DESCRIPTION:Presented by Laura Stewart\, Chief Academic Officer\, 95 Percent Group; Dr. Mary Dahlgren\, Founder\, Tools 4 Reading\, and Literacy Executive in Residence\, 95 Percent Group; and Dr. Antonio Fierro\, Vice President of Professional Learning and Academics\, 95 Percent Group \nSponsored by 95 Percent Group \nWatch the Recording\nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nAs students move into the upper elementary grades\, there is a notable difference in the type of words they are being asked to read and understand. Not only do students need to be adept at decoding multisyllabic words\, but they must also have strategies for unlocking the meanings of unfamiliar words. To equip students with the rigorous demands of complex text in these grades\, we need to bring out the “heavy hitters” of intermediate word work: multisyllabic decoding routines and morphology. \nThe upper elementary grades are critical years to continue laying the strong foundation for lifelong literacy. The foundational skills don’t end in third grade; our experts illustrate how to expand that foundation with more sophisticated tools to move our students into the sophisticated text demands they will meet in school and beyond. \nDuring this applicable edWebinar\, our experts showcase efficient instruction to get the job done: replicable\, reliable routines to teach our students to fearlessly attack big words while building morphological understandings to accelerate vocabulary growth. \nWe hope you join us! This recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 teachers and school and district leaders. \n \n \nAbout the Presenters \nLaura Stewart is an educator and organizational leader.

SUMMARY:Redesigning Teacher Evaluation Systems
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Michael Hinojosa\, Former Superintendent\, Dallas Independent School District (TX) and Cobb County School District (GA)\, and Current Chief Impact Officer\, engage2learn; and Dr. Chris Everett\, Chief Strategy Officer\, engage2learn \nSponsored by GroweLab powered by engage2learn \nWatch the Recording\nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nIn times of increasing complexity and educator overwhelm\, one opportunity for school and district leaders to reduce teacher stress is by rethinking teacher evaluation systems. Rather than focusing on compliance-driven teacher evaluation scores as indicators of performance\, leaders can instead focus on individualized growth in relevant\, role-specific competencies over time. Leaders can then utilize that growth data to measure each educator’s impact and provide positive recognition to celebrate individual efforts. This would provide leaders with the necessary data point to effectively connect adult growth to student growth\, which is a much more robust indicator of success. \nIn engage2learn’s experience of providing direct teacher support for over a decade\, they have seen through measurable results that effective educator support leads to increased levels of job satisfaction and retention. As an added benefit\, this support organically improves teacher evaluation scores\, killing two birds with one stone! \nIn this edWebinar\, the presenters share how to redesign teacher evaluation systems and transform educator support\, effectiveness\, and retention. They also discuss redirecting the focus from teacher evaluation scores to research-backed growth data. Viewers gain actionable\, evidence-based solutions for customizing teacher evaluations and integrating growth data into decision making and recognition. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 school and district leaders\, instructional coaches\, math\, reading\, and science coaches\, staff development specialists\, directors of professional development\, and teachers. \n \n \nAbout the Presenters \nDr. Michael Hinojosa served more than 27 years as a superintendent/CEO of six public education systems\, including two of the 25 largest school systems in America: Dallas ISD in Texas and the Cobb County School District in Georgia.
