Get a CE Certificate for this edWebinar Learn more \nFrom the looks of it\, too much has already been said about teacher survival\, as if that was our goal—to survive classroom teaching while following the ever-growing list of mandates and budgeting for essentials like Starbucks and dry erase markers. “Oh\, no thanks\, I’m going to pass on the thriving thing\, prefer merely surviving here\,” says no honest person. How do we transition from surviving to thriving—and stay there—in education? The answer might be in doing something really scary like becoming a leader. But\, is it really scary? Not if you decide to do what matters to you. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to elementary through high school teachers\, as well as school and district leaders. \n \nAbout the Presenter \nFawn Nguyen has been a classroom teacher since 1990. She is currently a math coach in Rio School District. She was the 2014 Ventura County Teacher of the Year. In 2009\, she was awarded the Math Teacher Hero from Raytheon.

SUMMARY:Education as Negotiation: The Case of Teaching Basic Probability
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Dor Abrahamson\, Professor\, Learning Sciences & Human Development\, Graduate School of Education\, University of California\, Berkeley \nSponsored by Matific \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. \nWhen we teach\, should we be teaching “at” students? Instead\, could we think of teaching as a dialogue “with” students? What might that look like? Why might we care what students bring to the table? What if students get things wrong? Shouldn’t we just show them what’s right? \nView this edWebinar with Dr. Dor Abrahamson to hear why education might be thought of as a negotiation between students’ informal intuitions and teachers’ formal procedures. The principle here is that students’ informal intuitions aren’t going away—if we want students to deeply understand new ideas\, we need to work with\, rather than against\, their intuitions\, even if these appear fundamentally wrong. Instead\, we need to find under what conditions those intuitions would be correct\, and we should create conditions where we can have a meaningful conversation about why we each see things the way we do. After all\, if all students are getting it wrong in the same way\, perhaps there’s something about the way evolution has shaped us that makes that way of seeing the world valuable for survival. \nTo bring this idea home\, Dr. Abrahamson talks through some work he has done around simple introductory probability. We see why students “get it wrong\,” how we might make that “right\,” and how this could lead to deep learning. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to teachers and school and district leaders of the kindergarten through middle school levels. \n \nAbout the Presenter \nDr. Dor Abrahamson received his master’s in cognitive psychology from Tel Aviv University in Israel and his Ph.D. in the learning sciences from Northwestern University in the United States. Since 2005\, Dr. Abrahamson has served as a member of faculty in the Graduate School of Education at the University of California\, Berkeley\, where he established the Embodied Design Research Laboratory. Dr. Abrahamson is a design-based researcher who invents pedagogical technologies for teaching and learning mathematics. He analyzes data gathered in the course of evaluating these products to develop theoretical models of cognitive and social process leading to insight and fluency. Dr. Abrahamson is particularly interested in relations between learning to move in new ways and learning mathematics concepts. His research\, which draws on embodied cognition\, dynamic systems theory\, and sociocultural theory\, has been funded by federal agencies and private foundations. Otherwise\, Dr. Abrahamson enjoys playing the cello\, hiking\, biking\, reading\, and spending time with his family and pets. \n \nClosed captioning will be added to the recording within 2 weeks of the live presentation. \nJoin the Inspire Learning & Engagement 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 \nMatific is a world leading\, pedagogically rigorous\, hybrid learning platform for K-6 math.

Get a CE Certificate for this edWebinar Learn more. \nTo thrive within grade 4–12 coursework\, multilingual learners require intentional and systematic language development alongside the academic demands of core content areas. Contemporary U.S. college-readiness standards and English language development standards (e.g.\, WIDA\, ELPAC\, AZELLA) alike emphasize a number of high-leverage competencies. The ability to inform and explain with factual information counts amongst the most vital for achievement in standards-aligned coursework. However\, accurately summarizing\, comparing\, or conveying why things happen places exceptional language and literacy demands on a young language scholar with basic to intermediate English proficiency. \nIn this edWebinar\, drawing on extensive experience as an English language development practitioner and instructional coach\, Dr. Kate Kinsella offers research-informed and classroom-tested routines and resources to support multilingual learners in interpreting\, discussing\, and constructing informative texts. Through detailed explanation\, expert modeling\, and video\, she highlights some priority language functions and language features. Classroom teachers and teacher educators leave with practical directions and tools for lesson development and professional learning. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to teachers and school and district leaders of the elementary through high school levels. \n \nAbout the Presenter \nKate Kinsella\, Ed.D. is an emeritus teacher educator at San Francisco State University and a highly sought-after speaker and consultant to school districts within and outside of the U.S. Her 30-year career focus has been equipping youths from diverse linguistic and cultural heritages with the academic communication\, reading\, and writing skills to be truly college ready.

SUMMARY:Rethinking Phonological Awareness Instruction: Focusing on What Matters
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Susan Brady\, Ph.D.\, Emeritus Faculty\, University of Rhode Island\nModerated by Terrie Noland\, Ph.D.\, CALP\, Vice President\, Educator Initiatives\, Learning Ally \nSponsored by Learning Ally \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. \nThe importance of phoneme awareness for acquiring the alphabetic principle and for learning to read has been documented since the 1970s\, gaining broad recognition when the National Reading Panel Report was published in 2000. Since then\, instruction to foster phonological awareness has become routinely recommended for the early grades. However\, the widespread practice in schools is to target awareness of larger phonological structures such as words\, rhymes\, syllables and onset-rimes before focusing on phonemes\, with attention to the phoneme not occurring until well into the kindergarten year or first grade. \nIn this edWebinar\, Dr. Susan Brady discusses studies that raise questions regarding whether following this “continuum” is necessary and/or beneficial for students. In addition\, the session covers the developmental sequence of phoneme awareness per se\, the importance of conducting phoneme-awareness activities with letters\, and the benefits of this approach for all students. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to teachers\, librarians\, and school and district leaders of the kindergarten through elementary levels.  \n \nAbout the Presenter \nDr. Susan Brady received her Ph.D. in cognitive psychology at the University of Connecticut and presently is an emerita professor of psychology at the University of Rhode Island. In prior years\, she held positions at the University of Sussex\, St. Andrews University\, and Haskins Laboratories. Concentrating on topics in the field of literacy\, her research interests are in language factors in reading development and the nature of language weaknesses for struggling readers. In addition\, she is passionate about the importance of translating the implications of the larger body of reading research for practice in order to strengthen teacher preparation and classroom practices. \n \nAbout the Moderator \nListen. Learn. Teach. It’s that simple. Terrie Noland uses this philosophy as an innovator and a motivator\, and it’s evident as she leads\, coaches and mentors thousands of K-12 educators about the science of reading each year. She has a unique perspective on the need to unify all stakeholders around a vision for education to smash the reading divide for the millions of struggling readers. Her daily mission is to add value to educators to help influence transformational changes in school districts across the country by addressing the needs of marginalized students. Terrie seeks to share her expertise and passion to encourage and to illuminate a path towards success and measurable outcomes. \nIf you looked at Terrie’s resume\, you would be confused. Her undergraduate and graduate degree work placed her in the field of criminal justice. However\, it was through continuous listening and learning that led her on a journey in education starting out in preschool teaching and administration\, then becoming a Certified Academic Language Practitioner (CALP) and earning a Ph.D. in literacy and educational leadership from St. John’s University. Terrie is also a John Maxwell certified speaker and coach. \nAs Vice President of Educator Initiatives at Learning Ally\, Terrie works to ignite enthusiasm and excitement by building champion educators and administrators on creating cultures of literacy and learning. \n \nClosed captioning will be added to the recording within 2 weeks of the live presentation.  \nJoin the Empowering Struggling Readers 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\nLearning Ally is a leading education solutions organization committed to transforming the lives of struggling learners.
