SUMMARY:Decoding Is Only Half the Story: Challenges with Implementing the Science of Reading
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Suzanne Carreker\, Principal Educational Content Lead\, Lexia Learning \nSponsored by Lexia Learning \nWatch the Recording\nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nTo accelerate literacy learning\, the Science of Reading is being embraced in states\, districts\, and schools across the nation. But as it turns out\, actually implementing it in the classroom is no picnic. Part of this struggle is combatting the longstanding myth that the Science of Reading means phonics. While explicit phonics instruction is supported by the Science of Reading\, it’s only one part of the equation. \nTeaching students to read is complex. Some students seem to pick it up intuitively\, while others struggle\, and it can be difficult to identify why. The Science of Reading can help every student learn to read\, but it is a large body of evidence that can be difficult to understand without proper guidance.

The reality is there are many benefits to nature-based learning for children’s whole development—not just their physical well-being. There are also benefits to teachers! (Imagine having more joy in your workday!) However\, for many educators\, implementing a nature-based approach is easier said than done. How do we bring nature inside? How do we accomplish our curricular goals outside? What do we do about the logistics of weather\, dirt\, bathrooms\, etc.? What do we say to families who don’t understand why the children are “just playing outside”? \nThis edWebinar first explores the fundamental principles of the nature-based approach. Then\, Dr. Rachel Larimore provides five simple steps\, aligned with these principles\, to intentionally integrate the approach into teaching practice—no matter your current situation. Viewers leave the session with tangible ideas that can be implemented the next day as well as some ideas that can be worked toward in the future. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to PreK-3 teachers and school and district leaders\, as well as early childhood researchers and scholars. \n \nAbout the Presenter \nDr. Rachel A.

SUMMARY:Demystifying Dyslexia: The History\, Research\, and Best Practices for Supporting All Students
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Rachel Brown\, Ph.D.\, Senior Research Associate\, Illuminate Education\, Inc.; and John Bielinski\, Ph.D.\, Senior Director of Research and Development\, Illuminate Education\, Inc. \nSponsored by Illuminate Education \nWatch the Recording\nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nThe term dyslexia dates to the early 20th century when the phrase “word blindness” was introduced as a way to describe a particular type of reading challenge. Over a century later\, many educators still struggle to understand not only what dyslexia is and how it can be identified\, but also how to provide effective supports for students with reading difficulties\, including dyslexia. \nIn recent years\, most U.S. states have adopted measures related to dyslexia screening so that early identification of—and intervention for—dyslexia can occur. Importantly\, recent dyslexia legislation requires all educators\, not just special education teachers\, to understand the causes and treatments for dyslexia in order to provide a comprehensive approach to support reading success for all students. During this edWebinar\, Drs. Rachel Brown and John Bielinski discuss: \n\nThe complicated history of the term “dyslexia” and its appropriate role in schools\nMyths and fears about dyslexia and how to address them with facts\nCurrent research around effective screening and what we know to be true about teaching students with dyslexia and other reading difficulties\nBest practices for screening and progress monitoring that will work within your MTSS\n\nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 teachers\, school and district leaders\, and school counselors and psychologists. \n \nAbout the Presenters \nDr. Rachel Brown began her career as a middle school social studies teacher. She quickly learned that many of her students could not read well enough to understand assigned texts. This led Dr. Brown to earn certification as a special educator. Having learned that special education was not the answer to all students’ learning challenges\, she earned her Ph.D. in school psychology and special education at the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2000. She was a faculty member in educational and school psychology at the University of Southern Maine for 16 years and then joined FastBridge Learning where she currently serves as a senior research associate. Dr. Brown now teaches in the Special Education Department at the University of Southern Maine. Her research focuses on effective reading instruction and assessment within a Multi-Tiered System of Support. \n \nDr. John Bielinski is a psychometrician by training and has led development of educational tests and educational research in the industry for 20 years. Dr. Bielinski began his career in education policy at the National Center on Educational Outcomes and joined FastBridge in 2018. His expertise is in CBM and modeling growth. \n \nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nJoin the Teaching Reading and Writing 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 \nIlluminate Education partners with K-12 educators to equip them with data to serve the whole child and reach new levels of student performance.

Everyone is well aware there is a national teacher shortage\, and that shortage has many asking\, “How do we focus on accelerating learning for students without creating additional work for our staff?” \nUnprecedented challenges require innovative solutions. Using a high-impact tutoring partner to launch a new initiative or scale an existing program is a way to move learning forward with minimal demand on staff. In this edWebinar\, we discuss how\, when done right\, high-impact tutoring can increase student achievement and growth without putting more responsibility or stress on teachers and staff. We review the research defining high-impact tutoring\, its efficacy and influence on student success\, and the key components to look for in an effective tutoring program. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 school and district leaders. \n \nAbout the Presenters \nChristian Rhodes served as Senior Advisor to the U.S. Secretary of Education\, Dr. Miguel Cardona\, where he advised the Secretary on all matters related to K-12 education.

Many are underserved in schools because programs too often emphasize deficits and ignore strengths. In this edWebinar\, through a whole-child framework\, we discover what the research says matters for supporting students with learning disabilities and ADHD in being able to learn\, meet their potential\, and feel a sense of belonging in their schools and classrooms. We present how these ideas can be incorporated into the IEP process with the goal of providing you with steps to take to build an inclusive environment that has high expectations and support for all students with learning disabilities. \nWe also engage in conversation with two young adults with learning disabilities and a parent of a child with learning disabilities. They share their experiences of what works—and what doesn’t—in a school environment. During this edWebinar\, viewers are able to: \n\nUnderstand key research findings that have an impact on teaching and learning for students with learning disabilities\, particularly in the areas of writing\, math\, reading\, attention\, emotion\, and executive functioning\nRecognize the importance of using student strengths to mitigate deficits\nDiscover ways to include the research findings and a strength-based approach in writing IEPs\nHear first-hand accounts from students about what works for them to learn best in a school environment\n\nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to PreK-12 teachers\, librarians\, school counselors\, and school and district leaders. \n \nAbout the Presenters  \nAlison R.

Many states are incorporating new approaches to ensure students meet their Portrait of a Graduate requirements. One solution is to include open-ended and performance-based assessments that authentically measure students’ learning and skills. \nTune into this edWebinar to hear how two diverse districts—New York City and Catalina Foothills School District (AZ)—are using performance-based assessment across the curricula to get a more accurate picture of students’ abilities to apply and demonstrate their knowledge and skills. The presenters share and explore: \n\nThe essential components of a performance-based assessment\nWhy performance-based assessments provide a more accurate measurement of students’ knowledge and skills\nThe challenges and successes in developing and administering performance-based assessments\nThe response to performance-based assessments from educators\, students\, and parents\nHow the skills being measured using this method relate to college and career readiness\n\nJoin us for an information-packed session with education experts who help you ensure students are not only mastering academic content but also becoming competent in essential success skills. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to middle and high school teachers\, school and district leaders\, and school counselors. \n \nAbout the Presenters \nStacey Sparks graduated from Princeton University with honors in English literature. She subsequently received a diploma in librarianship from Aberystwyth University. She has worked as an editor in the field of educational assessment at National Evaluation Systems\, the American Institutes of Research\, and joined CAE in 2012. Stacey served as the senior ELA editor for CAE’s PARCC summative assessment development project and also worked as a test\, test preparation\, and textbook developer for virtually every educational publisher and test development firm in the U.S. At the National Evaluation Systems\, she supervised the development of French and Spanish listening tests. Stacey has collaborated extensively with committees of educators to develop high-quality test items and other educational materials\, including four Standards documents for the National Board of Professional Teaching Standards in Washington\, D.C. She has also published fiction and nonfiction books and articles for children and adults. \n \nLisa Karlich started her career in education teaching a combined physics and pre-calculus course in a 6-12 New York City public school. While teaching\, she took a lead role in updating the school’s performance-based assessment program\, organizing cross-functional teams of teachers to revise and strengthen the rubrics used to evaluate those assessments. Eventually\, she moved into an administrative position coaching math and science. Lisa was actively involved in the Coalition of Essential Schools and their Small Schools Project\, founded by Ted Sizer and funded by the Gates Foundation\, mentoring the start up of small schools across the country\, facilitating numerous workshops\, and co-authoring revisions to the CES Benchmarks for Classroom Practice and Organizational Structure. With over 20 years in public service\, she is currently the executive director of periodic assessment for the New York City Department of Education\, cultivating the broader reach of formative assessment\, and in particular performance-based assessments\, to inform and improve instructional practice. \n \nMary Jo Conery is the associate superintendent in the Catalina Foothills Unified School District (CFSD) in Tucson\, Arizona.

Mary Jo has presented the district’s work at numerous national conferences and has consulted with districts on CFSD’s long-term\, systemic implementation efforts and results on 21st century education\, including the development of curricula and common performance tasks that measure 21st century skills. \n \nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nJoin the Assessment for Learning 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 \nSince 2002\, educators have relied on CAE’s performance-based assessments to provide them with accurate\, actionable insights into their students’ mastery of the skills essential to academic success in secondary school and college\, and the skills most in-demand by employers—problem solving\, critical thinking\, and written communication.
