So many of us have tried program after program\, approach after approach\, learning new strategies without feeling confident that we’ve put together a full\, workable system to serve kids’ needs. \nIn this edWebinar\, you hear about a few specific approaches to grammar instruction based on the latest research and refined by classroom observations. You come away with a handful of replicable\, fun\, low-prep ways to teach any grammar skill\, and you learn strategies to help kids transfer this instruction into all their writing\, all day long. Katy Wischow\, a co-author of the grammar extensions for the new Units of Study in Writing\, also takes you through an example of breaking down the state standards into meaningful instruction to support all writing. \nYou then learn about some of the most important ideas to consider when teaching spelling. Kara Arnold\, author of a brand-new set of spelling modules to support upper-elementary writers\, helps you think through assessing spelling in logical and manageable ways\, and then demonstrate the kinds of streamlined spelling instruction you might employ to help your students. You learn about a progression for teaching spelling as well as an armload of methods to teach common spelling generalizations. \nYou leave this session with a set of practical\, classroom-tested tools to use immediately!

But before interventions can be effective\, districts need to understand the why behind student absences\, and which factors they can best impact. With data and strategies directed at sense of belonging and teacher-student relationships\, districts can make school stick for every student. \nNew research from Panorama has studied 1.7 million students across 40+ states. The research estimates that around 20% of a student’s probability to be chronically absent is impacted by the school they attend—even when controlling for student characteristics\, learning needs\, and school poverty level. This promising statistic means that district leaders have levers in their locus of control to improve school climate and improve attendance. \nView this engaging edLeader Panel to hear from district leaders about how they: \n\nCapture and track data to understand which students need attendance support\nImplement Tier 1 practices to grow sense of belonging for all students\nIntegrate strategies in every classroom through effective staff training\n\nPlus\, the panelists share free toolkits\, blogs\, and other resources to get you started! This recorded edLeader Panel is of interest to K-12 teachers\, school leaders\, and district leaders. \n \n \nAbout the Presenter \nDr. Jodi Nocero has acted as the Oxnard School District Director of Pupil Services for the past 25 years.

SUMMARY:Family Engagement Unlocks the Power of Your MTSS Framework: 5 Fall Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Kate Pechacek\, K12 Strategic Advisor\, TalkingPoints\nModerated by Heather Dooley\, Senior Director of Brand Marketing and Communications\, TalkingPoints \nSponsored by TalkingPoints \nWatch the Recording\nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nThis edWebinar is the first in a three-part series about a groundbreaking approach that deploys family engagement as an effective intervention itself within a Multi-Tiered System of Supports\, rather than treating family engagement as a pillar within the framework. Family engagement is twice as likely to predict student success as a family’s socioeconomic status (Mapp & Henderson\, 2002). District leaders learn how to unlock significant student outcome gains by applying family engagement as a high-leverage strategy rather than a stand-alone initiative. \nThe summer months provide a powerful opportunity to establish strong foundations for the upcoming school year by building the trusting relationships with families that are essential to support improved outcomes. Effective family engagement is needed now more than ever to address the persistent challenges schools are facing—teacher recruitment and retention\, improved attendance\, and the well-being of students\, staff\, and families\, to name a few. \nJoin us to learn how to prepare for your most successful back to school yet by adopting a new paradigm for fundamentally shifting family engagement to be a true student-support strategy. This recorded edWebinar is of particular interest to K-12 district leaders. \nView part two: Strong Tier I Family Engagement to Ensure Student Outcomes: 5 Winter Strategies\nView part three: Strong Tier 2-3 Family Engagement to Ensure Student Outcomes: 5 Spring Strategies \n\n \n \nAbout the Presenter \nKate Pechacek currently serves as K12 Strategic Advisor to systems-improving edtech organizations and school districts\, including TalkingPoints\, and is the founder and CEO of OpendoorsEd. Prior to founding OpendoorsEd\, Kate served as Head of Impact at TalkingPoints\, one of several roles she has held in education technology over the last nine years.

Executive function skills help us control our impulses\, filter distractions\, plan and prioritize tasks\, and remember instructions. We are not born with these skills\, but every child has the potential to develop them\, beginning in early childhood! In this edWebinar\, we explore the many ways in which developmentally appropriate\, participatory\, and enjoyable music and movement activities can naturally support young children’s development of important self-regulation and executive function skills\, including attention control\, working memory\, cognitive flexibility\, and inhibitory control. \nViewers leave with a deeper understanding of the importance of executive functions to school and life success and how and why developmentally appropriate music and movement activities support children’s executive function and self-regulation skills in the early years. Educators\, regardless of their own music skills or experience\, gain new\, engaging\, and developmentally appropriate musical tools that they can use in their work with young children to support their self-regulation and executive function skills. Recent research is also explored. Come ready to learn and have some fun making music! \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to PreK-3 teachers\, school leaders\, and district leaders. \n \n \nAbout the Presenter \n​​​​Lili M.

While assessments are vital to measuring student growth\, progress starts by motivating students to read more with a holistic reading culture. \nDuring this edWebinar\, you gain insights into the comprehensive approach taken by leaders at South Carolina’s Richland County School District One to nurture a thriving reading culture. Presenters discuss the initiatives and partnerships implemented by individual schools to create unique reading environments and districtwide efforts\, including funding for books and book distributions. Additionally\, their Superintendent’s Book Club Challenge and collaboration between library and curriculum teams underscore their essential role in molding their reading community. \nViewers acquire practical strategies to shape a strong reading culture\, support literacy at the school librarian and classroom levels\, and engage in community partnerships with local libraries and institutions. This recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 building and district librarians\, teachers\, school leaders\, and district leaders. \n \n \nAbout the Presenters \nBorn in Kentucky and raised in South Carolina\, Travis Nelson is a former high school dropout who would go on to receive a BA in sociology and a master’s in library and information science from the University of South Carolina.
