DESCRIPTION:Presented by Stephen Fite\, Children’s Artist and President\, Melody House Inc. \nSponsored by Frog Street \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 \nThis hands-on\, participatory edWebinar brings to teachers a new perspective on using music with children. 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.

Get a CE Certificate for this edWebinar Learn more \nHealthy social-emotional development in early childhood can have a profound impact on a child’s overall development and learning. In fact\, many early childhood experts see positive social and emotional skills as paramount for school readiness and later school and life success. With the interruption of the school year and less socialization opportunities\, there is valid concern among researchers\, educators\, and parents that the COVID-19 pandemic has had—and will continue to have—a negative impact on young children’s social and emotional development. \nMusic education curriculum components not only support music development but are naturally supportive tools for social and emotional learning in early childhood. Developmentally appropriate\, participatory\, group\, and dyad music and movement activities have special characteristics that can support young children as they develop socially and emotionally\, and also support social competence and reduce stress. \nIn this edWebinar\, Dr. Lili M. Levinowitz reviews the important dimensions of social and emotional development and share some early research on the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on young children’s social and emotional learning. She then demonstrates fun and accessible music activities that support a range of social and emotional skills\, such as cooperation\, prosocial skills\, and self-regulation\, which all contribute to social competence and positive group process in the preschool classroom. Attendees also gain strategies for extending the music making—and therefore the developmental benefits—to the home. \nAttendees leave this edWebinar with a deeper understanding of the ways in which active music making can naturally support children’s social and emotional learning during the preschool years\, as well as having experienced some new songs and music activities they can use right away in their work with children. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to preK-3 teachers.  \n \nAbout the Presenter \nLili M. Levinowitz\, Ph.D. is Professor Emeritus of Music Education at Rowan University. She is the co-author of the early childhood music and movement program\, Music Together\, and Director of Research for Music Together Worldwide. Dr. Levinowitz is considered a national authority on early childhood music. In addition to teaching very young children\, she presents at national and international music education and early childhood education conferences. She also presents professional development webinars to early childhood educators and the music education community.

As a response to the needs of educators to understand how to make their edtech more accessible to all students\, Educating All Learners Alliance (EALA)\, an organization dedicated to equity for complex learners\, was formed and stepped up to curate resources. Its free Tech Tool Library\, for example\, is designed for educators to understand how to turn on the accessibility features that already exist within the tools they are using in the classroom\, explore new accessible edtech products\, and help schools and families find better solutions to meet their learners’ unique needs. \nThis edWebinar features two EALA co-founding organizations\, Digital Promise and InnovateEDU\, as well as Newsela\, an edtech tool to promote inquiry-based learning with inclusive content\, to discuss the role we are asking tech to play\, why it is important to consider the whole child and their learner variability\, and how teachers can become part of the school or district’s edtech decision-making process. \nA Learner Variability Project national survey of American public school parents and teachers found that teachers more comfortable with edtech were significantly less likely to say the pandemic has worsened their ability to work with each student’s learner variability. Yet\, as our speakers address\, before developing a comfort with edtech is the need to understand the why within each student—their variability that can change over time and context. \nIn this edWebinar\, we discuss: \n\nHow equity\, accessibility\, and supporting the whole learner gives products more opportunities to address the needs of the full diversity of learners\nResources for teachers on how they can enable features that make tools they use more accessible\nAccess to clear and trustworthy information about edtech to ensure teachers can easily find tools that align with their priorities\nInternal school district decision-making processes for tech tool selection\n\nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to preK-12 teachers\, librarians\, school and district leaders\, ELL educators\, and those involved in the edtech community.  \n \nAbout the Presenters \nErin Mote is the executive director of InnovateEDU and co-founder of Brooklyn Laboratory Charter School (LAB).

Get a CE Certificate for this edWebinar Learn more \nSpatial visualization (SV) is the ability to think in 3D. Did you know that up to 60% of students in STEM programs have weak SV skills? This skills gap can lead to difficulty in engineering\, technology\, and science classes which require proficiency with 3D thinking. Thankfully\, studies have shown that SV skills are teachable and improve student outcomes in STEM fields. SV training is especially beneficial for women and other underrepresented populations that may have had less experience in playing with building toys as children and find themselves at a disadvantage when entering STEM fields. \nSketching 2D and 3D shapes is the recommended approach to improving SV skills. Sketching is also important for creativity\, project-based learning\, and teamwork. However\, few curricula include this training\, and many educators don’t know where to begin. \nIn this edWebinar\, viewers learn: \n\nBest practices for how to easily incorporate SV and sketching training into any STEM class\nHow student persistence can be measured and increased with sketching assignments\nHow teachers can improve their own SV skills without learning CAD\nHow the Spatial Vis software\, which is free for teachers\, teaches SV with engaging sketching assignments\, automatic grading\, and personalized feedback\n\nThis reocrded edWebinar is of interest to teachers\, librarians\, school and district leaders\, CTE directors\, and STEM coordinators and teachers at the middle school\, high school\, and higher education levels. \n \nAbout the Presenters \nLelli Van Den Einde\, Ph.D. is a teaching professor in structural engineering at the University of California San Diego and Co-founder and President of eGrove Education.

DESCRIPTION:Presented by Sara Delano Moore\, Ph.D.\, Vice President for Content and Research\, ORIGO Education \nSponsored by ORIGO Education \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 \nAs students return to a hopefully more typical school year\, learning is likely to be anything but typical. Student and teacher experiences over the past 18 months have varied greatly and classrooms are filled with students representing a wider range of learning needs than ever before. The challenge for teachers is to help each student move their mathematics learning forward. While it will take time for most students to return to typical “on-grade-level” expectations\, we must support students to move forward rather than picking up instruction where “regular school” left off in March 2020. Responding to this wide range of learners is part of the job in education; the pandemic has made this part of the work more prominent in many classrooms. \nIn this second edWebinar of a two-part series\, Sara Delano Moore\, Ph.D. shares tasks and strategies for continuing to emphasize the mathematical practice and process standards while teaching grade-appropriate content. More open-ended tasks provide opportunities for students to apply mathematics in a variety of settings and develop their skills around representing mathematical ideas and arguments. These tasks also provide contexts for the accelerated learning introduced in part one of the series. Join Sara to explore instructional strategies and tasks to develop the practices while emphasizing current content. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to teachers and school and district leaders at the elementary level. \nReturning to Rigorous Mathematics\, Part 1: Using Spaced Practice to Accelerate Learning \n \nAbout the Presenter \nSara Delano Moore\, Ph.D. serves as Vice President for Content and Research and Chair of the Mathematics Advisory Board at ORIGO Education.
