SUMMARY:Character Education: Interview with Medal of Honor Recipient Patrick Brady (Vietnam)
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation\nSponsored by the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation \nWatch the Recording\nListen to the Podcast \nIf you view the recording and would like a CE certificate\, join the The Medal of Honor Character Development Program community and go to the CE Quizzes link in the Community Toolbox. \nPlan for your class to watch the on-demand recording with Medal of Honor Recipient Patrick Brady. Major Brady was awarded the Medal of Honor for a series of rescues performed while serving in Vietnam which began at sunrise and ended after dark. Repeatedly he was warned by competent advisors that the missions were impossible due to weather\, the enemy situation\, and mines. On three different missions and six tasks Major Brady extracted patients from areas where other aircraft failed. On two different occasions his aircraft was hit by automatic weapons’ fire. On a third occasion his aircraft was severely damaged by a mine. During that day Major Brady evacuated over 70 patients many who would have died without expeditious medical care. \nThis edWebinar\, presented by the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation\, is an inspiring learning opportunity for middle and high school students to connect directly with an American hero. Interviews 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 through a deeper understanding of stories of courage and sacrifice. Before the edWebinar\, we encourage teachers to review Brady’s story with their class. \nStudent viewers must view the program with their teacher. You can use the link to the recording above if you would like to show it to your class at another time. \nMedal of Honor Recipient Patrick Brady Citation\n\nFor conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty\, Maj. Brady distinguished himself while serving in the Republic of Vietnam commanding a UH-1H ambulance helicopter\, where he volunteered to rescue wounded men from a site in enemy held territory which was reported to be heavily defended and to be blanketed by fog. To reach the site he descended through heavy fog and smoke and hovered slowly along a valley trail\, turning his ship sideward to blow away the fog with the backwash from his rotor blades. \nDespite the unchallenged\, close-range enemy fire\, he found the dangerously small site\, where he successfully landed and evacuated 2 badly wounded South Vietnamese soldiers. He was then called to another area completely covered by dense fog where American casualties lay only 50 meters from the enemy. Two aircraft had previously been shot down and others had made unsuccessful attempts to reach this site earlier in the day. With unmatched skill and extraordinary courage\, Maj. Brady made 4 flights to this embattled landing zone and successfully rescued all the wounded. On his third mission of the day Maj. Brady once again landed at a site surrounded by the enemy. The friendly ground force\, pinned down by enemy fire\, had been unable to reach and secure the landing zone. \nAlthough his aircraft had been badly damaged and his controls partially shot away during his initial entry into this area\, he returned minutes later and rescued the remaining injured. Shortly thereafter\, obtaining a replacement aircraft\, Maj. Brady was requested to land in an enemy minefield where a platoon of American soldiers was trapped. A mine detonated near his helicopter\, wounding two crewmembers and damaging his ship. In spite of this\, he managed to fly six severely injured patients to medical aid. Throughout that day Maj. Brady utilized three helicopters to evacuate a total of 51 seriously wounded men\, many of whom would have perished without prompt medical treatment. Maj. Brady’s bravery was in the highest traditions of the military service and reflects great credit upon himself and the U.S. Army. \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. Those experiences gave Cathy a great respect for both the Medal of Honor and a passion for service to our Nation’s Veterans. \n  \n  \nJoin The Medal of Honor Character Development Program community to network with educators\, participate in online discussions\, receive invitations to upcoming edWebinars\, view past edWebinars\, take a quiz to receive a CE certificate for a past edWebinar\, and access free resources. \nThe Medal of Honor Character Development Program is a free resource that teaches character through stories of the Medal of Honor recipients.

SUMMARY:Executive Function for Today’s Student and Tomorrow’s Leader
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Roxanne Desforges\, M.A.\, Lecturer\, McGill University\nSponsored by Studyo \nWatch the Recording\nIf you view the recording and would like a CE certificate\, join the College and Career Readiness community and go to the CE Quizzes link in the Community Toolbox. \nExperts agree that for schools to prepare students for the future of work there needs to be a greater focus on teaching students how to learn. \nFocusing on the how of learning is all about executive function. Executive function skills enable students to perform crucial academic (and eventually\, professional) tasks that are of use in all school subjects and professions. These tasks include goal setting\, planning\, organizing\, prioritizing\, memorizing\, initiating\, shifting and self-monitoring. Each of these tasks is crucial to the academic success of today’s students who must be able to read long- and short-form texts\, write essays\, conduct research\, give presentations\, coordinate and complete group and independent projects\, and of course\, take tests. \nTurning executive function skills into habits takes time and regular practice. Executive function is a cross-curricular goal\, which means it should be promoted across all grades and all courses. In this edWebinar\, Roxanne Desforges\, M.A.\, lecturer at McGill University\, discusses how you can create a school-wide infrastructure for executive function by promoting it through school culture and traditions\, through classroom management practices\, and importantly\, through the educational technology you choose to adopt. \nMiddle and high school educators will benefit from watching this recorded session. Gain insight on how to lay the groundwork for lifelong success through executive function. \nAbout the Presenter\nRoxanne Desforges is a Ph.D. candidate at McGill University where she also teaches and conducts research on the future of work and education. With her combined experience in the K12 classroom and in the education technology industry\, Roxanne is rethinking how we teach pre-service teachers about educational technology—setting her sights on helping schools achieve loftier goals. \n  \n  \nJoin the College and Career Readiness community to participate in online discussions with peers\, for invitations to upcoming webinars\, to view past edWebinar recordings\, to take a quiz and receive a CE certificate for a past edWebinar\, and for access to more resources. \n Studyo is a student-centered task management platform which helps students build their organisation skills by combining a school’s true schedule with tasks from many sources whether entered by students or posted by teachers on a variety of platforms such as Google Classroom\, Blackbaud’s onCampus\, Canvas LMS and others.

SUMMARY:Learning How to Learn: Support Preschoolers’ Approaches to Learning with Music
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Michelle Jamail\, Early Childhood Music Specialist and Music Together Teacher\, Bluebonnet Montessori School\, Lakeway\, TX\nSponsored by Music Together \nWatch the Recording\nIf you view the recording and would like a CE certificate\, join the Music in Early Learning community and go to the CE Quizzes link in the Community Toolbox. \nAs an educator\, you know that young children learn in different ways—they have different learning styles\, classroom habits\, and attitudes toward learning. These learning behaviors fall under the developmental domain Approaches to Learning\, which encompasses not what children learn\, but how they learn: how they engage in learning and classroom activities to acquire new information. Having a positive approach toward learning lays the groundwork for development in other domains essential to school and life success. \nIn this edWebinar\, Michelle Jamail\, early childhood music specialist and Music Together teacher at Bluebonnet Montessori School of Lakeway\, TX\, explores the many ways music making very naturally and deeply supports a child’s positive approach toward learning. She also introduces some research on this topic\, and explore how music can serve as a lens through which to learn about a child’s attitude and disposition toward learning\, as well as their learning style and habits. Learn some accessible music activity ideas that you can use to support children’s positive approaches to learning in your classrooms! \nEducators working with toddlers\, preschoolers\, and kindergartners are invited to watch this recorded edWebinar. Gain strategies for using music to support children’s approaches to learning. \nAbout the Presenter \nSince 2007\, Michelle Jamail has been leading the music program at Bluebonnet Montessori School of Lakeway\, TX. In addition\, Michelle is a music specialist for Heartsong Music in Austin\, TX\, where she works with children birth through age six and their parents and caregivers. Michelle has achieved Certification Level II Status from Music Together Worldwide\, having demonstrated outstanding achievement in teaching\, musicianship\, program philosophy\, and parent education. She frequently presents at national conferences including the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC)\, and facilitates workshops for state early childhood professional development and training organizations. Michelle studied applied learning and development at the University of Texas in the College of Education. \nJoin the Music in Early Learning community to network with educators\, participate in online discussions\, receive invitations to upcoming edWebinars\, view past edWebinars\, take a quiz to receive a CE certificate for a past edWebinar\, and access free resources. \n  \n At Music Together\, we understand the importance of music in early childhood—from birth\, in fact. 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.

SUMMARY:Feedback Loops with Teachers and Children: The Parallel Process in Action
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Mary-Margaret Gardiner\, CLASS Specialist; and Mamie Morrow\, CLASS Specialist\nSponsored by Teachstone \nWatch the Recording\nIf you view the recording and would like a CE certificate\, join the PD in Action community and go to the CE Quizzes link in the Community Toolbox. \nWe know that the interactions between teachers and children are critical in helping children learn and feel comfortable and confident in the classroom. These same interactions are important in other relationships you have like the relationships coaches have with teachers. \nHigh-quality feedback loops are a valuable source of “fuel” for encouraging children to engage with thinking and learning. There are many opportunities for teachers to provide feedback in the classroom. In this edWebinar\, Mary-Margaret Gardiner and Mamie Morrow\, CLASS Specialists for Teachstone\, provide concrete examples and strategies for how teachers can provide children with the kinds of experiences that will: \n\nFuel their passions\nHelp them engage at a deeper level\nEncourage them to be persistent when challenged\nKeep them coming back for more learning and inquiry\n\nFeedback doesn’t have to end in the classroom. Mary-Margaret and Mamie also highlight how feedback loops are important for administrators and coaches to provide to teachers. Hear about strategies that can be used to support teachers by scaffolding them with hints and assistance\, prompting them to think deeper\, providing good information\, and encouraging them to expand their learning. This model is called parallel process. Parallel process means engaging in the same interaction strategies we want teachers to use in classrooms with children\, only this time\, between adults. Instead of teacher-child interactions\, parallel process is about adult-adult interactions. \nThis recorded session is designed for Pre-K through Grade 3 teachers\, coaches\, and administrators. However\, those working with older students are also invited to attend. Learn how to put the parallel process into action. \nAbout the Presenters\nMary-Margaret Gardiner is a CLASS Specialist for Teachstone. She has been in the early childhood community for over 35 years\, driven by her passion to support the teachers who work with our most valuable asset\, our children. She joined Teachstone in 2010 and has been a CLASS convert since the early days before Teachstone was even started! \n  \n  \n  \n\nSince 2013\, Mamie has enjoyed her work at Teachstone as a CLASS Specialist enriching coaching and instructional skills. Her diverse background as an early childhood and elementary teacher in schools around the world helps her form meaningful connections with educators across the nation. Having worked with children in New Mexico\, Germany\, Guam\, Alaska\, Japan\, Washington DC and Florida\, she appreciates the powerful impact effective interactions have on children. \n  \n  \nJoin the PD in Action community to network with educators\, participate in online discussions\, receive invitations to upcoming edWebinars\, view past edWebinars\, take a quiz to receive a CE certificate for a past edWebinar\, and access free resources. \nAs the trusted leader in CLASS-driven measurement and professional development\, Teachstone has the proven expertise schools need to nurture better academic and social-emotional outcomes\, one classroom at a time.

SUMMARY:View Beneath Their Feet: Thinking Critically About Classroom Rugs
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Sandra Duncan\, Classroom Design Expert\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 CE Quizzes link in the Community Toolbox. \nThere are times when it is important to watch the view beneath your feet such as when walking on a muddy trail\, rocky pathway\, uneven sidewalk\, or bumpy walkway. We are careful when traversing down steep stairs\, climbing up and down a tall step ladder\, or getting in and out of a wobbly canoe. When unfamiliar with the landscape or unsure of our footing\, we watch our step because we don’t want to trip\, stumble\, or—worst case scenario—fall. What’s below our feet tells us how to act and move. An uneven walking surface sends a message to slow down and mind our step\, or\, when coming down a steep hill\, our brains send a message to our bodies to walk with care and our eyes help us to find the best way down. The view beneath our feet informs us how to navigate and move about the space. Likewise\, the view beneath children’s feet sends important messages about how to move about the classroom environment. \nWatch Classroom Design Expert Dr. Sandra Duncan in this edWebinar to learn how area rugs play a critical role in defining spaces and helping children navigate the classroom. Viewers will become knowledgeable about the purpose of rugs\, their selection\, and how to position them in the classroom. They will understand how to determine the appropriate size\, shape\, type\, and design of the rugs for your classroom. PreK educators will benefit from attending this session. Viewers will walk away from this recorded presentation with a new appreciation and perspective about rugs as an important element of classroom design. \nAbout the Presenter \nWith almost 50 years of experience in the early care and education field\, Dr. Sandra Duncan has extensive experiences in publishing curricula and teacher resources\, playing with young children\, training early childhood professionals\, teaching at the university level\, designing professional development programs\, working with parents and CDA candidates\, and authoring several books such as Inspiring Spaces for Young Children; Rating Observation Scale for Inspiring Spaces (ROSIE); Rethinking the Classroom Landscape: Creating Environments that Connect Young Children\, Families\, and Communities; Bringing the Outside In: Ideas for Creating Nature-Based Classroom Experiences for Young Children; and Through a Child’s Eyes: How Classroom Design Affects Behavior and Learning (TBP in November 2018) as well as numerous articles on early childhood environments and connecting children with nature. \nJoin the Classroom Management for Early Learning community to network with educators\, participate in online discussions\, receive invitations to upcoming edWebinars\, view past edWebinars\, take a quiz to receive a CE certificate for a past edWebinar\, and access free resources. \n Kaplan Early Learning Company is a leading international provider of products and services that enhance children’s learning.
