Research and clinical observations demonstrate that individuals with autism often benefit from the use of visual supports. The Visual Immersion System™ (VIS™)\, created by Dr. Howard Shane and his colleagues from Boston Children’s Hospital\, establishes a robust foundation to address communication deficits. It capitalizes on the enhanced visual processing skills of individuals with autism\, as well as their inherent interest in multimedia. It incorporates visual supports in a meaningful way that help individuals with autism learn to initiate and generate communication\, as opposed to merely reciting scripted language. \nWatch Dr. Shane in this edWebinar to learn about the Visual Immersion System. He also discusses how to enhance communication and expand language by repurposing consumer products/technology to provide Just In Time Communication (JITs). Case examples and resources are presented. Learn: \n\nAn overview of the Visual Immersion System (VIS)\n\nFramework (visual instructional mode\, visual organizational mode\, visual expressive mode)\nScene cues – how can they help?\nGrid displays & scene displays – what’s the difference?\nTeaching language and reducing scripting – going beyond PECS\n\n\nConcepts of Just in Time Communication (JITs)\n\nTips and tools to quickly create and provide communication supports for use in the moment (just in time)\nRepurposing consumer products/technology to provide Just in Time Communication\nQR Codes\nApple Watch\nAmazon Echo\n\n\n\nThis recorded edWebinar will benefit educators\, speech language pathologists\, behavior specialists\, OT\, PT\, music\, art\, and recreation therapists\, and administrators. \n\nAbout the Presenter \nDr. Howard C.

As districts increase computing capacity\, there is an assumption that faculty will adapt. Often\, “adapting” means that what teachers used to do analog\, they now do digitally\, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they are reimagining learning for the new landscape. In this session\, facilitators share effective and replicable workshop ideas that will help faculty adapt their teaching for the 1:1 environment. \n \n  \nMichelle Luhtala is the Library Department Chair at New Canaan High School in Connecticut and was one of five school librarians named as a “Mover and Shaker” by Library Journal in 2015.

SUMMARY:Discovery Learning for Infants and Toddlers: Treasure Basket Explorations
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Laura Wilhelm\, Ed.D.\, Associate Professor\, Early Childhood Education\, Oklahoma City University\nSponsored by Gryphon House \nWatch the Recording\nIf you attend 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 Early Learning Book Chats community and go to the edWebinar Archives folder to take the CE quiz. \nPeople who work with older children may view infants and toddlers in terms of what they cannot do yet. Treasure baskets are a supplement to regularly planned curriculum activities that showcase the amazing capabilities of children between 6 and 36 months. These baskets employ heuristic learning which presents opportunities for the child to discover through five (and more) senses. “Heuristic\,” a new term for many of us\, comes from the same root as “eureka\,” which emphasizes discovery learning. These activities highlight how much longer very young children will attend to something when they are intrigued by it. \nIn this edWebinar\, Dr. Laura Wilhelm shares: \n\nHow and why to design treasure baskets with everyday household and natural objects at little or no cost\nWhy plastic mass-manufactured toys are less appealing with their similar temperature and textures\, bright colors\, and sometimes overpowering lights and sounds\nTeachers’ ideas about the best ways to incorporate heuristic activities within existing curriculum for 6- to 36-month-old children\n\nChildcare providers\, directors\, home visitors\, and mentors who work with infants and toddlers will benefit from this edWebinar. Whether you are a new or veteran childcare provider\, you will walk away from this session ready to become an expert at an individual child’s interests and abilities! \n\nAbout the Presenter \nDr. Laura Wilhelm is an associate professor at Oklahoma City University. She earned her Doctorate of Education at Oklahoma State University.

SUMMARY:Emotional Intelligence in ELA and Social Studies: Integrating Social-Emotional Learning into the Curriculum in Ways that Satisfy State Standards
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Jonathan C. Erwin\, M.A.\, Independent Educational Consultant\, Senior Faculty Member of the William Glasser Institute\, and Instructor for the Bureau of Education and Research\nSponsored by Free Spirit Publishing \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 Social-Emotional Learning\, Positive Behavior\, and Student Achievement community and go to the edWebinar Archives folder to take the CE quiz. \nNearly every educator can think of a student who has the intellectual ability to succeed in school but fails or falls behind because of a lack of social-emotional skills. These students may not be able to focus\, listen\, control impulses\, self-motivate\, or self-regulate\, which naturally prevents them from learning and performing to their full potential. However\, students become totally engaged when they are learning about their favorite subject—themselves. And one of the greatest benefits of integrating social-emotional learning (SEL) with ELA and social studies is that it is student-centered. \nIn this edWebinar\, Jonathan Erwin\, M.A.\, provides a research-based rationale for teaching SEL\, shares lessons that teach specific SEL skills\, and shows how you can use SEL content to satisfy state standards. Leverage Erwin’s 30-plus years in education to learn how SEL can be an excellent vehicle for satisfying the requirements of your state’s ELA standards in addition to improving students’ attitudes and behaviors. This webinar will benefit ELA and social studies teachers grades 3-12\, counselors\, social workers\, and youth empowerment leaders. \nAbout the Presenter \nJonathan C. Erwin\, M.A.\, has been a middle and high school English teacher\, professional development specialist\, college professor\, and director of a federally funded character education program. He currently is an independent educational consultant\, a senior faculty member of the William Glasser Institute\, and an instructor for the Bureau of Education and Research. Jon’s work focuses on providing research-based approaches to teaching\, managing\, counseling\, and training that appeal to intrinsic motivation and help children and adults develop physically\, intellectually\, emotionally\, and socially. \nHis most recent work involves creating a school and classroom culture based on emotional and physical safety\, positive and trusting relationships\, student-centered instruction\, and social-emotional learning (including mindset and grit). Jon is the author of The Classroom of Choice (ASCD\, 2004)\, Inspiring the Best in Students (ASCD\, 2010)\, and The School Climate Solution (Free Spirit Publishing\, 2016).

A knowledge of rich vocabulary words supports students’ ability to comprehend when reading\, while in turn\, reading comprehension reinforces their attention to language as they deepen their understanding of new texts. \nIn other words\, creating a classroom full of literacy heroes requires instruction that combines robust vocabulary with lessons in comprehension. Watch celebrated authors and distinguished vocabulary experts Dr. Isabel Beck and Dr. Margaret McKeown as they detail this important relationship between vocabulary and comprehension and the effect each has on literacy achievement\, including: \n\nWhat effective vocabulary instruction looks like\nWhat “Tier 2” words are and why they have a higher impact on both vocabulary and comprehension\nWhat the “lexical bar” is and how you can help all students cross it\nThe key differences between “questions” and “queries”\nHow to move students from surface understanding of a text (the “gist”) to a deeper understanding of what they’ve read (the “grist”)\nAnd much more!\n\nK-5 classroom teachers\, reading specialists\, literacy coaches\, administrators\, and librarians as well as K-12 district-level elementary curriculum and instruction directors/coordinators\, elementary reading directors/coordinators\, and elementary remedial reading directors/coordinators are invited to watch this recorded session. \n  \n \nAbout the Presenters \nDr. Isabel Beck and Dr. Margaret McKeown are long-time colleagues at the University of Pittsburgh.

At one time\, digital storytelling was seen mostly as montages of images and videos set to music and narration. Although today’s classroom and school library applications still include this form\, students\, teachers\, and school librarians can now use an array of approaches to tell digital stories\, including tweets\, mini-videos\, single-image stories\, and “Draw My Life” whiteboard narratives. Through storytelling contexts from science content to poetry and self-reflection\, digital storytelling fosters creativity\, collaboration\, digital literacy\, and critical thinking. This form of content creation aligns with a range of cross-curricular learning objectives and school library standards. \nIn this edWebinar\, Dr. Rebecca J. Morris shares apps and lesson ideas for integrating digital storytelling into curriculum\, with a focus on science topics. Assessment of student learning and practical strategies for facilitating digital storytelling will also be discussed. \nLibrarians and educators are invited to watch this recorded session to learn how to integrate science with storytelling. \nAbout the Presenter \nRebecca J.

SUMMARY:Why the ABC’s Aren’t as Easy as 1-2-3 for Preschoolers
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Laura L. Bailet\, Ph.D.\, Nemours Children’s Health System\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. \nFor preschoolers\, learning the ABC’s requires a new way of thinking. They need to learn how to process letters and letter sounds differently and very carefully. Sometimes we use an uppercase letter\, and sometimes a lowercase letter. Letter orientation is critical too. If we flip a “b” one way\, it becomes “d”; if we flip it another way\, it becomes “p” or “q.” This isn’t true for objects that young children play with. Many letters have more than one sound\, further complicating the learning process. \nIn this webinar\, Dr. Laura L. Bailet explores the key reasons that learning the ABC’s can be challenging both for children AND their teachers. Learn how to: \n• Review the ABC challenges\n• Describe developmentally-appropriate strategies to increase ABC knowledge\n• Become familiar with the key benchmarks for this important milestone \nLearn current best practices for enhancing alphabet knowledge in young children and gain new ideas and strategies for your classroom. This webinar is designed for preschool and kindergarten educators\, administrators\, and librarians as well as ESE professionals. \n\nAbout the Presenter \nLaura L. Bailet\, Ph.D.\, is a licensed school psychologist and an assistant professor at the College of Medicine at the Mayo Clinic. She has expertise on a wide range of learning problems\, including dyslexia and autism. Dr. Bailet established and directed the Neurocognitive Assessment Program within the Division of Neurology at Nemours Children’s Clinic\, Jacksonville\, FL for 18 years before creating the Nemours BrightStart! initiative.

SUMMARY:Coaching Educators Builds Creative Capacity
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Cheri Sterman\, Crayola Education Director; Kelly Schofield\, Principal of Hanawalt Elementary School\, Des Moines\, IA; and Sarah Dougherty\, Visual Arts Curriculum Coordinator and Turnaround Arts Director\, Des Moines\, IA\nSponsored by Crayola \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 Champion Creativity community and go to the Webinar Archives folder to take the CE quiz.  \nCoaching educators builds their confidence and creative capacity. Coaching occurs in all sorts of situations from informal hallway chats and social gatherings to more formal PD or PLC group meetings and 1:1 in-depth conversations. Regardless of the venue\, effective coaching is intentional listening. Coaches don’t solve other people’s problems; they help educators discover new approaches and take informed risks that lead to promising practices. Adult learners have much in common with young learners—the need for relevance\, engagement\, application\, and interaction. Sitting and listening to lectures is not an effective teaching approach for helping children learn. That presenter-driven approach is equally boring for adults. \nIn this webinar\, hear insights from Cheri Sterman\, Crayola Education Director; Kelly Schofield\, Principal of Hanawalt Elementary School\, Des Moines\, IA; and Sarah Dougherty\, Visual Arts Curriculum Coordinator and Turnaround Arts Director\, Des Moines\, IA on how to engage adult learners\, and to “make their thinking visible” throughout the conversation as the presenters model a more interactive learning experience. This recorded webinar will benefit K-8 classroom teachers\, art teachers\, literacy specialists\, librarians\, principals\, and early childhood educators and family engagement specialists. \nSpecial Invitation: As special recognition\, educators who post a piece of artwork or sketch from the “make your thinking visible” prompts shared during the webinar will receive a complimentary gift from Crayola. Fifty members of the Champion Creativity community who upload the art to the discussion forum\, “Coaching Educators Builds Creative Capacity” will receive a case of 12 packs of 5 ct. Crayola No Drip Paint Pens. The discussion forum is only accessible to members of the Champion Creativity community and the deadline to upload an example of art is May 17\, 2017. While we’d love to see art wherever you live\, shipping this gift is only applicable for members in the U.S. and Canada. \nAbout the Presenters\nCheri Sterman\, Director of Education for Crayola\, helps ignite educators’ creative confidence and establish creative collaborations within schools and communities. She leverages insights from having worked with educators across the country\, hearing their passion for innovative teaching strategies that awaken students’ voices. Her approach is to ask essential questions\, spark personal epiphanies through hands-on experiences that make thinking visible\, and provide reflective prompts. Cheri knows that the best solutions live within educators\, and so coaches them in planning their own next steps. Cheri uses an iterative process that helps educators create\, present\, respond\, and connect—making their voices visible. She authored the Art Builds 21st Century Learning series available on Crayola.com and articles in the annual Champion Creatively Alive Children: Principal magazine\, helping schools build creative capacity and engage families in this process.\nKelly Schofield is an education thought leader who has been recognized nationally for her expertise in transforming schools and coaching other educators.
