SUMMARY:Trauma-Sensitive Practices for a Positive\, Thriving Classroom
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Rachel Wagner\, MSW\, Early Childhood Mental Health Specialist\, National Trainer\, Devereux Center for Resilient Children\nSponsored by Kaplan Early Learning \nWatch the Recording\nIf you view the recording and would like a CE certificate\, join the Classroom Management for Early Learning  community and go to the edWebinar Archives folder to take the CE quiz.  \nChallenging behaviors come from old traumas\, neurological limitations\, and the appropriate urge to survive. Based on the most recent research\, approximately 26% of children in America experience trauma before the age of four (Statman-Weil). All children\, including children who have experienced trauma\, benefit from classrooms with strong social and emotional strategies in place. In every early childhood setting\, there is likely to be one or more children who have experienced trauma\, and the teacher will not necessarily know who these children are\, or of the details of the trauma they have endured. \nThe goal of this edWebinar is to raise the awareness of participants around what trauma is and what the impact of trauma looks like in young children. Learn from Rachel Wagner\, MSW\, Early Childhood Mental Health Specialist and National Trainer for the Devereux Center for Resilient Children\, about specific trauma-sensitive practices and gain an understanding about how these practices support children’s healthy social and emotional development. The good news for teachers is that these practices are appropriate for every single child in the group and\, when implemented with consistency\, result in a more peaceful\, collaborative\, and positive classroom where all children can not only survive\, but thrive. \nPre-K teachers and other professionals supporting young children will benefit from watching this recorded session. \nAbout the Presenter \nRachel Wagner received her bachelor’s degree in clinical sociology from Ithaca College and received her Master’s in Social Work from the University of Albany. Rachel is a lead national trainer and early childhood mental health specialist for the Devereux Center for Resilient Children (DCRC). She is the author of FLIP IT!

SUMMARY:5 Things to Give Up So Your Struggling Readers Won't
DESCRIPTION:Presented by BeLinda Martin\, Fifth Grade Reading/ELA Teacher\nSponsored by Learning Ally \nWatch the Recording\nIf you view the recording and would like a CE certificate\, join the Empowering Struggling Readers community and go to the edWebinar Archives folder to take the CE quiz.  \nWith each new school year comes a new class of students. Students that you may not know personally and have only heard about from colleagues. You might spend the summer anxious about how you are going to address the vast levels of reading proficiency of your incoming students. This was the case for BeLinda Martin. Of the incoming class of fifth graders\, only about half were reaching or exceeding levels of reading proficiency. BeLinda had to think differently than she had in her over 20 years of experience to address this gap in reading abilities. The first step in this journey was to give up. \nIn this edWebinar\,  hear about BeLinda’s journey of giving up these practices and gaining so much more in return: \n\nThinking that direct instruction was the way to reach and engage students\nDesigning the environment first without thinking about the needs of the students\nBelieving that students were stuck in their level of reading proficiency\nBelieving the myths that audiobooks are cheating\nTeaching to the test and not with the needs of students in mind\n\nAlso hear how her classroom became a haven for struggling readers\, a place where learning happened and teaching became organic through small groups and conversations. Plus\, her students had the top scores in Region 14 in Texas for performance on the STARR reading test. \nBeLinda’s story of classroom transformation is incredible\, but what’s more incredible is how easy it is to replicate. After tuning in to this edWebinar\, you will want to give up in your own classrooms and gain amazing growth for your own struggling readers. Elementary level general and SPED teachers\, reading specialists\, speech language pathologists\, librarians\, principals\, SPED directors\, directors of assistive technology\, and directors of curriculum will benefit from watching this recorded session. \nAbout the Presenter \nBeLinda Martin is excited to be entering her 20th year in education. When she graduated from Hardin-Simmons University with a Bachelor of Science and early childhood endorsement she never imagined the adventure teaching would take her on. BeLinda has had the opportunity to teach a fifth grade self-contained class\, fifth grade reading\, language arts\, and social studies\, fifth/sixth grade reading\, sixth grade science\, and seventh grade reading. Throughout her years of teaching\, she has discovered that believing in oneself is half the battle. Therefore she always tells her students that she will never give them anything they can’t accomplish\, it just might not always be easy. BeLinda teaches them to believe in themselves and persevere. She understands that education is always changing and as educators you must be willing to change also. A classroom is a partnership with the students. If you provide a positive atmosphere where success can be achieved\, your students will be successful. \nIf you view the recording and would like a CE certificate\, join the Empowering Struggling Readers community and go to the edWebinar Archives folder to take the CE quiz. As a member of the community\, you’ll be able to network with educators\, participate in online discussions\, receive invitations to upcoming edWebinars\, and view past edWebinars to earn CE certificates. \nedWeb members can download a personalized CE certificate from their edWeb member page.

Social skills such as joint attention\, turn-taking\, and formulating greetings and appropriate responses are important for all young children to develop\, but are particularly challenging for children with developmental and neurological differences whose social development may require additional support. In this edWebinar\, Carol Ann Blank\, Ph.D.\, LCAT\, LPC\, MT-BC\, and Manager of Research and Special Needs Services for Music Together Worldwide\, introduces participants to songs and rhythmic chants that support these necessary social skills in developmentally appropriate and enjoyable ways. This edWebinar also introduced to relevant social development theories and milestones as they apply to young children. \nViewers will come away with a better understanding of the ways in which developmentally appropriate early childhood music-making experiences can provide important opportunities for social development in the early childhood inclusion classroom\, and how to approach music-making with young children to support social skill development in any child\, particularly those whose social development may be delayed. Educators working with toddlers\, preschoolers\, and kindergartners will benefit from watching this recorded edWebinar. \nAbout the Presenter \nCarol Ann Blank\, LCAT\, LPC\, PhD\, MT-BC earned her doctorate from Drexel University in Philadelphia\, PA.

Because the truth is\, most people are born with enough music aptitude to play in a symphony orchestra when they are adults\, if they choose. But first we must learn how to “speak music”—to take the musical instrument we all have\, ourselves\, developing that musical capacity from a very young age. The sounds we make\, our movements\, our rhythms—these are the building blocks of music and of early childhood learning. And that’s what Music Together is all about.
