SUMMARY:Teaching Students How to Study Effectively for Tests: A Simple Method that Really Works
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Gretchen Wegner\, M.Ed\, Academic Life Coach\, Educational Consultant\, and Founder of the Anti-Boring Approach to Powerful Studying™\nSponsored by The Anti-Boring Approach to Powerful Studying™ \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 PD in Action community and go to the Webinar Archives folder to take the CE quiz. \nIn all areas of education\, we expect students to study for the tests we give them. Rarely\, however\, do schools spend significant effort teaching students how to study. Although many teachers do provide a strategy or two\, it remains an epidemic that if students study at all\, they do it in the most inefficient and ineffective (and boring!) way possible – by reviewing their textbook and/or their notes. In this webinar\, learn about a simple fix for this problem. \nAcademic Life Coach Gretchen Wegner shared the #1 study strategy that every educator should know (but most don’t) to transform his or her students’ ability to take charge of their own learning and prepare for tests self-sufficiently and with less stress. Gretchen will walk us through The Study Cycle\, a unique model that takes only ten minutes to teach to students from elementary through high school. You will walk away from this recorded session with: \n• A solid understanding of what is happening in the brain when students learn\n• A simple\, engaging demonstration for how to teach students to study better\n• Five easy ways to incorporate this effective study strategy into your classroom without interrupting your current curriculum \nThis session will benefit K-12 educators\, especially those working with middle school students and higher. All classroom teachers\, administrators\, learning specialists\, special ed coordinators\, tutors\, and coaches who want to support their students in becoming more efficient\, effective\, self-reliant learners are invited. Learn how to help your students feel less stressed\, and more prepared and capable while performing better on tests. \nAbout the Presenter \nGretchen Wegner is an academic life coach and educational consultant with over 20 years of experience teaching using holistic approaches to learning that balance of playfulness and rigor. Most recently\, she has become an internationally-recognized expert in how to build students’ executive function skills\, teaching teens a unique system for time management\, organization and studying called The Anti-Boring Approach to Powerful Studying™. Not only has Gretchen coached hundreds of students in middle school through grad school\, she now trains educators all over the world in her unique\, powerful\, and research-based system for transforming students into voracious\, organized learners through her signature courses The Art of Inspiring Students to Study Strategically and the Anti-Boring Approach™ Coach Training Program.

SUMMARY:Beyond Consequences: A New Look at Fairness and How to Reduce the Use of Discipline Techniques in the Classroom
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Nancy Bruski\, MA\, LCSW\, Early Childhood Consultant\, Wise Choice Guidance\nSponsored by Kaplan Early Learning \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 Classroom Management for Early Learning community and go to the Webinar Archives folder to take the CE quiz. \nTeachers often focus on the search for the perfect consequence to challenging behaviors in the classroom\, rather than on being strategic and empathic in engaging children’s cooperation. Young children don’t learn positive behavior through being sent away from play centers. Rather\, they learn from teachers’ coaching them and intervening in play situations to resolve conflicts. \nIn this webinar\, look at the concept of “fairness” in a new way that enables teachers to recognize that every child has an equal right to have his/her needs met\, but not all children’s needs are the same. This strategy frees teachers to make small exceptions and set a tone in the classroom for relaxed acceptance that we are all working on learning skills on different timeframes and do not all find the same things easy or hard. \nEarly Childhood Consultant Nancy Bruski provided a framework for creating compassionate classrooms in which teachers are free to meet individual needs while maintaining group cohesion and validating children’s feelings so that each child feels like a valued member of the classroom community. Specific strategies for accomplishing these goals will be provided during this live\, interactive event. \nThe session is designed for preschool and kindergarten educators. \nAbout the Presenter \nNancy Bruski is a clinical social worker with over 35 years of experience providing therapeutic services to young children and families\, as well as teacher training\, parent education\, and mental health consulting. Her passion is to help parents and teachers become more psychologically sensitive to children. Nancy enhances parents’ and teachers’ skills through providing a philosophy of teaching and raising children\, as well as providing specific intervention strategies that support the development of children’s social competence\, responsibility\, and self-esteem. She is a frequent presenter of workshops and consultations throughout the Chicago area and across the United States. Parents and teachers often express their appreciation for her detailed and specific strategies that they can take back to their homes and classrooms and begin implementing right away. She is the author of The Insightful Teacher: Reflective Strategies to Shape Your Early Childhood Classroom. Nancy has also worked in a variety of mental health settings as well as at a nationally accredited full-day preschool program\, and as a faculty member at two colleges in the Chicago area. \nJoin the Classroom Management for Early 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. \nWATCH THE WEBINAR RECORDING\n Kaplan Early Learning Company is a leading international provider of products and services that enhance children’s learning.

Teachers\, however\, don’t have to be masters of JavaScript or Ruby to give students the tools they need. Concepts like computational and design thinking\, or connecting to the language of code to solve problems and create content\, don’t have to be as complicated (or intimidating) as they sound. \nThis webinar focused on ways you can start incorporating these elements into your classes without having to attend a three-month coding boot camp first yourself. James Denby and Robin Ulster shared: \n\nAccessible tools\nA problem-solving approach\nStrategies to inspire and challenge students (and yourself) to approach problems like coders\n\nThis webinar will benefit educators and administrators. \nAbout the Presenters \nJames Denby is a Curriculum and course designer for IdeaDrivenEducation and Eduro Learning. He is also a Common Sense Ambassador. James has had the opportunity to work with teachers and students in North and South America\, Europe\, and Asia.

If you view the recording and would like a CE certificate\, join the Instructional Strategies for Reading Improvement K-8 community and go to the Webinar Archives folder to take the CE quiz.  \nResearchers have long known that phonemic awareness is highly correlated with individual differences in childrens’ word-reading skills. Training students in phonemic awareness skills and letter-sound knowledge is recommended in both the United States (NRP\, 2000) and the United Kingdom (Rose\, 2006). But why do some students struggle so much when learning their sounds? How can teachers help their students remember their sounds? Does the research recommend a particular method for teaching these foundational reading skills? \nIn this webinar Eyal Rav-Noy and Tzippy Rav-Noy\, Co-Founders of Capit Learning\, discussed the National Reading Panel Report\, an evidence-based assessment of the scientific research literature on reading and its implications for reading instruction. They shared three tools the report recommends for early readers that often are overlooked by many teachers\, researchers\, and curriculum developers. Learn about these research-based tools that will increase your young students’ phonemic awareness skills and letter-sound knowledge. Learn how to easily integrate the tools into your existing lesson plans and classroom. \nThis webinar is designed for Pre-K through grade one teachers\, transitional kindergarten teachers\, reading specialists\, and ELA coordinators. School librarians and special education teachers also will benefit from this recorded session. \nAbout the Presenters \n\n \n\nEyal and Tzippy Rav-Noy\, Co-Founders of Capit Learning\, have taught thousands of students—both children and adults—to read both English and Hebrew\, for over 18 years.\nThey went on to create their own reading programs which are implemented in schools across the country.

Today\, more students are choosing to travel and study internationally to encounter new cultural experiences first-hand. It is essential that we teach them how to effectively communicate with their peers in different countries and from different cultures. \nIn this recorded webinar\, learn from two students who engaged with the free Generation Global program during their high school years\, and have continued to stay involved with the program into their post-secondary education as student moderators. Scott Chua is native to the Philippines and currently attends college in Singapore and Hailey Lister is a college student in Los Angeles. Scott and Hailey shared how their Generation Global experiences have made them more effective in global communication\, understanding and embracing differences\, and navigating cultural diversity in real-world situations. They highlighted their most memorable and impactful experiences from video-conferencing and chatting with students virtually\, and the lasting impact the global experience has had on their lives. They also shared personal stories on how dialogue\, understanding\, and connecting with peers across the globe has helped them become better global citizens\, more active listeners\, and improved critical thinkers. \nWatch to learn: \n\nHow cultural dialogue can impact your students far beyond high school\nHow to integrate dialogue and understanding into your existing lessons to elevate your students’ critical thinking and active listening skills\nHow dialogue can break down cultural barriers and personal stereotypes to help your students see that their peers living across the world face similar challenges\, have similar interests\, and that we aren’t so different after all.\n\nNot only will these dialogue skills better prepare your students for work and life beyond school\, but they will allow them to successfully navigate the difficult conversations and differences they will encounter when interacting with students of a different culture\, both domestically and abroad.
