SUMMARY:Using Stories as the On-Ramp for Students’ Social and Emotional Development
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dwight Smith\, Founder and Author\, My Special Word; and Kristen Walter\, US Director of Programs\, Worldreader \nSponsored by Worldreader \nWatch the Recording\nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nHow can we use the power of words to inspire students to wholly live in each day\, reflect positively upon themselves\, and navigate their relationships with others? In this edWebinar\, the presenters explore the My Special Word collection\, a series of books designed to help children discover their power from within. \nThe presenters examine how reading stories—the place where we can walk in another’s shoes—helps build emotional literacy as we see characters navigate their own emotional regulation and find strength in their words. The discussion includes the correlation between standards\, focusing on college and career readiness strands with a natural link between ELA and SEL. Finally\, they look at an example and break down how short\, explicit SEL lessons can be built out of a story. Watch this session to explore the My Special Word book series and learn how to empower students to find their own SPECIAL words. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to PreK through elementary teachers\, librarians\, school and district leaders\, ELL educators\, migrant family coordinators\, and Title 1 coordinators. \nAbout the Presenters \nWith over 40 years of experience in the IT industry\, Dwight Smith is the founder\, president\, and CEO of Sophisticated Systems\, Inc. in Columbus\, Ohio.

Dwight resides in Lewis Center\, Ohio with his wife\, Renee. He has a quote about My Special Word\, “The idea is that we can create a conversation in a non-intimidating fashion\, I believe in general that if we change the words we use\, we can change the conversations. If we change the conversations\, we can change behaviors. And if we change behaviors\, we can change the world.” \n\nKristen Walter\, Worldreader’s Director of US Programs\, has worked in literacy education for the last 20 years.

SUMMARY:Safety in Middle and High School Science Labs
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Mike Marvel\, Senior Scientist\, Flinn Scientific \nSponsored by Flinn Scientific \nWatch the Recording\nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nDeveloping and maintaining a safe learning environment in the school laboratory is critically important and this responsibility falls primarily to the teachers. Too often\, teachers lack knowledge or understanding of current safety guidelines and protocols due to a variety of reasons\, including that safety may not have been an integral part of their university science curricula\, methods courses\, or research science.  \nSurveys by the National Science Teaching Association and others indicate that although a large majority of university and college science faculty indicate safety is a priority\, most also self-report that they rarely perform risk or hazard assessments prior to conducting experiments. It is no surprise that most high school science teachers enter the profession lacking sufficient training in building and sustaining a proactive lab safety program. Moreover\, these teachers commonly perceive the risk levels in their labs to be low despite reporting that lab accidents and injuries are common. \nThis edWebinar covers how to build a strong safety culture in your classroom\, laboratory\, school\, or district so that you can uphold your duty of care to students and create a safe and effective learning environment. Topics include science safety and the law\, the most commonly reported lab accident in school labs\, chemical safety\, risk assessment\, chemical storage\, disposal\, toxicology\, and proper use of PPE and safety equipment. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to middle and high school teachers and school and district leaders. \n \nAbout the Presenter \nMike Marvel\, Ph.D. leads the science team at Flinn Scientific\, including the development of laboratory manuals\, online courseware and professional development programs\, and the presentation of workshops at national and regional science education conferences. Prior to joining Flinn\, Dr. Marvel spent three years as an assistant professor of chemistry at Aurora University\, where he taught inorganic and general chemistry and led an undergraduate research program funded by American Chemical Society Undergraduate Young Investigator and National Science Foundation Transforming Education in Undergraduate Education awards. In addition\, Dr. Marvel was a co-leader of a team that developed an M.A.T. Teacher Leadership graduate program. Dr. Marvel has authored or co-authored 13 manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals on topics ranging from unique pedagogies in the science lab to the commercial applications of solid-state metal oxides. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in chemistry from Connecticut College and a Ph.D. in inorganic and solid-state chemistry from Northwestern University. \nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nJoin the Teaching Next Generation Scientists community to network with educators\, participate in online discussions\, and receive invitations to upcoming edWebinars. \n\nFlinn Scientific supports STEM/STEAM educators in opening young minds to the challenges and joys of scientific discovery and the design thinking process.
