SUMMARY:Creating a Thriving Inclusive Classroom Space
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Kristi Houston\, Third-Grade Teacher\, Hampden Elementary School (PA); and Denise Buck\, RLA High School Teacher\, Del Valle High School (TX) \nSponsored by The Educating All Learners™ Alliance (EALA)\, An InnovateEDU Project \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. \nClassrooms are more than just the physical space that makes them up. They are built from both mental and physical components meant to benefit all learners involved (students\, teachers\, support staff\, you name it!). Join the Educating All Learners Alliance in a discussion with four educators from across the country about real ways teachers are making their classrooms more inclusive—without breaking the money or time bank. In this edWebinar\, we share stories of success\, considerations for challenges\, future ideas\, and the first steps to get you started. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 teachers\, school leaders\, and education technology leaders. \n\nAbout the Presenters \nKristi Houston is teaching her 20th year in education. She has taught kindergarten\, second grade\, and now third grade for the last six years. She is a mentor teacher at her school and also hosts student teachers in her classroom. She serves on multiple committees such as the Science/Social Studies Curriculum team and the Math Curriculum team. She strives to incorporate SEL throughout the entire day. In addition\, she brings in hands-on STEAM activities to help her students activate their learning. \n\nDenise Buck\, RLA High School Teacher\, is in her 13th year teaching in the border city of El Paso. She began her career as a full-time ESL teacher and had to balance teaching curricula with teaching a language as well. While it was not easy\, she believes it has shaped who she is as an educator today. In her classroom\, she ensures that her students have access to vocabulary at all times as well as a safe space (Remind/Google Classroom) to ask her questions without anyone else hearing/seeing. This allows her to “indirectly” help her students without placing a target on their backs. High schoolers need to feel confident in their learning before they take risks and believing that their teacher has their best interests at heart helps with this as well. \n  \n\nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nJoin the Classroom Environments: From Class Set-up to Student Engagement by Design community to network with educators\, participate in online discussions\, and receive invitations to upcoming edLeader Panels. \n\n \nThe Educating All Learners Alliance (EALA) is an uncommon coalition of organizations committed to resource sharing and community-building that supports the efforts of the education community to meet the needs of students with disabilities or learning differences.

DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Ray Reutzel\, Senior Research Fellow in the Center for the School of the Future at Utah State University\, Award-winning Early Literacy Researcher\, and Elected Member and Past President of the International Reading Hall of Fame; and Sara Rich\, Former Award-Winning Principal\, Current CEO\, Just Right Reader\nModerated by Christy Lamb\, Elementary School Principal and Co-Founder\, The Modern Principal \nSponsored by Just Right Reader \nWatch the Recording\nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nWhat does the Science of Reading tell us about laying the foundations for reading and writing in Pre-K students? How can we\, as educators and school administrators\, translate the research into instruction that unlocks reading foundations for young students and sets them up for reading and writing success throughout their school years? \nIn this edWebinar\, we cover the latest research for foundational reading and explain how it translates to supporting and leading Pre-K classrooms. Dr. Ray Reutzel\, an award-winning early literacy researcher\, walks us through research-tested best practices for alphabet knowledge and transitioning students to CVC word reading. He details the letter-a-day plan for alphabet knowledge acquisition and explains the “why” behind the recommended lesson plan. The research covered in this edWebinar reflects best practices for all Pre-K classrooms\, but is particularly important for districts and schools with high mobility brought on by high poverty or other factors. \nWe also go over what to look for in educational materials to support the research-backed lesson plans. How does the research translate to high-quality and skill-appropriate books to incorporate everything we know about how kids learn to read? \nWhether you are an administrator supporting multiple Pre-K classrooms or an educator working directly with Pre-K students\, you walk away with deeper knowledge of and tactical solutions for implementation of the latest research around increasing early literacy achievement to set students up for successful academic careers. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to Pre-K teachers\, librarians\, and school and district leaders. \n\n\nAbout the Presenters \nDr. Ray Reutzel is currently serving as Senior Research Fellow in the Center for the School of the Future at Utah State University.

SUMMARY:Secondary Newcomers: Equitable Pathways for Diverse EL Profiles
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Lindsey Bird\, Education Coach and Consultant\, Lindsey Bird Consulting and Teach Plus California \nSponsored by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt \nWatch the Recording\nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nIn general terms\, the K-12 school system is designed to teach students how to read kindergarten through third grade\, and then shifts to students relying on reading to learn fourth grade and beyond. Students reading below grade level in the upper grades of elementary have statistically faced an uphill challenge when compared to peers reading at grade level. Yet the demographic that too often gets left out of this conversation about the “remediation” of grade-level competency is a group of students who were not even physically present in U.S. schools during those vital foundational years of primary education—newcomers. \nNewcomers who enter the U.S. school system after the primary grades arrive in classes with curricula and standards assuming some degree of English proficiency. Yet for many\, not only is English a new language\, but so is the Roman alphabet. And for many\, gaps in their formal education mean language is only one of the hurdles these motivated new Americans face. \nWatch this edWebinar to learn how to best address newcomers entering U.S. schools post-primary education\, starting first with our mindsets. Viewing these students for the assets they bring\, rather than the deficits they might be perceived to have when compared to their native-born peers\, is vital. Then\, hear about the importance of exploring the diversity within the various EL profiles newcomers bring into our classrooms and designing equitable pathways that accelerate (not remediate) students toward English proficiency and grade-level content mastery. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 teachers\, especially multilingual teachers\, and school and district leaders. \n  \nAbout the Presenter \nLindsey Bird recently left a 17-year teaching career\, the past decade of which was spent as the developer\, instructor\, and coordinator of the Language Institute\, a specialized program serving immigrant\, refugee\, and asylum-seeking high school students in Modesto\, California\, which was nationally recognized as a model for supporting the needs of newcomer students. \nLindsey is a social justice champion and ally to immigrant students and families at the local\, state\, and national levels. An alumna of the Teach Plus California Fellowship\, Lindsey advocated the state legislature for tenure reform\, as well as successfully inserting explicit protections for newcomer students in the education code. She received the Maestra del Ano award from the Association of Mexican American Educators and the Amiga of the Year award from El Concilio\, and was honored as a Carlston Family Foundation Outstanding Teacher of America. Lindsey earned a BA in social science from California State University Chico and an M.Ed. in literacy and digital learning from the University of San Diego.

SUMMARY:Challenging Behavior in the Autism Classroom: What Can We Do?
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Rachel Emmer\, M.S.\, CCC-SLP\, Teaching & Learning Ambassador\, STAGES® Learning; and Frankie Kietzman\, Manager of Educational Relationships\, STAGES® Learning \nSponsored by STAGES® Learning \nWatch the Recording\nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nEven with established foundational classroom management practices in place\, challenging behavior can and will still happen in classrooms supporting students with autism. When these challenges begin\, teachers can curb the behaviors by analyzing their data to determine the function or cause. Once teachers have determined the “why” a behavior is occurring\, then they can develop a plan to prevent it from occurring in the first place and tailor explicit instruction to reshape behaviors or reinforce replacement behaviors better suited to meeting the students’ needs. This session provides examples of proactive strategies\, explicit teaching techniques and tools\, and reinforcement strategies to ensure that more adaptive\, appropriate behaviors begin to take place. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to PreK-12 teachers\, especially those teaching special education\, and school and district leaders. \n\n \nAbout the Presenters \nRachel Emmer is a speech-language pathologist and worked in public schools for 15 years supporting children in a variety of settings and specialized classrooms at the elementary level\, at an early childhood school\, and as part of a district team supporting behavior for students with special needs across the district.

Currently\, she works for STAGES® Learning and provides professional development and customer care. Rachel has a bachelor’s degree from Baylor University\, a Master of Science in communication disorders from The University of Texas at Dallas and has her Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology (CCC-SLP) from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. \n\nFrankie Kietzman is a manager of educational relationships for STAGES® Learning with experience teaching as an elementary teacher\, a self-contained autism teacher for elementary and secondary students\, and an autism specialist and coach for teachers dealing with challenging behaviors.

As one of her brother’s legal guardians\, she continues to learn about post-graduate opportunities and outcomes for people with autism. She has a passion for peer-mediated interventions\, social-emotional learning\, visual supports\, and community-based instruction.

SUMMARY:Show\, Solve\, and Explain: What’s the Difference Between Doing Math and Using Math?
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Jay Meadows\, CEO\, Exemplars; and Glen Warren\, Director of Literacies\, Outreach\, and Libraries\, Encinitas Union School District (CA)\nModerated by Alaina Cioffi\, Director of Sales\, Exemplars \nSponsored by Exemplars \nWatch the Recording\nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nHow we teach is based on our philosophy of how the brain learns. Asking students to move beyond getting the right answers in our math classrooms can have a profound impact on their ability to become flexible thinkers and effective problem solvers. These expectations also lead to dramatic differences in learning outcomes for students\, including measurable outcomes on their end-of-year assessments. \nUsing performance tasks\, we explore how asking students to engage in rich mathematical problem solving and justify their conclusions with language\, representations\, and calculations creates neural networks between four distinct regions of the brain. Watch as we uncover a strategy for developing deep and lasting mathematical understanding for all students: solution writing. In this edWebinar\, you learn: \n\nThe difference between doing math and using math\nWhat mathematics looks like in the brain\nWhat types of problems inspire students to use mathematics\nHow use of a consistent rubric can drive teacher and student focus beyond calculations to deeper conceptual understanding and transfer\nHow to inspire students to construct their own understanding versus simply giving them algorithms\nResearch that supports this learner-centered approach\n\nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to teachers\, school and district leaders\, and math coaches of the elementary and middle school levels. \n\nAbout the Presenters \nJay Meadows serves as Exemplars’ Chief Executive Officer.
