Too many students\, especially in K-2\, will not achieve grade-level goals this school year unless they make rapid gains over the spring and summer months. \nThis edWebinar explores how schools and districts can utilize reading science and cognitive science to help their K-2 students make rapid and lasting literacy gains by focusing on decoding\, encoding\, and other critical phonemic awareness and phonics skills. This session challenges the status quo by overturning many false assumptions about how kids learn to read. \nWe accomplish this end by putting educators in their students’ shoes and making them feel what it’s like to learn to read for the first time (let’s be honest\, we all forgot how we learned to read!). This unique educational experience paves the way for a new\, science-backed approach to literacy\, replete with practical classroom applications\, focusing on equity. Viewers gain free access to practical tools to help their students make rapid and far-reaching gains this school year. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to school leaders\, district leaders\, and curriculum directors of the K-2 grades. \n \nAbout the Presenter \nEyal Rav-Noy spent 25 years teaching various subjects to adults of all ages in his adult education center. His most fulfilling and popular course was teaching adult students to read. Over time\, Eyal and his wife\, Tzippy\, developed a unique approach to literacy instruction. After poring over the research on language development and reading science\, Eyal and Tzippy created a new phonics solution\, CAPIT Reading. Eyal lives in Los Angeles with his wife\, five children\, and their dog\, Luna\, and enjoys running all over Los Angeles as he prepares for the next marathon. \n \nAbout the Moderator \nJeanette Russell has a 30-year career in education.

Online learning was the best bad option when schools had to weather shutdowns over the past couple of years. Educators know that face-to-face instruction is optimal for most learners most of the time. But one of the bright spots to come out of our recent experience is a better understanding of where virtual instruction does work well. Many educators are now thinking about where these hard-won lessons can be applied in a targeted way. \nThis edWebinar provides educators with ideas and strategies from front-line practitioners on how online learning is making a difference in very different environments. This shift is a global phenomenon\, so our two United States-based educators are joined by an expert from the United Kingdom. \nThe session covers how three different organizations are using online learning\, and a lively discussion fueled by audience questions dives deeper into the topic. Viewers have a broader perspective on where online approaches can improve student outcomes. They are also provided with a white paper that reviews the funding sources for online learning recovery under ESSER\, ESSA\, and state initiatives. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 teachers\, tutors\, school and district leaders\, and education technology leaders. \n\nAbout the Presenters \nTim Sun is a math and physics teacher at Northern Academy of the Arts in Middletown\, New York.

DESCRIPTION:Presented by Glenn Collins\, Global VP of Sales and Marketing\, Veative; and Diana Lang\, Assistive Technology Lead\, Halton District School Board (Ontario\, Canada) \nSponsored by Veative Labs \nWatch the Recording\nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nVirtual reality (VR) provides many benefits to learners\, such as immediate engagement\, enhanced motivation\, and hands-on experience without risks. Students with special education needs\, such as students who have an ADHD diagnosis\, autism\, or learning disability\, can receive the extra help and practice they need through self-paced lessons in a VR format that is engaging and motivational. For many students with special education needs\, the ability to focus is a struggle along with memory retention. The use of VR software can significantly help students address their lagging skills and build their confidence and self-esteem. \nWatch this edWebinar to learn how VR can help students with special education needs develop knowledge\, skills\, and attitudes in ways that can be otherwise challenging. We discuss how VR affords a truly personal experience for students and what that means for students with diverse needs and learning styles that arise from their disabilities. Find out how differentiated learning in a regular education classroom is made easy by utilizing VR. \nViewers also learn how to access lessons on any Chromebook\, laptop\, MacBook\, or iPad through “WebXR\,” without needing a VR headset. Through immersive VR technology\, software and hardware users can immerse themselves into a virtual experience or location thereby providing a more impactful lasting memory of that experience. In a VR setting\, students can interact with what they see as if they were there. The non-judgmental nature of the VR experience allows students to engage in experiences as often as needed to obtain mastery at their own pace and build confidence. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to teachers\, education technology leaders\, and school and district leaders of the middle and high school grades. \n\nAbout the Presenters \nGlenn Collins has been working with educators to improve learning outcomes through the utilization of technology for almost 40 years.

SUMMARY:How to Stop the "I'm Just a Teacher" Mantra That Fuels Burnout
DESCRIPTION:​Presented by ​Terrie Noland\, Ph.D.\, CALP​\, Vice President\, Educator Initiatives​\, Learning Ally\nModerated by Elizabeth Zwerg\, Community Manager\, Learning Ally \nSponsored by Learning Ally \nWatch the Recording\nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \n“Have you said these words? It’s confession time: I’ve said it many times myself\, ‘I’m just a teacher.’ Unfortunately\, it took me over 20 years to realize my worth not only in the classroom but also as an administrator. I wish I had understood my value despite what society said\, despite the culture I was in\, and despite how I felt about my role as an educator and administrator at the time.” – Terrie Noland \nIn this edWebinar\, Terrie addresses two distinct issues regarding the “I’m just a teacher” mantra perpetuated in the hearts and minds of so many educators. \n\nClassroom teachers walk away knowing their worth\, being equipped to embody a lead-large philosophy\, and knowing how to replace the word “just” with “justified.”\nAdministrators are resourced to cast the vision of a school or district that claims authority over negative self-talk and drives power and purpose in each staff and faculty role that will help to prevent burnout.\n\nIt’s high time to place value where value belongs and dismantle the self-deprecating perception of one of the world’s most influential and epic professions — education! This recorded edWebinar is of interest to teachers\, librarians\, and school and district leaders of all grade levels. \nAbout the Presenter \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  \nAbout the Moderator \nElizabeth Zwerg serves as Learning Ally’s Community Manager\, empowering educators in their journey toward literacy leadership. Elizabeth taught elementary school for seven years in urban\, Title 1 schools and is passionate about solving the equity gap in education. She believes strong educator relationships are central to a child’s learning\, and addressing the needs of the whole child is the framework in which authentic learning occurs. Elizabeth loves serving and connecting with educators because she knows “no authentic learning occurs without an authentic relationship.” \nElizabeth holds a BA in political science\, an MA in conflict resolution\, and co-built a large online community dedicated to empowering women to travel solo\, and served that group for many years as the volunteer community manager. \nWhen not geeking out with other educator friends about instructional practices\, you can find Elizabeth exploring another corner of this vast\, beautiful world. Having traveled to over 34 countries\, she is passionate about diving deep into other cultures\, wandering around markets in foreign lands\, and photographing the big night skies in Texas where she lives with her husband\, Michael\, and German Shepherd\, Sienna. Elizabeth enthusiastically grabs onto opportunities to connect with others and nature. \n\nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \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.
