Stressed Out. Mental Health Crisis in Our Schools. Pandemic Learning Losses. These are the headlines\, but they do not have to be your life! Learning and then practicing mindfulness has the power to change these headlines and improve not only the quality of your life but create a ripple effect in your classroom. Understanding mindfulness just might activate your superpowers and enable you to overcome challenges in a way that serves both yourself and the greater good. \nNumerous studies have shown that mindfulness can support learning\, improve physical and mental well-being\, cultivate self-management\, reduce aggression\, improve social skills\, and more—but without a conscious decision and a simple method to integrate it easily\, it becomes just another buzzword. In this edWebinar you learn both the why and the how to practice mindfulness so you can calm the storm within you. Watch to learn and to receive the gift of respite from your busy life and reactivate the power that is truly within you. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to PreK-12 teachers\, librarians\, and school and district leaders. \n\nAbout the Presenter \nABC—Awareness\, Breath\, Connection. It’s simple to step into our own power\, but it takes practice. Tida Chambers uses this approach to engage and empower others to discover and know who they are and to know where their unique gifts lie.

SUMMARY:Using MTSS to Address Learning Gaps: A Blended Learning Approach
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Lynn Bosworth\, Principal\, The Cottage School (GA); and Lisa Baumohl\, Learning Specialist and School Counselor\, The Cottage School (GA) \nSponsored by VEDAMO \nWatch the Recording Listen to the Podcast \nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nView this edWebinar to learn how combining MTSS with blended learning can accelerate learning recovery for all students. \nWith the return to campus\, it is clear that our students have serious gaps in their educational programs. Intervention strategies post pandemic need to blend academic\, social\, and emotional support. In addition to learning loss\, have you noticed more temper tantrums (regardless of age)\, less resistance to change\, and more difficulty making friends? You are not alone. \nIn this edWebinar\, we demonstrate some strategies and interventions that you can immediately use with your students. By using a systematic MTSS approach to intervention\, you can meet all your students where they are. MTSS is a framework that uses data to help match academic and social-emotional behavior assessments and instructional resources to each individual student’s needs. If you blend in-person and online teaching you can reach more students in less time\, in small groups and individually. \nWatch as we go over these strategies and offer real-time solutions to getting back on track. This recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 teachers\, school and district leaders\, and education technology leaders. \n \nAbout the Presenters \nLynn Bosworth attended the University of Delaware and graduated with a degree in community and family services.
