In some districts\, the use of artificial intelligence tools has been banned\, and websites blocked. Apple Watches are now banned in some districts\, and the use of browsers on tablets and computers is “locked down” to prevent exploration outside of specific curriculum topics. \nIn this research-driven\, provocative edLeader Panel\, moderator Kevin Baird\, Chairman at the Global Center for College & Career Readiness\, leads viewers through best practices and engages attendees in discussion and debate. \nA survey accompanying the edLeader Panel will be used as part of a national research study\, published with a major university. All respondents who participate in the National Best Practices Survey – Device Management in Public K-12 Spaces will receive the research and will be invited to the research briefing when completed. \nWe know we have to do better—for our students. Engagement\, distraction-free learning\, and safe but cutting-edge technology integration are more essential now than ever before\, while we balance the expectations of parents and communities. How do we provide “freedom within a framework”? We need your input\, and national education leadership needs to hear your voice.

SUMMARY:The Heavy Hitters of Intermediate Literacy: Multisyllabic Decoding and Morphology
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Laura Stewart\, Chief Academic Officer\, 95 Percent Group; Dr. Mary Dahlgren\, Founder\, Tools 4 Reading\, and Literacy Executive in Residence\, 95 Percent Group; and Dr. Antonio Fierro\, Vice President of Professional Learning and Academics\, 95 Percent Group \nSponsored by 95 Percent Group \nWatch the Recording\nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nAs students move into the upper elementary grades\, there is a notable difference in the type of words they are being asked to read and understand. Not only do students need to be adept at decoding multisyllabic words\, but they must also have strategies for unlocking the meanings of unfamiliar words. To equip students with the rigorous demands of complex text in these grades\, we need to bring out the “heavy hitters” of intermediate word work: multisyllabic decoding routines and morphology. \nThe upper elementary grades are critical years to continue laying the strong foundation for lifelong literacy. The foundational skills don’t end in third grade; our experts illustrate how to expand that foundation with more sophisticated tools to move our students into the sophisticated text demands they will meet in school and beyond. \nDuring this applicable edWebinar\, our experts showcase efficient instruction to get the job done: replicable\, reliable routines to teach our students to fearlessly attack big words while building morphological understandings to accelerate vocabulary growth. \nWe hope you join us! This recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 teachers and school and district leaders. \n \n \nAbout the Presenters \nLaura Stewart is an educator and organizational leader.

SUMMARY:The Knowledge Gap: How It Affects Reading Performance and How to Fix It
DESCRIPTION:Presented by John Carroll\, GM\, K12 Curriculum Services; and Natalie Wexler\, Consultant and Author \nSponsored by XanEdu\, a Scholarus Learning Company \nWatch the RecordingListen to the Podcast \nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nOur students’ performance on the whole on national reading tests has not improved over the past two decades (NAEP\, 2023). More troubling\, the gap in scores between socioeconomic groups has remained stubbornly wide. \nRecent reform efforts have focused on improving instruction in phonics and other foundational skills. That’s crucial\, but the evidence indicates it’s not enough. We also need to change our approach to reading comprehension to take account of a key factor that has long been overlooked: knowledge. \nSome students are better able to acquire knowledge of the world outside of school beginning at birth\, enabling them to read more complex text. Others rely on school for that kind of knowledge. If they don’t start acquiring it early\, the gap between “good” and “poor” readers only grows wider as grades go up. \nView this edWebinar to hear Natalie Wexler\, education journalist and author of The Knowledge Gap: The Hidden Cause of America’s Broken Education System—and How to Fix It\, share the research along with her insights and perspectives on how we can give all students access to the kind of knowledge that enables reading comprehension—and learning in general. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 teachers\, librarians\, and school and district leaders and is part of the Leading by Design: 6 Initiatives You Can’t Afford to Get Wrong district leadership series where you learn from leaders who are pulling together the elements of successful schooling. \n\n \nAbout the Presenters \nJohn Carroll joined XanEdu\, now a part of the Scholarus Learning group of companies\, as the GM\, K12 Curriculum Services. In his role\, John is responsible for the strategic vision and implementation of XanEdu’s K-12 product roadmap and its content/curriculum vision. John has over 15 years of edtech experience in the K-12 school market including product management\, marketing\, and strategy roles at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt\, McGraw Hill Education\, Pearson School\, and Scholastic. John holds a BA in economics from Tufts University and an MBA from Northeastern University. \n \nNatalie Wexler is an education writer and the author of The Knowledge Gap: The Hidden Cause of America’s Broken Education System—and How to Fix It (Avery\, 2019). She is also the co-author\, with Judith C. Hochman\, of The Writing Revolution: A Guide to Advancing Thinking Through Writing in All Subjects and Grades (Jossey-Bass\, 2017)\, and the host of Reading Comprehension Revisited\, a six-episode series for the Knowledge Matters Podcast.

Dr. Warren is known for her ability to bring diverse perspectives to the table and promote student-centered\, equity-focused practices at all levels of operations. In addition to supervising schools serving grades PreK-12\, she leads equity and inclusion efforts for PPS with partners such as Mindful Schools. \n \nSeewan Eng is passionate about empowering educators and building cultures and systems that sustain resilience\, compassion\, liberation\, and justice in schools. She believes that mindfulness was a missing piece during her nine years as a middle school teacher\, and that having a personal practice would have empowered her to foster a braver and more loving classroom community where all students were thriving. Seewan has led teams bridging research to practice at WestEd and supporting assets-based coaching and professional development models at New Teacher Center. Today as Executive Director of Mindful Schools\, she is honored to be creating conditions for educator well-being and a more sustainable\, thriving school culture. She received a B.A. from Brown\, an Ed.M. from Harvard\, National Board Certification\, and is a 2023 Pahara Fellow. \n\nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nJoin the Mental Health and Wellness 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\n \nMindful Schools has trained over 70\,000 educators and currently works in 500 schools across the country\, where we are helping school communities become the best version of themselves. We guide educators to practice\, apply\, and embody mindfulness in their day-to-day interactions so they can nurture social and emotional well-being\, strengthen relationships\, and help all students thrive. \nMindfulness is a simple\, accessible\, and profound entry point for addressing the disconnect between what overwhelmed educators know and what they have capacity to do. Through our courses\, curriculum\, and consulting work\, we support school leaders to make a lasting change. Together\, educators learn to manage stress\, become aware of and address bias\, create trauma-sensitive classrooms\, and cultivate resilient communities of belonging\, inclusion\, and well-being.
