separated from the element\, Specialist Giunta then advanced forward on his own initiative and observed two insurgents carrying the soldier away. He immediately engaged the enemy and was able to rescue and provide medical aid to the wounded soldier. Specialist Giunta’s unwavering courage\, selflessness\, and decisive leadership were integral to his platoon’s ability to defeat an enemy ambush and recover a fellow American soldier from the enemy. \nHere are ways you can share this inspiring story and interview with your students: \n\nShare Specialist Giunta’s story with your class.\nWatch to the recording above to share and discuss with your class.\nTake advantage of the free lessons provided by the Medal of Honor Character Development Program.

Giunta distinguished himself conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty in action with an armed enemy in the Korengal Valley\, Afghanistan\, on October 25\, 2007. While conducting a patrol as team leader with Company B\, 2d Battalion (Airborne)\, 503d Infantry Regiment\, Specialist Giunta and his team were navigating through harsh terrain when they were ambushed by a well-armed and well-coordinated insurgent force. While under heavy enemy fire\, Specialist Giunta immediately sprinted towards cover and engaged the enemy. Seeing that his squad leader had fallen and believing that he had been injured\, Specialist Giunta exposed himself to withering enemy fire and raced towards his squad leader\, helped him to cover\, and administered medical aid. While administering first aid\, enemy fire struck Specialist Giunta’s body armor and his secondary weapon. Without regard to the ongoing fire\, Specialist Giunta engaged the enemy before prepping and throwing grenades\, using the explosions for cover in order to conceal his position. Attempting to reach additional wounded fellow soldiers who were separated from the squad\, Specialist Giunta and his team encountered a barrage of enemy fire that forced them to the ground. The team continued forward and upon reaching the wounded soldiers\, Specialist Giunta realized that another soldier was still separated from the element. Specialist Giunta then advanced forward on his own initiative. As he crested the top of a hill\, he observed two insurgents carrying away an American soldier. He immediately engaged the enemy\, killing one and wounding the other. Upon reaching the wounded soldier\, he began to provide medical aid\, as his squad caught up and provided security. Specialist Giunta’s unwavering courage\, selflessness\, and decisive leadership while under extreme enemy fire were integral to his platoon’s ability to defeat an enemy ambush and recover a fellow American soldier from the enemy. Specialist Salvatore A. Giunta’s extraordinary heroism and selflessness above and beyond the call of duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself\, Company B\, 2d Battalion (Airborne)\, 503d Infantry Regiment\, and the United States Army. \n\n \nAbout the Host \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.

SUMMARY:Why a Districtwide Approach to SEL is our Best Hope for Managing COVID-19 Mandates for Home-based Learning: A Case Study of RULER
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Marc Brackett\, Ph.D.\, Founding Director\, Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence\, and Professor\, Child Study Center\, Yale University; Melissa Moore\, Ed.D.\, Superintendent\, El Segundo School District (CA); and Alice Lee\, Ed.D.\, Principal\, Richmond Street School\, El Segundo School District (CA)\nHosted by Barbara Pape\, Policy and Communications Director\, Learner Variability Project\, Digital Promise \nSponsored by Digital Promise \nWatch the Recording\nGet a CE Certificate for this edWebinar Learn more \n Understanding emotions is an even more critical aspect of teaching and learning when schools are shuttered\, sometimes statewide\, due to crises like COVID-19. How do we manage anxiety and build relationships while we are forced to socially distance ourselves from our neighbors\, friends\, teachers\, students\, and even our families? How do we ensure that social and emotional learning is carried on as students and teachers meet over Zoom\, or don’t get to see nor hear from each other at all?\nIn this edWebinar\, Yale professor and emotional intelligence researcher Marc Brackett discusses insights from his new book Permission to Feel and his nearly three-decade-long pursuit of implementing RULER\, his Center’s whole-school approach to SEL into thousands of our nation’s schools. RULER has been shown in research to create more positive and safe learning environments\, stronger relationships\, and enhanced academic success and well-being. Marc also will highlight innovative strategies to help us all become “emotion scientists” and inspire us to bring out the best in ourselves\, each other\, and our students – especially in these trying times. \nMarc is joined by Melissa Moore\, superintendent\, and Alice Lee\, principal of Richmond Street School\, both from the El Segundo (CA) School District. They share how they’ve incorporated RULER into their district and provide an on-the-ground report to demonstrate how to introduce and nurture SEL and sustain it districtwide. Together they also discuss how having a districtwide SEL program in place has significantly helped teachers\, students\, and their families/caregivers pivot to home-based learning. \nThis recorded edWebinar will: \n\nGround you in an understanding of what the research says about the mental health and well-being of our nation’s educators and students\nShow how SEL can improve the academic life and well-being of students and their teachers\nDemonstrate what it takes to start and integrate a systemic approach to SEL like RULER\, including what pitfalls to look out for\, and how to measure success\nDiscuss how SEL can be continued in a distant-learning environment\n\nThis recorded edWebinar will be of benefit to teachers\, librarians\, and school and district leaders of all grade levels. \n \nAbout the Presenter \nMarc Brackett\, Ph.D.\, is the founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and professor in the Child Study Center at Yale University.

SUMMARY:Facilitating Young Children’s Learning with Nature
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Rachel A. Larimore\, Chief Visionary\, Samara Early Learning\, LLC \nSponsored by Kaplan Early Learning Company \nWatch the Recording\nGet a CE Certificate for this edWebinar Learn more \nNature-based education seems to be all the rage lately. This includes nature-based preschools\, forest preschools\, and nature-based elementary programs. While the number of immersive nature-based programs is increasing\, there are thousands of more traditional programs that have the opportunity to meaningfully integrate nature into their early childhood program. This edWebinar helps early childhood providers\, no matter their situation\, consider the principles fundamental to a nature-based approach and integrate those principles into teaching practice. \nThis edWebinar particularly focuses on the teacher-child interactions that best support children learning with nature rather than simply learning in or about nature. This approach doesn’t happen overnight\, but rather occurs through daily programmatic and teaching decisions. Rachel Larimore provides concrete ways to integrate high-quality nature-based early childhood education practices into the classroom inside\, outside\, and beyond the fence of the play area. The edWebinar includes discussion around modeling and facilitating for children\, questioning\, when to use silence as a pedagogical tool\, and how to support developmentally appropriate risky play. Viewers will leave this recorded edWebinar with tangible ideas that can be implemented the next day as well as some ideas that can be worked toward in the future. \nThis recorded edWebinar will be of benefit to preK through elementary school teachers\, librarians\, and school and district leaders. \n \nAbout the Presenter \nRachel Larimore is an educator\, speaker\, consultant\, and author of the books Establishing a Nature-Based Preschool and Preschool Beyond Walls: Blending Early Childhood Education and Nature-Based Learning. She is also the founder of Samara Early Learning (SEL)—a consulting business focused on supporting nature-based early childhood professionals.

SUMMARY:Developing\, Maintaining\, and Extending Fluency in Math: Addition and Subtraction
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Sara Delano Moore\, Ph.D.\, Director of Professional Learning\, ORIGO Education \nSponsored by ORIGO Education \nWatch the Recording\nGet a CE Certificate for this edWebinar Learn more \nJoin us for part one of this two-part series focused on developing\, maintaining\, and extending fluency in mathematics. \nFluency in mathematics means more than fast and accurate recall of facts. Yes\, students must know their facts from memory\, but learning them by memorization is not helpful. Knowing from memory means learning from deliberately sequenced\, strategy-based instruction. Knowing from memory means shorter periods of practice over a longer period of time. Being fluent means moving beyond basic facts to using that same reasoning with larger whole numbers\, fractions\, and decimals. How do we support this for our students? \nIn this edWebinar\, review research about fluency and memorization and share strategies for helping students develop fluency for the long run\, putting this research into practice. We share appropriate strategies for addition and subtraction and show how those strategies extend to other classes of numbers. We will also discuss the role of games as an at-home tool for developing fluency. Watch Sara Delano Moore\, Ph.D.\, in this edWebinar to think deeply about building fluency in addition and subtraction. \nThis recorded edWebinar will be of benefit to kindergarten through middle school teachers and school and district leaders.  \nView part 2 here: Developing\, Maintaining\, and Extending Fluency in Math: Multiplication and Division \n \nAbout the Presenter \nSara Delano Moore\, Ph.D.\, serves as Director of Professional Learning and Chair of the Mathematics Advisory Board at ORIGO Education.

SUMMARY:Don’t Look Away: Embracing Anti-Bias Classrooms
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Iheoma U. Iruka\, Ph.D.\, Chief Research Innovation Officer & Director\, HighScope Educational Research Foundation; Stephanie Curenton\, Ph.D.\, Associate Professor\, Boston University; and Kerry-Ann Escayg\, Ph.D.\, Assistant Professor\, University of Nebraska at Omaha \nSponsored by Gryphon House \nWatch the Recording\nGet a CE Certificate for this edWebinar Learn more \nIn this edWebinar\, the lead authors of the newly released book\, Don’t Look Away: Embracing Anti-Bias Classrooms\, call all early education professionals to lean in as “sheroes” and “heroes” in the lives of children; early educators are potential change agents in children’s and families’ lives. The goal of this edWebinar is to ensure that participants understand and embrace anti-bias and anti-racist teaching approaches by creating affirming culturally-rich classroom environments that protect children from psychological trauma and heals them from the inside out. Viewers will learn how institutional racism is visited in the early childhood space and the roles of implicit bias\, microaggression\, and white privilege in undermining the excellence and learning of minoritized Black and brown children and those who teach them. Viewers will be armored with tools and strategies\, but most importantly\, partners in the fight to ensure that we deliver on the promise of education especially for those who helped to build it. \nThis recorded edWebinar will be of interest to preK through elementary teachers\, school and district leaders\, coaches\, trainers\, and childcare providers\, owners\, and administrators. \n \nAbout the Presenters \nIheoma U. Iruka\, Ph.D.\, is the Chief Research Innovation Officer and Director of The Center for Early Education Research and Evaluation at HighScope Educational Research Foundation. Dr. Iruka is engaged in projects and initiatives focused on how evidence-informed policies\, systems\, and practices in early education can support the optimal development and experiences of low-income and ethnic minority children\, such as through family engagement and support\, quality rating and improvement systems\, and early care and education systems and programs. She has been engaged in addressing how best to ensure excellence for young diverse learners\, especially Black children\, such as through the development of a classroom observation measure\, examination of non-traditional pedagogical approaches\, public policies\, and publications geared towards early education practitioners and policymakers. \n \nStephanie M. Curenton\, Ph.D.\, is a tenured Associate Professor at the Boston University Wheelock College of Education & Human Development. She studies the social\, cognitive\, and language development of low-income and minority children within various ecological contexts\, such as parent-child interactions\, early childhood education programs\, early childhood workforce programs\, and related state and federal policies. \n \nKerry-Ann Escayg\, Ph.D.\, is an Assistant Professor of Early Childhood Education at the University of Nebraska-Omaha. Dr. Escayg’s research focuses on anti-racism in early childhood education as well as children and race. As a social theorist\, Dr. Escayg has utilized central tenets of Critical Race Theory\, Black Feminist Thought\, and Anti-racist Education to offer incisive exegeses on children’s racial attitudes\, including strategies to promote positive racial identity among Black children; a research-derived protocol to assess how children express their racialized beliefs through play; and an anti-racist approach to U.S early childhood education. Her recent publications on anti-racism highlight and interrogate the ways in which whiteness\, as a system of racial privilege\, functions in early childhood contexts. Central to Dr. Escayg’s work is a commitment to racial equity in the early years and the holistic well-being of children of color\, and Black children in particular. \nJoin the Early Learning Book Chats community to network with educators\, participate in online discussions\, receive invitations to upcoming edWebinars\, and view recordings of previous programs to earn CE certificates. \n\nGryphon House\, Inc. is an award-winning publisher of early childhood resources for teachers and parents.
