SUMMARY:The World of Music Play in Your Early Learning Classroom
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Deanna deCampos\, Director of Educational Services\, Music Together LLC\nSponsored by Music Together \nThis program has been updated.\nVIEW THE UPDATED PROGRAM \nAs every early childhood professional knows\, children learn through play! Research also highlights how play is an important part of children’s development of the skills and dispositions that are essential to learning and classroom engagement. One such type of play activity that can support a child’s development and learning is music play. \nWhile most of us think of music class as teacher-led songs\, a developmentally appropriate music experience fosters child-initiated music play and provides the opportunity for individual children to focus on their own musical ideas – at all ages. Before young children can play music (i.e.\, perform)\, they must play with music! \nRegardless of their music background\, webinar viewers will discover the ways in which exposing children to developmentally appropriate\, non performance-oriented music activities supports a child’s innate tendency to play while also benefiting children’s overall development. They will learn ways to create a child-centered\, playful music environment that encourages and values children’s own ways of making music\, allows each child to take ownership of his or her music learning\, and affords each teacher an opportunity to maximize the learning benefits of play. The presenter also showed some great songs that early childhood educators can use in their classes to provide children with a rich musical playground. \nJoin the Arts & Music in Early Learning community to participate in online discussions with peers\, for invitations to upcoming webinars\, to view past webinar recordings\, to take a quiz and receive a CE certificate for a past webinar\, and for access to more resources. \n  \nDeanna deCampos is the Director of Educational Services at Music Together LLC. An accomplished actress and singer\, Deanna’s off-Broadway and regional credits include both plays and musicals. She has been a Music Together teacher and center director for over 20 years teaching children ages birth through 7. She co-founded ArtStrides\, a non-profit with the mission to help bridge the achievement gap by providing arts-based programming to children from economically disadvantaged families. Deanna has a B.A. Music Theater and Voice Performance from New York University and an M.F.A. in Acting from the Actor’s Studio School of Drama at New School University\, and possesses Orff Certification Level I as well as a Music Together Certification Level II. \n\nAt Music Together\, we understand the importance of music in early childhood—from birth\, in fact. 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.

Mike Eisenberg and Janet Murray presented this Big6 by the Month webinar for educators preK-20—especially teacher-librarians—focused on meeting the ICT literacy needs of 21st Century students. \nLearn how to use the Big6 Skills approach in a defined\, predictable\, measured and reported program. This presentation focused on the defined and predictable aspects of the program. \nThe Big6 by the Month curriculum is defined in terms of ICT Literacy and subject area standards which describe what students should know and be able to do. The Big6/Super3 approach helps students achieve standards by developing transferable skills and strategies. The Big6 by the Month curriculum is also predictable because each month of the school year is devoted to one of the Big6 Skills. Based on content from the forthcoming book\, the webinar includes sample lesson plans\, program planning guidelines\, and templates to develop your own ICT literacy program. \nJoin SLC @ The Forefront: A Community of Innovators to participate in online discussions with peers\, for invitations to upcoming webinars\, to view past webinar recordings\, to take a quiz and receive a CE certificate for a past webinar\, and for access to more resources. \n  \n \n  \nDr. Mike Eisenberg\, the founding dean of the Information School at the University of Washington\, is an educator\, scholar\, advocate\, and mentor whose personal motto is\, “make it better!” Mike is a prolific author (9 books and dozens of articles and papers) and has worked with thousands of students—pre-K through higher education—as well as people in business\, government\, and communities to improve individual and organizational information and technology access and use. \n  \nJanet Murray has used the Big6 Skills to help students become “information literate” since she created an online matrix and web page of activities linking the Big6 to national information literacy standards in 1999.

SUMMARY:Giving Effective Feedback to Your Students
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Susan M. Brookhart\, Ph.D.\, Consultant\, Brookhart Enterprises LLC\nSponsored by Triumph Learning \nWATCH THE WEBINAR RECORDING\nIt’s not the provision of feedback\, but the students’ use of it that makes feedback effective. In this two-part webinar series\, participants learned a framework for looking at how feedback is given and how it is used. We then applied this framework to examples of oral and written feedback. \nThe two most common forms of teacher feedback to students in classrooms are oral and written. In part two of this series\, participants analyzed examples of oral and written feedback\, evaluate their quality\, and judge their effectiveness. This recorded webinar applied the framework for looking at feedback from part one\, to examples in different content areas and at different grade levels. Watch Susan M. Brookhart\, Ph.D. to learn about providing effective feedback to your students. \nJoin the Assessment For Learning community to participate in online discussions with peers\, for invitations to upcoming webinars\, to view past webinar recordings\, to take a quiz and receive a CE certificate for a past webinar\, and for access to more resources. \n  \nSusan M. Brookhart\, Ph.D.\, is an education consultant based in Helena\, Montana\, U.S.A. She currently works with teachers\, schools\, districts\, universities\, and states in the area of classroom assessment. She has been a classroom teacher and a professor and department chair in the School of Education at Duquesne University\, where she currently is an adjunct faculty member. Her interests include the role of both formative and summative classroom assessment in student motivation and achievement\, the connection between classroom assessment and large-scale assessment\, and grading. She has written or co-authored sixteen books and over 70 articles on assessment. \n  \nWATCH THE WEBINAR RECORDING \nA CE certificate will be emailed to live attendees within 24 hours of the live event.\nIf you miss the live session\, a link to view the recording will be sent within 24 hours of the live event. \n  \nDeveloped specifically for the Common Core State Standards\, Triumph’s Common Core Coach\, Support Coach\, and Performance Coach series provide professional development support for teachers and rigorous instruction and practice for students\, covering the skills and concepts students need to master. In four case studies in Kentucky\, an outside research firm found that the use of Common Core Mathematics or Common Core English Language Arts with elementary and middle school students contributed to an improvement in the achievement levels on K-PREP\, Kentucky’s state-wide test. The number of students who performed at the lowest level (Novice) decreased significantly\, with a corresponding increase at the higher performance levels. \n

SUMMARY:Making Media that Sticks
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Tony Vincent\, educator\, consultant and author\nSponsored by Learning Bird \nWATCH THE WEBINAR RECORDING\nThere are six principles of sticky ideas according to Dan and Chip Heath\, authors of Made to Stick. Sticky ideas are ones that we can plainly understand\, clearly remember\, and easily retell. When teachers and students make educational media\, whether visual\, audio or video\, we want them to be sticky. Let’s look at examples so we can make our own (and our students’) ideas stick. \n  \nJoin The Digital Educator community to participate in online discussions with peers\, for invitations to upcoming webinars\, to view past webinar recordings\, to take a quiz and receive a CE certificate for a past webinar\, and for access to more resources. \n  \n \nThe only thing Tony Vincent likes better than teaching is learning. He currently resides in Council Bluffs\, Iowa\, but he used to teach fifth grade in Nebraska. Since 1998 he’s been a pioneer in digital learning\, having a classroom website before many classrooms even had internet access. In 2001 he had a 1:1 classroom full of Palm Pilots\, and in 2005 he started one of the first podcasts from an elementary school. Today\, Tony is focused on helping teachers empower students with technology. \n  \n  \nWATCH THE WEBINAR RECORDING \n  \nLearning Bird is dedicated to helping students learn their own way. Their library of teacher-created digital lessons provides multiple perspectives on every topic so that if one lesson doesn’t help your kids understand\, another one most definitely will. All of the lessons are aligned to local curricula and textbooks and will help your kids develop the self-directed learning skills they need to succeed. \n  \n
