SUMMARY:Race and Learning Disabilities: Barriers and Ramps to Ensure Robust and Appropriate Teaching and Learning
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Temple Lovelace\, Founder and Director\, Assessment for Good\, Advanced Education Research and Development Fund (AERDF); Bennison (Bb) Ntsakey\, Senior Educational Consultant\, Blueprint Collective; and Samantha Schmitt\, Equity\, Inclusion\, and Justice Coordinator\, Fanny Edel Falk Laboratory School\, University of Pittsburgh (PA)\nModerated by Barbara Pape\, Senior Director\, Learner Variability Project\, Digital Promise \nSponsored by Digital Promise \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. \nThe intersection of race and learning disabilities presents school-imposed barriers and roadblocks for students of color. These roadblocks include misidentification\, incorrect placement\, and severe and inappropriate discipline measures. In one study\, for example\, Black students from non-low-income backgrounds had about twice the likelihood of being identified with intellectual disabilities or emotional disturbances compared to White students from non-low-income backgrounds. The NCLD report also cited research that found\, “Black students\, for example\, are three times more likely than White students to be suspended or expelled\,” with one study concluding that this disparity is at least partially due to internalized racial stereotypes held by teachers. \nIn this edWebinar\, we learn what the research says about the intersection of disability and race\, what schools can do to more appropriately determine a student’s disability given racial and cultural uniqueness\, and strategies for individual teachers to keep expectations high and ensure that students receive appropriate supports so they can meet their potential. During this edWebinar\, viewers: \n\nDevelop a better understanding of explicit and implicit racial bias and how that impacts students who have learning disabilities\nLearn about what the research says about barriers presented to students who are at the intersection of race and learning disabilities\nExplore strategies to ensure that students of color with learning disabilities are offered a robust education in a supportive environment with the appropriate supports\nHear first-hand accounts from researchers and educators in schools\n\nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 teachers and school and district leaders. \n \nAbout the Presenters  \nTemple S. Lovelace\, Ph.D. is the founder and director of Assessment for Good. Assessment for Good\, an inclusive R&D program at the Advanced Education Research and Development Fund (AERDF)\, grew out of a commitment to transform the role of assessment in the lives of Black and Latinx learners so that it is identity affirming and honors the continuum of their development. Previously\, Dr. Temple was an associate professor of special education at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh\, PA. In 2018\, she launched eXiLab\, a cooperative incubator in the School of Education that tested a set of experimental and non-experimental methods for Inclusive R&D that focuses on advancing equitable learning opportunities accessible to learners across various contexts. \nDr. Temple’s research is on the intersection of disability\, race\, and gender and the creation of innovative\, culturally affirming supports for Black neurodivergent girls. Her work has recently centered on pAIR Assessment\, a prototype created during her dissertation research that leverages ecobehavioral assessment and technology to identify and ameliorate instructional and environmental risk factors for culturally diverse learners. With better tools\, the overrepresentation of culturally diverse learners with and without disabilities in exclusionary school spaces can be eliminated. Her commitment to this goal is found in the following publications: Community-University Partnerships as Vehicles of Radical Leadership\, Service and Activism; Creating a Schoolwide Culture to Support Practitioner Research; Experiences of African American Mothers of Sons with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Lessons for Improving Service Delivery; and Missing from the Narrative: A Seven Decade Scoping Review on the Inclusion of Black Autistic Women and Girls in Autism Research. She received her Ph.D. in special education and behavior analysis from The Ohio State University. \n  \n \nBennison (Bb) Ntsakey is a senior educational consultant at the Blueprint Collective\, a coalition of equity-driven leaders supporting organizations and communities toward strong\, equitable results in teaching\, learning\, and leader development. Bennison brings 15 years of experience leading\, guiding\, and advising organizational senior leaders to improve learning opportunities through equity initiatives\, highlighted most recently through EquityByDesign\, a comprehensive approach of using user-centered\, agile school design to coach school teams across the country with a framework for continuous improvement. \nPreviously\, he served as the senior director of academics at Brooklyn Laboratory Charter Schools and led school turnaround as the principal of Community Charter School of Paterson. Bennison also served as an instructional leader at Uncommon Schools for several years and was the school director and manager of teacher leadership for Teach For America for the three years prior. He began his career in education as a special educator and humanities coach for Miami-Dade County Public Schools. He holds a master’s in education (public school building leadership and organization) from Columbia University Teachers College; a master’s in education (education and social change) from the University of Miami Graduate School of Education with clinical educator certification; and a BA in English\, philosophy\, and African American studies from Syracuse University. \n \nSamantha Schmitt is the inaugural coordinator of equity\, inclusion\, and justice at the Fanny Edel Falk Laboratory School\, a private K-8 school affiliated with the University of Pittsburgh’s School of Education. In this senior-level role\, Samantha works with students\, faculty\, staff\, parents\, and caregivers in a variety of contexts\, including professional development\, student admissions\, curriculum development\, classroom instruction\, and more. \nA native of Monroeville\, Pennsylvania\, Samantha is the former dean of students at the Duquesne City School District\, where she managed student affairs. Prior to that role\, she worked at Duquesne schools as a teacher and instructional coach for science\, STEM\, and technology. “The primary years are the foundation for students\,” said Samantha. “Reading\, writing\, math—if you don’t have those skills down in the first few years\, you will struggle down the road. The same could be thought of with equity and inclusion. If we don’t instill that knowledge in our children\, then as adults they will have deficit thinking and bias as adults.” \n  \nAbout the Moderator \nBarbara Pape\, senior director for the Learner Variability Project at Digital Promise\, led a three-year national survey on learner variability and teacher practice\, wrote the paper defining learner variability\, hosts a monthly webinar series\, and co-developed The IEP Project.

Each day is a million little decisions along with frequent stimulus and response\, and educators can feel alone\, exhausted\, and ready to throw in the towel. \nWhat are some of the attitudes and behaviors of resilient educators who successfully manage the unique stressors of this profession? Are there certain habits or practices that we can use to cultivate resilience? Within each of the 7 Mindsets\, there are specific thought structures that we can focus on to develop and nurture resilience. Using research from 7 Mindsets as well as other contributors\, this edWebinar helps to strengthen the reserves of educators who may be struggling with bouncing back\, who may want to deepen their understanding of themselves and how they choose to respond to things\, and who understand the importance of thriving\, not just surviving\, as educators. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to PreK-12 teachers\, school and district leaders\, librarians\, school counselors\, and education technology leaders. \n \nAbout the Presenters \nJulie Spierto is a senior educational services manager for 7 Mindsets.

As such\, access to quality health and wellness content has never been more important. \nDiscovery Education and its global corporate and community partners have joined forces to build health and wellness resources dedicated to supporting educators\, students\, and families through equitable access to meaningful learning tools. Health and wellness are essential to identity\, development\, how we relate to one another\, and how we experience the world around us. Watch as we explore this catalog of no-cost tools and discuss best practices for implementation in the classroom. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 teachers and school leaders. \n \nAbout the Presenters \nAnn Crilley is a former high school math teacher\, instructional technology coach\, curriculum and professional development writer. Now\, she spends her days supporting teachers in falling in love with Discovery Education and using their resources in the classroom. A dog mom of two poodles\, she also loves exploring Kentucky’s beauty each weekend! \n \n\nCameron Waldo is a former kindergarten teacher and childhood wellness advocate. In his role at Discovery Education\, he finds creative ways to bring educators together to provide tools that will help reach all learners. \n \nSince 2003\, Michael Tyler’s been putting pen to paper\, authoring Water for the Soul: A Father’s Hope for His Son\, a collection of life lessons\, and Sow the Seeds: A Composition in Verse\, a poetry journal. But in 2005\, when one day his son came home from elementary school and shared that he’d been called a racially disparaging name by a classmate on the playground\, Tyler began thinking differently about his writing. He knew he wanted to talk with his son about what happened\, so he looked to children’s books to help him approach this challenging conversation in a way his 5-year-old could grasp. So\, Tyler started reading… \nAfter two weeks and 347 children’s books later\, Tyler concluded that the book he needed to help explain to his son race and racism didn’t yet exist\, so instead he’d need to write it. That’s how Tyler’s first children’s book\, The Skin You Live In\, was born. \nAs an African American man and father to biracial children\, Tyler is acutely aware of the world’s “-isms.” To combat racism\, sexism and more\, he writes affirming\, empowering stories to engender self-worth in kids. Through verse and rhyme\, Tyler transforms meaty topics and difficult concepts\, including race\, acceptance and equity\, into language kids can both understand and enjoy. He is passionate about arming parents and educators with the resources and tools (including social and emotional learning curriculum around two of his titles) they need to start tough dialogues with their kids and students. \nWhen he’s not writing\, hosting a virtual reading hour or participating in programming around his books\, Tyler gets satisfaction through cooking for others. One of his favorite ways to give and receive love is watching someone’s eyes light up after taking their first bite of his butter cake. Tyler resides in Chicago with his wife\, Alicia. \n  \n \nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nJoin the Creating a Positive School Climate 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 \nDiscovery Education is the global leader in standards-aligned digital curriculum resources\, engaging content\, and professional learning for K-12 classrooms.

SUMMARY:English Learners and Dyslexia Screening: Uncover the Root of Reading Difficulties
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. \nDyslexia affects individuals from all languages and cultures\, including students learning English. However\, accurate identification of dyslexia in EL students requires a balance between recognizing their emerging English skills alongside proficiency in the first language. It is important not to make assumptions about the source of an EL student’s reading difficulties. Instead\, educators need to obtain and analyze the right assessment data so that the correct source of reading difficulties is found\, and acquire information about language development in the student’s native language. \nFollowing the popularity of their September 2022 edWebinar\, Demystifying Dyslexia: The History\, Research\, and Best Practices for Supporting All Students\, Renaissance Learning experts Drs. John Bielinski and Rachel Brown are back to discuss the intersection of ELs and dyslexia screening. View this edWebinar to deep dive into using science-based screening tools to determine an EL’s risk for reading difficulties like dyslexia and plan effective supports. They discuss: \n\nCommon misconceptions surrounding ELs and their potential to build reading proficiency and achieve academic success\nHow to use science-based reading screeners and progress-monitoring tools to determine an EL’s risk for dyslexia\nReasons to screen in both English and an EL’s native language to uncover underlying reading difficulties like dyslexia\nThe importance of gathering background knowledge and conducting interviews to understand a student’s educational history\, exposure to oral and written language\, and native language reading proficiency\nSteps for determining if an EL has a learning disability like dyslexia using high-quality reading instruction practices based on the Science of Reading\n\nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 teachers\, school and district leaders\, school counselors and psychologists\, and assessment and intervention directors. \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.

Hear from educational leaders who collaborated with an eLearning firm focused on diversity\, equity\, and inclusion to develop Success Seminars\, online self-paced courses for Baltimore City high school students enrolled in college credit programming. You hear insights on how each of the Success Seminars make the “hidden curriculum” of college visible and utilize digital learning as tools for culturally sustaining pedagogy\, helping students of color develop the stamina and sense of belonging they need in order to thrive in Baltimore’s emerging college-going culture. You hear insights from the district- and school-level personnel on the ways that they believe the Success Seminars will help them to talk about student success in new ways. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to high school teachers\, school and district leaders\, and education technology leaders. \n \n \nAbout the Presenters \nJennifer Dunn is a seasoned professional with over 20 years of educational experience in both the K-12 sector and adult education.
