DESCRIPTION:Presented by Sara Delano Moore\, Ph.D.\, Director of Professional Learning\, ORIGO Education \nSponsored by ORIGO Education \nWatch the Recording\nGet a CE Certificate for this edWebinar Learn more \nProblem solving is an essential skill. Confident problem solvers can identify and frame a problem productively\, they have strategies to help them approach the problem\, and they can assess whether their solution strategy is successful. Rigorous mathematics instruction includes a strong focus on applications of mathematics; these applications are often grounded in problem solving. Problem-solving tasks can occur in real-world contexts or in mathematical contexts. In either case\, collaboration and discourse is essential for problem solving. The more complex the problem\, the more important multiple perspectives are in finding a good solution. Selecting appropriate tasks and facilitating productive collaboration and discourse are critical teacher skills for supporting problem solving in the classroom. \nIn this first edWebinar of a two-part series\, Sara Delano Moore\, Ph.D.\, Director of Professional Learning for ORIGO Education\, focuses on strategies for facilitating productive collaboration and discourse.

Variability matters\, not only among all learners\, but within the community of deaf learners. \nIn this edWebinar\, we discuss a broad range of questions often asked by many teachers\, including: How can I motivate and engage deaf learners\, especially those with different cultural\, language\, and low socio-economic status? How can I better understand and address in classroom practice the diverse language and cultural needs of my deaf students? And\, as a teacher\, how can I work with families to meet the needs of deaf students in a digital environment? \nThis conversation focuses on educational equity\, including critical curricula\, critical consciousness\, and compassionate practices among teachers and students with multiple intersecting identities. We explore ways to provide support for deaf students with different background experiences\, cultures\, and languages. And\, we dig into the research behind learner variability that has an impact on the teaching of and learning by deaf students. \nDuring this edWebinar\, we also: \n\nDiscuss ideas to improve professional development for teachers working with deaf students that seek to elevate strengths rather than lead with deficits\nProvide guidance on how to choose appropriate resources\nOffer ideas on how to partner with parents that are mindful of culture\nEncourage and nurture student identity\, including the intersectionality of deafness and race\n\nThis recorded edWebinar will be of interest to preK-12 teachers\, especially those who teach English language learners\, librarians\, and school and district leaders. \n\nAbout the Presenters \nDr. Melissa Herzig is the education and research translation manager for VL2\, director of the Translation in the Science of Learning Lab\, and co-founder and assistant director for Ph.D. in Educational Neuroscience program at Gallaudet University.

SUMMARY:K-12 Student and Teacher Communication Works. Here’s How.
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Julie Evans\, Chief Executive Officer\, Project Tomorrow \nSponsored by Blackboard \nWatch the Recording\nGet a CE Certificate for this edWebinar Learn more \nWhile schools have long championed the importance of school-to-home communications and encouraged family engagement with local schools\, the remote e-learning environment has promoted effective communications from an important goal to an absolute imperative. But what does effective communications mean in this new era of teaching and learning\, especially relative to the ongoing dialogue between teacher and student? \nIn this edWebinar\, Dr. Julie Evans\, Chief Executive Officer of Project Tomorrow\, presents new research findings from 110\,000 K-12 students nationwide about their preferences and expectations for two-way communications with their teachers. For example\, student and teacher texting increased significantly during the sudden shift to digital learning because of COVID-19 school closures. While only 16% of students in grades 6-8 said they regularly texted with their teachers prior to school closures\, almost one-third of students reported this was a regular occurrence during school closures. Texting\, social media posts\, mobile app alerts and personal emails are now all part of the students’ virtual communications backpack with their teachers and schools. \nBeyond gaining new understanding of the tools in the backpack\, attendees will also acquire new insights around the inherent linkages between effective communications and student success in school. \nThis recorded edWebinar will be of interest to elementary through high school teachers\, school and district leaders\, and district communications professionals. \n \nAbout the Presenter \nDr. Julie A. Evans is the CEO of Project Tomorrow and is the founder of the heralded Speak Up Research Project which annually collects and reports on the authentic views of 400\,000 K-12 students\, parents and educators on education issues each year. Dr. Evans serves as the chief researcher on the Speak Up Project as well as leading research efforts on the impact of digital content\, tools and resources in both K-12 and higher education. Prior to this position\, Dr. Evans enjoyed a successful entrepreneurial career in the technology industry including with two education technology startups. She is a graduate of Brown University and earned her doctorate in educational leadership from the University of California\, San Diego and California State University San Marcos. Dr. Evans serves on several boards and advisory councils and is a frequent speaker and writer on K-12 and higher education issues around digital learning. \nJoin the Family Engagement & Community Outreach in K-12 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\nAt Blackboard\, we’re shaping the future of education with big ideas that are transforming the face of education.
