The rapid acceleration of the use of technology during the pandemic brought many new technology opportunities to K-12 education. However\, along with progress came serious challenges. One of the most alarming trends has been the rise in cyberattacks on school district networks. The result is not only disruptions in teaching and learning and school operations\, but also damaging exposure of school personnel data and student data. \nToday\, more than ever\, school district leaders must know how to take appropriate actions to be sufficiently aggressive in getting ahead of cybersecurity threats and also know how to respond when their school network systems are impacted by a cyberattack. \nIn this recorded edWebinar\, three school district superintendents share their knowledge and experiences in leading cybersecurity awareness in their school systems. Strategies for preventing cyberattacks and recommendations for responding effectively when they do occur are reviewed. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of particular value to superintendents\, K-12 school and district leaders\, and aspiring school leaders. \n  \nAbout the Presenters \nMatthew Miller is Superintendent of Lakota Local Schools.

Get a CE Certificate for this edWebinar Learn more \nResearchers estimate that 5–15% of students struggle with dyslexia. As universal screening and dyslexia screening legislation are passed at the state level\, educators are tasked with implementing new literacy initiatives to identify and support their at-risk students\, including assessing for phonological awareness\, the alphabetic principle\, phonics\, reading fluency\, reading accuracy\, reading comprehension\, rapid naming\, encoding\, and in some cases vocabulary. In a year of instructional loss caused by the COVID-19 pandemic\, these at-risk students have been impacted in the classroom even more. \nIt raises the question\, what does dyslexia screening legislation mean for educators around the country?

They see the connection between music and movement and the active nature of the child\, as well as how music can effectively be used to meet the cognitive\, emotional\, social and physical needs of young children. \nThe goal of the session is to reaffirm the use of music in the classroom by showing how\, when combined with movement\, it can be a vital and powerful tool in the education of children. To illustrate this\, Stephen Fite breaks music down into three essential elements—Rhythm\, Repetition\, and Melody—and discusses how each part affects us individually. When music and movement are combined\, children are more likely to participate\, but more importantly\, will retain more information for a longer period of time. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to anyone involved in early childhood education.  \n \nAbout the Presenter \nAs long as Stephen Fite can remember\, he has always loved music. At the young age of five\, he had big dreams of being the fifth Beatle. That whole British band thing never panned out\, but he has found something even better. He has realized his dream of playing before crowds of screaming fans—the very young variety. The bonus is that through his play he is able to touch their lives by aiding in their education. He is an award-winning musician/writer whose albums have received 18 nationally recognized honors. \nStephen has been giving workshops and keynotes since 1986 and has presented keynotes at the following conferences: Kindergarten Teachers of Texas\, Oklahoma Early Childhood Association\, DLM Summer Institute\, Southern Early Childhood Association\, Missouri AEYC\, Illinois PreK – Kindergarten Conference\, Kaleidoscope Conference\, and many more. \n \nClosed captioning will be added to the recording within 2 weeks of the live presentation. \nJoin the Early Childhood Learning Solutions community to network with educators\, participate in online discussions\, receive invitations to upcoming edWebinars\, and view recordings of previous programs to earn CE certificates. \n\n \nFrog Street is dedicated to continually improving programs and products based on current research and input from early childhood classroom educators and caregivers.
