SUMMARY:Music Activities to Support Social Development in the Early Childhood Inclusion Classroom
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Carol Ann Blank\, Board Certified Music Therapist and Manager of Research and Special Needs Services\, Music Together Worldwide\nSponsored by Music Together \nWatch the Recording\nIf you attended the live session\, you’ll be emailed a CE certificate within 24 hours of the edWebinar. If you view the recording and would like a CE certificate\, join the Music in Early Learning community and go to the edWebinar Archives folder to take the CE quiz. \nIn this edWebinar\, discover how songs and rhythmic chants can support necessary skills inherent in social development\, including joint attention\, turn-taking\, and formulating greetings and appropriate responses.

Because the truth is\, most people are born with enough music aptitude to play in a symphony orchestra when they are adults\, if they choose. But first we must learn how to “speak music”—to take the musical instrument we all have\, ourselves\, developing that musical capacity from a very young age. The sounds we make\, our movements\, our rhythms—these are the building blocks of music and of early childhood learning. And that’s what Music Together is all about.

However\, our education system has been slow to support millions of students who are bright\, capable\, and eager to learn\, but are held back by traditional pathways designed for the mythical “average.” To meet this challenge\, Digital Promise Global has developed the Learner Positioning SystemsTM (LPS) project. Steeped in learning science research\, LPS helps educators and product developers understand how learners vary and provides instructional and product design strategies to support the full diversity of learners. \nIn this edWebinar\, David Ciulla\, Executive Director\, ReadWorks\, and Vic Vuchic\, Chief Innovation Officer\, Digital Promise\, explore how learning science research can help us better support all learners\, and how ed-tech product development can be guided by what we know about learners. Superintendents\, instructional tech administrators\, district level curriculum staff at all grade levels but particularly elementary\, and developers and entrepreneurs of ed-tech will benefit from this recorded session. \nAbout the Presenters \nBefore co-founding the nonprofit ReadWorks\, David Ciulla co-founded Sports Basement\, a successful San Francisco-based retail company; was a consultant advising U.S. and international business clients; and was an analyst with Chemical Bank in New York.

SUMMARY:Open-Ended Questions in the Early Learning Classroom
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Rebecca Berlin\, Chief Strategy Officer\, Teachstone Training\, LLC\nSponsored by Kaplan Early Learning\nWatch the Recording\nIf you attended the live session\, you’ll be emailed a CE certificate within 24 hours of the webinar. If you view the recording and would like a CE certificate\, join the Classroom Management for Early Learning community and go to the edWebinar Archives folder to take the CE quiz. \nOpen-ended questions create meaningful opportunities for learning\, prompting children to reason and reflect while encouraging their use of language. In this edWebinar\, Teachstone Training’s Chief Strategy Officer Dr. Rebecca Berlin shares tips on using open-ended questions to improve classroom interactions with young learners. She gives advice on how to ask questions that generate meaningful conversation\, and offer strategies for encouraging children to reflect and respond. She also shows how open-ended questions fit within the broader framework of the Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS) that helps teachers improve what matters most in the classroom—the interactions that drive learning and development. \nWhile asking questions comes naturally for many early learning teachers\, asking open-ended questions may not. It takes effort to build a repertoire of questions that encourage young children to reflect on and articulate their own ideas. Teachers often find that they have to be intentional about incorporating open-ended questions into their classroom practice. Learn: \n\nStrategies to implement in your classroom to help you remember to ask open-ended questions\nExercises to assist you in generating lists of generic open-ended questions you can use in your classroom\nTips to assist children in responding to open-ended questions\n\nInfant\, toddler\, Pre-K and early elementary teachers and the administrators\, coaches and specialists who support them are invited to watch this recorded session.\nAbout the Presenter \nDr. Rebecca Berlin is the chief strategy officer at Teachstone Training\, LLC\, and in this role works with states and school districts to implement the CLASS system and sets Teachstone’s strategic direction.

The framework offers a platform for you to truly model the adage “work smarter\, not harder” regardless of how your students are interacting with text. Adopting this framework will assist you to take a step back in terms of driving instruction and instead\, truly allow students to show what they are capable of\, where they’re headed next\, and how to collectively get there. Learn how to: \n\nStudy your students with wonder and awe\nExplore each of the 4 Ms and their purpose:\n\nMiner: Uncovering students’ reading processes (focus: assessment)\nMirror: Giving feedback that reinforces a growth mindset (focus: feedback)\nModel: Showing readers what we do (focus: demonstration)\nMentor: Guiding students to try new ways of reading (focus: guided practice and coaching)\n\n\nCreate spaces for student ownership\nApply Gravity Goldberg’s 4 M Framework when assessing your students’ level of engagement\n\n About the Presenter \nBilly Spicer currently teaches in Lake Zurich Community Unit School District 95 in suburban Chicago.

SUMMARY:Why Do Schools Pay Different Prices for the Same Stuff?
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Peter Crosta\, VP of Data Science\, Noodle Markets\nSponsored by Noodle Markets \nWatch the Recording\nIf you attended the live session\, you’ll be emailed a CE certificate within 24 hours of the edwebinar. If you view the recording and would like a CE certificate\, join the InsideK12 community and go to the edWebinar Archives folder to take the CE quiz. \nPrice transparency in K-12 has not historically been top-of-mind for education innovators\, despite federal and state regulations governing competitive bidding and recent advancements in the “edfintech” (education financial technology) space. \nNew research from The Noodle Markets Reports\, which appear regularly on Education Week\, examines spending disparities among districts of differing socioeconomic statuses—for the same goods. Initial reports looked at data around instructional resource purchases in K-3 math\, K-3 ELA\, and 6-8 math. Company market share trends in these categories do not appear to be associated with relative pricing. The latest research looks at paired products purchased across districts. Is pricing consistent? \nIn this edWebinar\, Dr. Peter Crosta presents insights into reasons for pricing disparities and initiatives to increase transparency. Learn about competitive purchasing practices\, state-negotiated purchasing contracts\, district-approved vendor lists\, and minimum bidder requirements. K-12 stakeholders of all levels will learn about the procurement process and promising new efforts to innovate. \n  \nAbout the Presenter \nPeter Crosta\, VP of Data Science\, Noodle Markets\, is responsible for managing and executing data science initiatives. Prior to joining Noodle Markets\, he was VP of Research & Development at Noodle.com and Director of Research at 2U\, Inc.
