The New Art and Science of Teaching is a well-researched instructional framework that comprehensively addresses the most alterable effect on student achievement—quality instruction. One of the major emphases in The New Art and Science of Teaching is a focus on student outcomes obtained by teachers’ instructional actions. The premise is that teachers who implement instructional strategies will\, in turn\, help students use mental processes that successively enhance their learning. In other words\, it’s not enough to merely use an instructional strategy\, but more important to ensure it has the desired learning effect for students. \nIn this edWebinar\, Dr. Tina H. Boogren introduces the New Art and Science of Teaching model and explain how educators can use the strategies associated with it to improve their practice at all levels of experience and expertise. Viewers can expect to: \n\nUnderstand the importance of a common language of instruction and a framework for effective teaching\nLearn the instructional framework components\, which include: Three categories\, 10 design areas\, and 43 elements\nDiscover instructional strategies that increase your effectiveness during in-person\, online\, or hybrid instruction\n\nThe New Art and Science of Teaching Model is built on over 20 years of Dr. Robert J. Marzano’s work synthesizing the research and theory on effective teaching. You won’t want to miss this informative and engaging introduction to the model! \nThis recorded edWebinar will be of interest to K-12 teachers and school and district leaders. \n \nAbout the Presenter \nTina H.

SUMMARY:Vocabulary Processes and Reading Comprehension: A Dynamic Assemblage of Concepts
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Shane Templeton\, Ph.D.\, Foundation Professor Emeritus of Literacy Studies\, University of Nevada\, Reno\nModerated by Beth Lawrence\, MA\, CCC-SLP\, CEO\, InferCabulary Inc. \nSponsored by InferCabulary \nWatch the Recording\nClosed captioning will be added to the recording within 2 weeks of the live presentation. Get a CE Certificate for this edWebinar Learn more \nConceptual knowledge and development are fluid\, flexible\, and dynamic. This recorded edWebinar demonstrates how teachers may nurture and develop vocabulary knowledge and growth in the context of developing comprehension. The presentation addresses: \n\nHow teachers can realistically apply the most effective research-driven practices for teaching word-specific and generative vocabulary\nHow students’ developing-vocabulary knowledge interphases with ongoing comprehension and understanding during the actual process of reading\n\nWord-specific learning focuses on concepts that are critical to understanding a topic or reading selection. Generative learning focuses on an understanding of morphological processes that generate most of the words in the English language. Extensive research over the last two decades has provided important insight into the nature and course of learning both word-specific and generative vocabulary\, and this edWebinar provides “best practice” examples of instruction for primary\, intermediate\, and middle school. We address how this instruction\, which includes the significant role of background knowledge\, supports and interacts with comprehension across disciplinary areas. \nResources are provided that offer supportive and robust content and instructional “how-tos.” This recorded presentation will be of keen interest to teachers\, those who work with teachers\, and those who are responsible for making decisions about instructional resources for schools and districts.  \n \nAbout the Presenter \nDr. Shane Templeton\, co-author of Words Their Way\, is Foundation Professor Emeritus of Literacy Studies at the University of Nevada\, Reno\, and a former classroom teacher at the primary and secondary levels.
