DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Stephanie Stollar\, Founder\, Stephanie Stollar Consulting and The Reading Science Academy; Linda Diamond\, Author\, Current Executive Director\, Evidence Advocacy Center; and Katharine Bonasera\, Former Principal\, Current Senior Manager of Educational Partnerships\, Collaborative Classroom \nSponsored by Collaborative Classroom \nWatch the Recording \nLearn more about earning a CE certificate and our accessibility features. \nThis edWebinar is for elementary leaders seeking to transform student outcomes and build sustainable\, system-level improvements\, focused on literacy\, through an MTSS framework. \nWhile MTSS is often associated with isolated interventions\, a high-functioning framework serves as a schoolwide operating system—the foundation for how a school uses and aligns resources to meet the needs of all learners. This edWebinar empowers leaders to transition from reactive troubleshooting toward a proactive\, systemic approach. \nThrough a facilitated conversation\, we explore “pre-mortem” strategies: ways to resolve systemic barriers before they impact student growth. We also examine the necessity of instructional coherence\, ensuring alignment across tiers rather than introducing conflicting intervention routines that increase cognitive load for vulnerable learners. \nLearning objectives include: \n\nExpand the Framework: Establish MTSS as a comprehensive organizational strategy rather than a checklist or sorting mechanism\nThe Proactive Pivot: Apply pre-mortem planning to build robust systems and unify instructional efforts\nEnsure Coherence: Align instructional language and routines across all tiers to create a seamless\, predictable student experience\n\nViewers gain practical insights for designing tiered literacy improvement plans that bridge the gap between professional learning and student outcomes. We discuss sustainable strategies for universal screening and grade-level planning to foster long-term instructional success. \nThis edWebinar is of interest to elementary school and district leaders. \n \n \nAbout the Presenters \nDr. Stephanie Stollar has dedicated over 30 years to improving literacy outcomes through evidence-based practices.

SUMMARY:Teaching History Through Decisions\, Tradeoffs\, and Uncertainty: Students as Historical Decision Makers
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Kevin Parkinson\, Ed.D.\, Former Educator\, Current Education Senior Manager\, Alliance for Decision Education \nSponsored by Alliance for Decision Education \nWatch the Recording \nLearn more about earning a CE certificate and our accessibility features. \nHistory is often taught through the outcomes of decisions\, yet some of the greatest learning opportunities come from examining how those decisions were made. Why did historical figures choose one course of action over another? What information did they have\, what uncertainties did they face\, and what tradeoffs shaped their choices? When students grapple with these questions\, history becomes more than a sequence of events. It becomes an opportunity for students to develop the habits of thoughtful decision makers. \nThis edWebinar explores Decision Education\, the teaching and learning of skillful judgment formation and decision making\, through the lens of history. Informed by decades of decision science research\, Decision Education equips students with durable decision-making skills such as evaluating evidence\, considering uncertainty\, recognizing competing perspectives\, weighing tradeoffs\, and making reasoned judgments. By weaving these practices into existing history instruction\, educators can deepen historical understanding while helping students build skills that extend far beyond the classroom. Viewers explore practical strategies\, classroom examples\, and guidance for integrating Decision Education into history instruction without the need for a full curriculum overhaul. \nViewers explore how Decision Education: \n\nBrings history to life by engaging students as historical decision makers rather than passive observers\nDeepens historical thinking by examining evidence\, uncertainty\, competing perspectives\, and tradeoffs\nStrengthens critical thinking\, perspective taking\, and reasoned argumentation\nSupports thoughtful\, informed civic participation\nEquips students with practical decision-making skills they can apply in school\, work\, relationships\, and everyday life\n\nLearning objectives: \n\nExplain how Decision Education enhances historical inquiry instruction\nIdentify key Decision Education competencies and how they align with historical-thinking practices\nApply practical strategies to integrate historical decision-making activities into existing social studies lessons\nRecognize how analyzing difficult historical decisions can strengthen students’ critical thinking and decision-making skills\n\nThis edWebinar is of interest to middle and high school teachers\, school leaders\, and district leaders. \n \n \nAbout the Presenter \nKevin Parkinson\, Ed.D.\, is the Education Senior Manager at the Alliance for Decision Education. Dr. Parkinson has years of experience as a teacher and principal in traditional district and public charter schools\, as well as with educational nonprofit organizations.

SUMMARY:How to Reach Every Learner in Social Studies: Active Learning Strategies That Work
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Stephanie Quarantotto\, Former Educator\, Current Account Manager\, TCI (Teachers’ Curriculum Institute); and Michael Washington\, Former Educator\, Current Account Manager\, TCI (Teachers’ Curriculum Institute) \nSponsored by Teachers’ Curriculum Institute (TCI) \nWatch the Recording \nLearn more about earning a CE certificate and our accessibility features. \nGive every student access to the same rigorous content without rewriting your lessons. Reaching every student is one of the hardest parts of teaching social studies. Students come in with different reading levels and background knowledge. How do you get all of them into the same content and learning the same skills? \nActive learning strategies change the entry point. One strategy allows students to experience a version of an event before they read about it. They feel the crowding\, the pressure\, or the difficulty of a decision firsthand. That gives the whole class a shared reference point\, so students who came in without much background knowledge now have something to attach it to. It also gives them a reason to read\, because they want to know whether what they felt matches what actually happened. The content stays rigorous\, and the discussion that follows is richer because more students have something to say. \nIn this edWebinar\, we explore active learning strategies and run through some examples together. We break them down to see why the strategy worked\, what it asked of students\, and why it opened the lesson up. We cover: \n\nWhat makes a strategy active\, and why that reaches more students in social studies\nHow a short\, structured experience builds historical understanding\, not just engagement\nWhy the debrief is where the learning happens\, and what to ask\n\nThis edWebinar is of interest to K–12 social studies teachers\, instructional coaches\, and school and district leaders. \n \n \nAbout the Presenters \nWith over 13 years of experience in K-5 general and special education\, Stephanie Quarantotto brings a wealth of classroom expertise to her role as Account Manager with TCI. Before joining TCI\, Stephanie taught kindergarten and fourth grade in Southeast Pennsylvania\, where she served on several pilot committees and was a prominent member of her district’s teachers’ union.

But MTSS is only as strong as what happens between the tiers. This edWebinar looks at how peer-led prevention is enabling districts to strengthen MTSS from the inside by identifying students earlier\, connecting them to help faster\, and shifting school culture so support reaches every student. \nDr. Gregory Hudnall\, Founder of Hope Squad\, joins district leaders Tiffany Sommerfeld\, Director of Academic Advising & Counseling at Belton Independent School District (TX)\, and Shannon Toney\, BJA Stop School Violence Grant Coordinator at Billings Public Schools (MT)\, to discuss how a peer-nomination model puts trained students and accountable adults inside every level of MTSS\, from universal Tier 1 prevention to more targeted support\, and how that structure changes the culture of a school over time. \nViewers hear directly from two districts that have built peer-led prevention into their MTSS frameworks\, including what changed and what it took to get there. They leave with a clearer picture of how peer leadership strengthens tiered support systems in practice and how to make the case for it within their own district. \nThis edWebinar is designed for elementary through high school district and school leaders evaluating how to strengthen and close gaps within their district’s MTSS strategy. \n \n \nAbout the Presenters \nTiffany Sommerfeld serves as the Director of Academic Advising & Counseling Services for Belton Independent School District (BISD).

SUMMARY:Co-Regulation Strategies for Early Childhood Educators: The Calm You Bring
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Kristy Rauch\, Senior Manager of Educational Partnerships\, Collaborative Classroom; Lisa Davis\, Former Educator\, Current Professional Learning Consultant\, Collaborative Classroom; and Lindsay Miner\, M.S.\, Report Review and Certification Specialist\, McCormick Institute for Early Childhood at National Louis University \nSponsored by Collaborative Classroom \nWatch the Recording \nLearn more about earning a CE certificate and our accessibility features. \nBefore young children can regulate themselves\, they need regulated adults—and the early childhood educators who care for them are stretched thin. According to the 2024 RAND American Pre-K Teacher Survey\, Pre-K teachers experience workplace stress at nearly twice the rate of adults in comparable occupations. \nThis edWebinar equips early childhood educators and leaders with both the research foundation and the practical tools to build regulation into their environments\, routines\, and relationships. Viewers: \n\nBuild foundational knowledge of self-regulation and co-regulation—and understand why co-regulation is not optional\, but the foundation that makes self-regulation possible\nExplore strategies for adult regulation\, including mindfulness practices that educators can use in the moment and throughout the day\nLearn how to design environments that reduce dysregulation and support calm\nDiscover instructional approaches that center on the principle: a dysregulated brain cannot learn\nStrengthen daily interactions with children through emotion coaching\, warm\, responsive relationships\, and consistent\, gentle boundaries\nUnderstand the role of reflective supervision in sustaining educator well-being and creating a trickle-down effect that benefits children and families\n\nDrawing on research-based frameworks\, viewers explore how educators and leaders can become steady co-regulation partners for one another and for the children in their care. The presenters dive deeper into the “growth loop”: the powerful\, reciprocal cycle in which co-regulation between early childhood educators and children creates emotional equilibrium and regulated spaces where everyone can thrive. \nWhether you are an early childhood classroom teacher\, caregiver\, instructional coach\, or program leader\, this edWebinar offers renewed confidence and ready-to-use tools and techniques for “downloading calm” to every child and colleague in your care. \n \n \nAbout the Presenters \nKristy Rauch is the Senior Manager of Educational Partnerships for Collaborative Classroom.

As new student-facing AI solutions emerge and public debate intensifies\, education leaders face an urgent question: How can schools harness the potential of AI while preserving what matters most about teaching and learning? \nJoin Aryan Bhadouria\, CEO and Co-founder of TeachShare\, and Jenni Kilmore\, Director of Professional Learning at Vista Higher Learning\, for an engaging edWebinar on the future of AI-powered education. \nTogether\, they examine the latest research\, explore competing predictions about the future of schools\, and discuss both the promise and the potential pitfalls of widespread AI adoption. Most importantly\, they share strategies for helping district and school leaders build a clear vision for AI and guide educators through meaningful\, responsible implementation. \nWhether you're cautiously optimistic or deeply skeptical\, you leave with a practical framework for understanding where AI is headed—and how your school community can prepare for what's next. This edWebinar is of interest to K-12 school leaders\, district leaders\, and education technology leaders. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Presenters \nAryan Bhadouria is the Co-founder and CEO of TeachShare\, an education technology company helping educators strengthen and redefine tiered instruction.
