SUMMARY:How Research Can (and Should) Inform Curriculum and Product Design
DESCRIPTION:Presented by David Ciulla\, Executive Director\, ReadWorks; and Vic Vuchic\, Chief Innovation Officer\, Digital Promise\nHosted by Susanne Nobles\, Senior Manager\, Learner Positioning Systems\, Digital Promise Global\nSponsored by Digital Promise \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 Personalized Learning for All community and go to the edWebinar Archives folder to take the CE quiz. \nLearner diversity in classrooms has grown tremendously over the past 30 to 40 years. However\, our education system has been slow to support millions of students who are bright\, capable\, and eager to learn\, but are held back by traditional pathways designed for the mythical “average.” To meet this challenge\, Digital Promise Global has developed the Learner Positioning SystemsTM (LPS) project. Steeped in learning science research\, LPS helps educators and product developers understand how learners vary and provides instructional and product design strategies to support the full diversity of learners. \nIn this edWebinar\, David Ciulla\, Executive Director\, ReadWorks\, and Vic Vuchic\, Chief Innovation Officer\, Digital Promise\, explore how learning science research can help us better support all learners\, and how ed-tech product development can be guided by what we know about learners. Superintendents\, instructional tech administrators\, district level curriculum staff at all grade levels but particularly elementary\, and developers and entrepreneurs of ed-tech will benefit from this recorded session. \nAbout the Presenters \nBefore co-founding the nonprofit ReadWorks\, David Ciulla co-founded Sports Basement\, a successful San Francisco-based retail company; was a consultant advising U.S. and international business clients; and was an analyst with Chemical Bank in New York. As a classroom teacher for five years\, David taught middle school ELA\, math\, and science and coached multiple sports. David has also led development projects in the Navajo Nation and the Amazon region of Brazil. \n  \nVic Vuchic\, Chief Innovation Officer\, Digital Promise\, is a seasoned thought leader in education technology and philanthropy. He is an expert in learning science\, innovation\, and scaling what works and has launched game-changing initiatives that have increased access to education and improved learning for tens of millions of learners in the Americas\, Europe\, Asia and Africa.

Prior to consulting\, Vic developed strategies and managed over $100 million in technology-focused grants at the Hewlett Foundation to launch and grow the Open Educational Resources movement and create and advance the Deeper Learning strategy. \nAbout the Host \nSusanne’s focus at Digital Promise Global (DPG) is identifying and communicating the best learning and instructional strategies for learners of all ages and all learning differences. She manages DPG’s Learner Positioning Systems’ partnerships with product developers\, recommending integration of personalized learning research and collaborating with them to solve instructional design challenges and define development roadmaps. She also manages the instructional strategies research for each learner model. Prior to coming to Digital Promise Global\, Susanne was a teacher and administrator for 20 years\, leading and advising 1:1 programs at middle\, secondary\, and collegiate levels\, as well as teaching English and advising yearbook staffs. \nJoin the Personalized Learning for All 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. \nWatch the Recording\nDigital Promise was created with the mission to accelerate innovation in education to improve opportunities to learn. \nThe third installment in Digital Promise Global’s Making Learning Personal For All series\, “Supporting Research-Based Personalization for Reading Success\,” provides an overview of the learning science research behind learning to read.

DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Rebecca Berlin\, Chief Strategy Officer\, Teachstone Training\, LLC\nSponsored by Kaplan Early Learning\nWatch the 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 Classroom Management for Early Learning community and go to the edWebinar Archives folder to take the CE quiz. \nOpen-ended questions create meaningful opportunities for learning\, prompting children to reason and reflect while encouraging their use of language. In this edWebinar\, Teachstone Training’s Chief Strategy Officer Dr. Rebecca Berlin shares tips on using open-ended questions to improve classroom interactions with young learners. She gives advice on how to ask questions that generate meaningful conversation\, and offer strategies for encouraging children to reflect and respond. She also shows how open-ended questions fit within the broader framework of the Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS) that helps teachers improve what matters most in the classroom—the interactions that drive learning and development. \nWhile asking questions comes naturally for many early learning teachers\, asking open-ended questions may not. It takes effort to build a repertoire of questions that encourage young children to reflect on and articulate their own ideas. Teachers often find that they have to be intentional about incorporating open-ended questions into their classroom practice. Learn: \n\nStrategies to implement in your classroom to help you remember to ask open-ended questions\nExercises to assist you in generating lists of generic open-ended questions you can use in your classroom\nTips to assist children in responding to open-ended questions\n\nInfant\, toddler\, Pre-K and early elementary teachers and the administrators\, coaches and specialists who support them are invited to watch this recorded session.\nAbout the Presenter \nDr. Rebecca Berlin is the chief strategy officer at Teachstone Training\, LLC\, and in this role works with states and school districts to implement the CLASS system and sets Teachstone’s strategic direction.

With the continued implementation of mobile devices across classrooms of all ages\, students now expect a level of interactivity within their reading experience. Unfortunately\, this expectation is not always met and all parties miss out on an opportunity for purposeful literacy growth. Students desire “anywhere\, anytime” access to information\, including both fiction and nonfiction texts. How can we\, as educators\, navigate the new challenges being raised to existing models for thinking within\, about\, and beyond the text? \nIn this edWebinar\, Instructional Coach at Lake Zurich Community Unit School District 95 Billy Spicer\, shareS Gravity Goldberg’s 4 M Framework from her Mindsets & Moves book. The framework offers a platform for you to truly model the adage “work smarter\, not harder” regardless of how your students are interacting with text. Adopting this framework will assist you to take a step back in terms of driving instruction and instead\, truly allow students to show what they are capable of\, where they’re headed next\, and how to collectively get there. Learn how to: \n\nStudy your students with wonder and awe\nExplore each of the 4 Ms and their purpose:\n\nMiner: Uncovering students’ reading processes (focus: assessment)\nMirror: Giving feedback that reinforces a growth mindset (focus: feedback)\nModel: Showing readers what we do (focus: demonstration)\nMentor: Guiding students to try new ways of reading (focus: guided practice and coaching)\n\n\nCreate spaces for student ownership\nApply Gravity Goldberg’s 4 M Framework when assessing your students’ level of engagement\n\n About the Presenter \nBilly Spicer currently teaches in Lake Zurich Community Unit School District 95 in suburban Chicago.

SUMMARY:Why Do Schools Pay Different Prices for the Same Stuff?
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Peter Crosta\, VP of Data Science\, Noodle Markets\nSponsored by Noodle Markets \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 InsideK12 community and go to the edWebinar Archives folder to take the CE quiz. \nPrice transparency in K-12 has not historically been top-of-mind for education innovators\, despite federal and state regulations governing competitive bidding and recent advancements in the “edfintech” (education financial technology) space. \nNew research from The Noodle Markets Reports\, which appear regularly on Education Week\, examines spending disparities among districts of differing socioeconomic statuses—for the same goods. Initial reports looked at data around instructional resource purchases in K-3 math\, K-3 ELA\, and 6-8 math. Company market share trends in these categories do not appear to be associated with relative pricing. The latest research looks at paired products purchased across districts. Is pricing consistent? \nIn this edWebinar\, Dr. Peter Crosta presents insights into reasons for pricing disparities and initiatives to increase transparency. Learn about competitive purchasing practices\, state-negotiated purchasing contracts\, district-approved vendor lists\, and minimum bidder requirements. K-12 stakeholders of all levels will learn about the procurement process and promising new efforts to innovate. \n  \nAbout the Presenter \nPeter Crosta\, VP of Data Science\, Noodle Markets\, is responsible for managing and executing data science initiatives.

SUMMARY:Learning Transformed: 8 Keys to Designing Tomorrow's Schools\, Today
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Eric Sheninger\, ICLE Senior Fellow\, Principal\, Author\, Consultant\, and Learner; and Tom Murray\, Director of Innovation\, Future Ready Schools\, Speaker\, Author\, Consultant\, and Learner\nSponsored by NAESP \nWatch the Recording\nListen to the Podcast \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 NAESP Virtual Book Talks for Early Career School Principals community and go to the edWebinar Archives folder to take the CE quiz. \nIn this edWebinar\, innovative educators\, learners\, and authors Eric C. Sheninger and Thomas C. Murray outline eight keys in their book\, Learning Transformed: 8 Keys To Designing Tomorrow’s Schools\, Today. Each is a piece of a puzzle for transforming the K–12 education system of teaching and learning to intentionally design tomorrow’s schools so today’s learners are prepared for success and stand ready to create new industries\, find new cures\, and solve world problems. Built upon the foundation of leadership and school culture\, a transformed learning experience fundamentally shifts the teaching and learning paradigm to one that is personal\, while altering the use of authentic assessments\, how technology is leveraged\, the spaces in which the learning occurs\, the way educators grow professionally\, how schools collaborate with the community\, and ultimately\, the sustainability of the system as a whole. \nWith all that we know about how students learn\, the nature of the world they will face after graduation\, and the educational inequities that have existed for centuries\, maintaining a traditional\, one-size-fits-all approach to teaching and learning is ineffective. The traditional model of schooling ultimately prepares students for the industrial model of the past. If we want our students to become successful citizens in a global society\, we must dramatically shift to a more personal approach. This recorded edWebinar will be especially beneficial for early career and new school principals\, but all school principals and district school leaders are welcomed to attend to learn how to be a part of the solution. \n\nAbout the Presenters\nTom Murray serves as the director of innovation for Future Ready Schools\, a project of the Alliance for Excellent Education\, located in Washington\, DC. A former school principal and teacher\, Murray is passionate about proper digital learning implementation and personalized professional learning. In 2015\, Murray co-authored and released Leading Professional Learning: Tools to Connect and Empower Teachers (Corwin\, 2015). In addition to his role at Future Ready\, he serves as a thought leader and school district consultant for digital learning implementation and transformation. Murray’s experiences in K–12 digital leadership\, which include implementing a 1:1 program\, BYOD\, blended learning\, and a K–12 cyber school where he served as the director of technology and cyber education for the Quakertown Community School District in Bucks County\, Pennsylvania\, have been recognized nationally. \nMurray was the recipient of the Blended Schools Network Leadership Award\, named one of the top 16 forward thinking EdTech leaders in the country\, one of the top 100 influential voices in education\, has been featured in Tech & Learning Magazine’s Leadership Profile and THE Journal\, and has appeared on various television shows. Murray’s cyber- and blended-learning programs have been highlighted by Forbes.com\, THE Journal\, District Administration Magazine\, Project RED\, Tech & Learning Magazine\, the Innosight Institute\, and iNACOL\, among others\, and on Digital Learning Day in both 2013 and 2014. He works alongside the United States Congress\, the US Senate\, the White House\, the US Department of Education and state departments of education\, corporations\, and school districts throughout the country to implement student-centered\, personalized learning while helping to lead Future Ready Schools and Digital Learning Day. Murray was named the 2017 Education Thought Leader of the Year\, one of 20 to Watch by NSBA in 2016\, one of the top 20 thought leaders in education\, and was named the Education Policy Person of the Year by the Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2015. \nEric Sheninger is a senior fellow and thought leader on digital leadership with the International Center for Leadership in Education (ICLE). Prior to this he was the award-winning principal at New Milford High School\, NJ. Under his leadership his school became a globally-recognized model for innovative practices. Eric oversaw the successful implementation of several sustainable change initiatives that radically transformed the learning culture at his school while increasing achievement. His work focuses on leading and learning in the digital age as a model for moving schools and districts forward. This has led to the formation of the Pillars of Digital Leadership\, a framework for all educators to initiate sustainable change to transform school cultures. As a result\, Eric has emerged as an innovative leader\, best selling author\, and sought-after speaker.

SUMMARY:The Power of Music: Create a Positive and Focused Learning Environment through Music
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Alex Farkas\, M.A.T.\, In-School Services Curriculum Mentor\, Music Together Worldwide\nSponsored by Music Together \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 Music in Early Learning community and go to the edWebinar Archives folder to take the CE quiz.. \nMusic can be an incredible and enjoyable tool to use with children of all ages. However\, many early childhood professionals don’t realize that the means to do this are very accessible for any educator regardless of music “talent” or experience. In this edWebinar\, Alexandra Farkas\, Music Together In-School Services Mentor\, explores how simple music activities can support children’s focus\, approaches toward learning\, transitions\, classroom management\, and the daily routine in early learning settings. Learn how easy it is to create a musically rich environment that promotes a positive learning atmosphere\, engages children of all ages\, enhances the classroom environment\, and is enjoyable for both children and adults. This recorded edWebinar will benefit educators working with toddlers\, preschoolers\, and kindergarteners. \nAbout the Presenter \nAlexandra Farkas\, M.A.T.\, has many years of experience as an early childhood music and movement specialist\, and holds a New Jersey State Teacher certification for K-12 Music. Alex has served as the general music teacher at a K-8 school and as a private voice teacher. She is currently a Music Together In School teaching mentor\, as well as a teacher of Music Together in both school settings and family classes. Alex received her Bachelor of Music in Music Education and her Master of Arts in Teaching from Westminster Choir College of Rider University.

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.
