SUMMARY:Put More “M” in Preschool STEM: Purposeful Integration of Mathematics in Engineering
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Brian Mowry\, Author\, Director of Content for Professional Learning\, Frog Street\nModerated by Jody Martin\, Senior Developmental Editor\, Frog Street \nSponsored by Frog Street \nWatch the Recording\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 strategies to enhance children’s mathematical learning as it occurs authentically during teacher-guided instruction and child-initiated exploration and play focusing on the big ideas of science\, technology\, and engineering. The presenter discusses how the knowledge and skills children enact during STEM occur within five content domains defined by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) as algebra\, numeracy\, measurement\, geometry\, and data analysis. \nFor example\, children encounter algebra as they engage in repeated reasoning to make sense of patterns and structures. Numeracy and measurement intersect when children count nonstandard units (e.g.\, cubes\, blocks) to fit and align along the length or height of various straight-line segments (e.g.\, along the edge of a board). Children also incorporate sorting and graphing to categorize by like attributes. Finally\, formal geometry begins when children problem solve to figure out where and how objects move in space\, discover relationships between the number and length of line segments (e.g.\, shape)\, and visualize how a shape’s orientation changes in space. \nView this session to explore opportunities to connect mathematics into science\, technology\, and engineering. This recorded edWebinar is of interest to preschool teachers\, librarians\, school and district leaders\, and education technology leaders. \n\nAbout the Presenter \nDr. Brian Mowry serves as the Director of Content for Professional Learning at Frog Street and is the senior author of the Frog Street Pre-K Mathematics Program. Dr. Mowry has co-authored other scholarly articles and texts\, including Rigorous DAP in the Early Years: From Theory to Practice. He served 25 years in the Austin Independent School District in Texas as a former bilingual preschool and kindergarten teacher as well as a district-level mathematics and early childhood specialist. During this time\, he was a Teacher of the Year recipient and was awarded the AAEYC Teacher Educator of the Year in 2011. He earned his doctorate at the University of Texas with an emphasis on early childhood education. Dr. Mowry has presented at numerous state and national conferences\, including NAEYC and NCTM. \nAbout the Moderator \nJody Martin has 38 years of extensive and diverse experience in the early childhood field. She is presently the Senior Developmental Editor and contributing author for Frog Street Press. Jody has authored several teacher resource books that cover health and safety\, nature-based activities\, and early childhood classroom environments. She is a dynamic presenter and recognized leader in the field of early childhood education with a commitment to providing quality programs for children. \n  \nJoin the Early Childhood Learning Solutions 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 \nFrog Street is dedicated to continually improving programs and products based on current research and input from early childhood classroom educators and caregivers.

DESCRIPTION:Presented by Ariel Sykes\, Assistant Director of The Ethics Institute\, Kent Place School (NJ); Dr. Colin M. Potts\, Postdoctoral Technical Specialist\, North Carolina State University; Dr. Jennifer Galambos\, Head of School\, Kent Place School (NJ); and Dr. Karen Rezach\, Director of The Ethics Institute\, Kent Place School (NJ) \nSponsored by The Ethics Institute at Kent Place School \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. \nWith the arrival of ChatGPT on our students’ laptops and in our classrooms\, educators are grappling with the ever-increasing use of artificial intelligence in schools. Whether writing an essay or lab report\, conducting research\, working through a math problem\, or building a presentation\, students now have access to learning aids that challenge the very definitions of “learning\,” “original work\,” and “plagiarism.” What boundaries do we set? Does “zero tolerance” toward AI’s use by students make sense if we are preparing them for the future world that they will live in? \nLearning is not the only place where AI is found in school settings. How are we\, the adults\, modeling the usage of AI to our students? Facial recognition software and monitoring systems that track student internet usage are just two examples of interventions done in the name of “school safety.” There are three clear learning objectives in this edWebinar: \n\nA technology specialist helps you to understand the use\, purpose\, and indications for artificial intelligence tools in education\nAn ethicist enables you to delineate the ethical considerations and implications for the use of AI\nA head of school explains how an ethical decision-making process can enable you to develop an actual school policy\n\nThis session helps build your awareness of the ethical issues raised by AI use in schools and empowers you to ask questions in order to make well-informed and ethical policies for the adults and students in your school communities. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 teachers\, librarians\, school and district leaders\, and education technology leaders. \nView the recording for Part 2 on the topic: Artificial Intelligence in Schools: Allow or Prohibit?

SUMMARY:Making Science Accessible for All Learners
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Jennifer Stimpson\, Chief Programs Officer\, T.D. Jakes Foundation \nSponsored by Kognity \nWatch the Recording\nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nTalents and participation in the future of science\, technology\, engineering\, and mathematics (STEM) are leading stakeholders and school leaders to struggle with addressing the differences in STEM subjects. \nLack of recognition\, support\, and opportunities for professional growth have all been cited as reasons why some do not maintain a professional STEM career. The need for different perspectives in STEM subjects is linked to early academic experiences and how students learn what it means to be a scientist. Students are directly influenced by their learning environments and exposures\, which propels interests. As a result\, there are challenges when misconceptions about what it means to be scientists arise. The perception of what a scientist is (i.e.\, role\, responsibility\, duty) or who that person might be (race\, gender) is contrary to how they perceive themselves. \nThe question is what sets and shapes the rules for appropriate behavior in STEM subjects. In the context of science\, most members of the scientific community tend to be white\, and their cultural ideas\, perspectives\, and ideologies of non-minority determine the results of practices\, views\, and policies. In this edWebinar\, you learn how taking STEM education as a social justice issue provides an incentive for equitable education in these areas. Identity and one’s own interest and ability to persist in STEM subjects can therefore be understood in how they value or feel valued by others in STEM subjects. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to high school teachers\, school and district leaders\, education technology leaders\, science curriculum directors\, and science lead teachers. \n\nAbout the Presenter \nBlending science\, substance\, and style\, Dr. Jennifer Stimpson is an educator\, entrepreneur\, and community leader\, serving students through practice and innovative programming. She stands by the philosophy that teachers inspire students to become active lifelong learners. Dr. Stimpson\, an Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator and Black female scientist\, an HBCU\, Big 12\, and Ivy League alumna\, has a statue of her likeness honoring her STEM education career. \nDr. Stimpson’s global vision to advance science literacy for middle school girls mirrors her community\, civic and public mission\, and advocacy promoting science education equity. She works to build communities through workforce readiness and access to sustainable living environments. With sharpened wit and wisdom\, Dr. Stimpson introduces girls to STEM wonders and possibilities\, inspiring them to become STEMinist women. Her community service has garnered local\, state\, and international awards and recognition. \n  \n\nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nJoin the STEM Learning: Full STEAM Ahead 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\nKognity redefines the traditional textbook and supercharges the learning process.

SUMMARY:Moving Past the Reading Wars: Peaceniks Lead the Way
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Jan Hasbrouck\, Ph.D.\, Researcher and Consultant\, JH Educational Services\, Inc.; Margie Gillis\, Ed.D.\, President\, Literacy How\, Inc.; Jeannine Herron\, Ph.D.\, Research Neuropsychologist\, Director\, Talking Fingers; and Jan Wasowicz\, Ph.D.\, Founder and CEO\, Learning By Design\, Inc.\, SPELL-Links\nModerated by Terrie Noland\, Ph.D.\, CALP\, Vice President of Educator Initiatives\, Learning Ally \nSponsored by Learning Ally \nWatch the Recording Listen to the PodcastRead the Article \nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nIn this edLeader Panel\, you hear from a group of researchers and practitioners who have dubbed themselves the “Reading Peaceniks” after meeting for two years and searching for ways to end the divisiveness of the reading wars. The goal of the Peaceniks is to bring together a broad spectrum across disciplines within literacy education to realize that there is more in common than there are differences. There are meaningful ways to present essential direct instruction that provide children with oral language development and the alphabetic coding that research has shown they need to develop into joyful readers and writers. \nWith the recent paper Print-to-Speech and Speech-to-Print: Mapping Early Literacy\, published by Reading Rockets\, the panelists\, who are authors and contributing editors of the paper\, have chosen to address essential components of instructional approaches at their earliest roots—PreK to Grade 1 or 2. In this paper\, they found consensus with 35 renowned literacy thought leaders and researchers after much discussion and editing. It suggests “good practices” for early literacy that they hope will address that yearning for meaningfulness on both sides. Watch this edLeader Panel to: \n\nExplore the viewpoints\, priorities\, and commonalities from the many literacy disciplines\nDiscuss the importance of including encoding and decoding that leads to reading and writing\nLearn about actions you can take to promote harmony while spearheading a literacy revolution\n\nThis recorded edLeader Panel is of interest to K-12 teachers and school and district leaders. \n\nAbout the Presenters \nJan Hasbrouck\, Ph.D. is a leading researcher\, educational consultant\, and author who works with schools in the U.S. and internationally.

She has worked at the policy level through the Connecticut State Department of Education and is an advisor for ReadWorks\, Understood\, and the International Foundation for Effective Reading Instruction. She is on the editorial boards of IDA\, Perspectives\, and The Reading League Journal. Dr. Gillis believes that learning to read is a civil right and that all children can learn to read and benefit from evidence-based instruction. \n\nDr. Jeannine Herron received her Ph.D. from Tulane University Medical School and went on to Stanford Research Institute as a neurobiologist and neuropsychologist. In 1974\, she was awarded a research fellowship from the National Institute of Health (NIH) to investigate cerebral organization in left-handers\, right-handers\, and ambidexters. This research culminated in the publication of her book\, Neuropsychology of Left-Handedness\, by Academic Press in 1980. From 1976 to 1984\, she continued at Langley Porter as a research psychologist\, contributing to all aspects of a large NIH-funded project studying the correlates of dyslexia. \n\nDr. Jan Wasowicz has 40+ years’ experience as a language\, literacy\, and learning specialist\, working with students who have language-based reading\, writing\, and spelling problems in a variety of educational settings.

SUMMARY:Mindsets Leadership Series: The Cost of Underutilizing Teacher Talent
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Rosa Coronado\, Senior Director for Academic Employee Relations\, San Jose State University; Joe Schneider\, Principal\, Liberty Park Elementary (FL); Karen Whetsell\, Instructional Superintendent\, Central Region Secondary Schools (FL); David Samore\, Ed.D.\, CEO\, David Samore & Associates\, LLC; and Aubrey Escobar\, M.Ed.\, Chief Education Officer\, Mindsets Learning \nSponsored by Mindsets Learning \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 challenge of teacher retention continues to worsen in the U.S. in spite of this issue becoming the number-one concern of most school districts. As schools began to open up and return to brick and mortar\, the American public’s initial euphoria and celebration of teachers gave way to hypercriticism and distrust of teacher judgement. Post-pandemic\, large numbers of students have not returned to public school classrooms\, and many remain in a home-school or non-traditional environment. \nRecent research reveals that one of the main reasons teachers leave the classroom—in addition to increased hostility from parents and politicians\, top-down mandates of non-educators\, and lock-step curricular expectations—is the dwindling space for creativity. Teachers feel victimized\, not empowered. What can be done to bring teachers back to the conversation determining leadership? Does a round table of ideas exist where their experience and expertise are both sought out and respected? When teachers leave the profession after a handful of years\, what has changed to ensure that current teachers stay in our classrooms? Can we assign a value—of any kind—to empowering teachers in decision making and problem solving? Can we collaborate more and delegate less\, so teachers are integral to the interpretation and execution of directives? \nThis recorded edWebinar delivers a lively and provocative conversation where innovative ideas are celebrated and status-quo practices are challenged. It is of interest to K-12 school and district leaders as well as teachers. \nThis edWebinar is part three in a three-part series on leadership. View part one\, Mindsets Leadership Series: The Hard Truth About Thought Leadership in Action\, and part two\, Mindsets Leadership Series: Upskilling Teachers for Today and Tomorrow. \n  \n\nAbout the Presenters \nDr. Rosa E.

The goal is to ensure all learners can access and participate in meaningful\, challenging learning opportunities. This vision is shared by the principle of learner variability as demonstrated in Digital Promise’s FREE tool\, the Learner Variability Navigator (LVN). Based on Todd Rose’s theories and research in his book\, The End of Average\, learner variability is the recognition that every student has a unique set of strengths and challenges across a whole child framework that are interconnected and vary according to context. When you understand learner variability\, you see a design challenge\, not a student problem. \nIn this edWebinar\, you learn about innovative ways to use both frameworks to design classrooms that allow each student to meet their potential: \n\nThe principles of UDL\nHow these principles are put into action in the classroom\nWhat learner variability is and how it connects with UDL\nHow the strategies in the LVN can be used to complement the UDL framework\nWhy research matters and undergirds both UDL and LVN\n\nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to PreK-12 teachers\, school and district leaders\, and special education educators. \n\nAbout the Presenters  \nLindsay E.

Since the pandemic learning interruption\, summer- and after-school learning programs have never been bigger or more important. \nOften students who attend summer- or after-school programs have a range of academic and social needs from literacy and mathematics to social-emotional skills. Research shows that students benefit from attending extended school programs\, especially those from low-income backgrounds. As campuses and districts consider their summer- and after-school learning options\, it is important to make the best use of student time and support those adults who will be working with those students. In this edWebinar\, we look at three research-based practices to consider when designing these unique learning windows: \n\nLearn how to use short\, complex texts to support texts to support literacy\nEngage students with collaborative and real-world learning experiences\nBuild background knowledge and experiences\n\nBuild and refine your summer- and after-school learning to maximize learning and keep students coming back. This recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 teachers and school and district leaders. \n\nAbout the Presenter \nKim Carlton currently serves as a Senior Academic Officer for Teacher Created Materials.

SUMMARY:Measuring the Quality of Nature-Based Classrooms Using the NABERS Tool
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Rachel Larimore\, Ph.D.\, Chief Visionary\, Samara Early Learning; Patti Bailie\, Ph.D.\, Associate Professor of Early Childhood Education\, University of Maine at Farmington; and Arianna Pikus\, M.S.\, Doctoral Candidate\, Department of Human Development and Family Studies\, Michigan State University\nModerated by Jennifer Lewis\, President\, Gryphon House\, Inc. \nSponsored by Gryphon House \nWatch the Recording\nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nNature-based education is a rapidly growing approach in early childhood. The Nature-Based Education Rating Scale (NABERS) is a tool developed to help identify the quality and level of “natureness” for those PreK and K-3 programs adding nature to their curricula. This edWebinar first identifies the core principles of Nature-based Early Childhood Education (NbECE) and then discusses tangible measures of quality. Viewers leave the session able to identify nature-based practices in the program structure\, staffing\, physical environment\, community partnerships\, and family engagement. \nWhile other measures of quality exist in early childhood education (e.g.\, ECERS\, CLASS) this is the first tool to specifically address the features of nature-based education. NbECE is considered the blending of early childhood and environmental education and the NABERS tool focuses specifically on the overlap between these two disciplines. That is\, NABERS does not address measures of quality related to early childhood in general\, but rather those practices specific to the nature-based approach. For example\, family engagement is important whether a program is nature based or not. Thus\, NABERS only addresses aspects specific to family engagement such as family education related to the benefits of nature-based learning. \nView this edWebinar to learn how to: \n\nIdentify the core principles of a nature-based early childhood approach\nDescribe quality nature-based practices related to program structure\, staffing\, physical environment setup\, and family engagement\n\nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to PreK-3 teachers and school and district leaders. \n\nAbout the Presenters \nRachel A.
