CoherentED firmly believes that every school system’s approach to the teaching and learning engagement of our youngest learners is critical. By attending the webinars with Dr. Clabaugh and Ms. Drezner\, which is a learning space for UPK leaders and educators to develop and evaluate UPK plans that keep the learners and their families in the center of their thinking\, they learn ways to approach the outcomes and make decisions that meet the diverse needs of young learners. We believe that implementing Universal Preschool well will lead to greater equity and opportunities to stop doing school TO kids and start doing school WITH kids!™

You may be wondering: When should I talk to my students about it? What are the relevant issues I should bring up? How do I make these conversations fun and engaging? How do I include parents in these conversations? \nIt is never too early to talk to your kids about their digital lives and to help them practice digital citizenship. Research shows kids are getting access to devices at a younger age and that tech plays a role in almost every aspect of their lives—from how they connect with friends to how they learn at school. \nCommon Sense Education just launched the Meet the Digital Citizens series to help kids get to know the friendly characters even better. Each lesson plan connects a character to a foundational digital citizenship concept in a way that’s easy for younger kids to understand. In this edWebinar\, the presenters talk through how these new lessons can be integrated into daily routines\, SEL initiatives\, and family engagement. Additionally\, they discuss other ways to use these free lessons to build a positive classroom culture and integrate digital citizenship into bite-sized activities. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-3 teachers\, librarians\, and school leaders. \n\nAbout the Presenters \nErikk Henderson-Hood is an education content manager at Common Sense Education with the Digital Citizenship Team.

SUMMARY:The Metacognitive Student: How to Teach Academic\, Social\, and Emotional Intelligence in Every Content Area
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Richard K. Cohen\, Author and Educational Speaker\, Solution Tree \nSponsored by Solution Tree \nWatch the Recording\nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nToday\, more K-12 students are dealing with more academic\, social\, and emotional stressors than ever before. Students of all ages are becoming more and more dependent upon adults to calm their emotions\, complete challenging academic tasks\, and resolve social conflicts that arise each day. There is just not enough time for the adults at school to help every child in need. \nView this edWebinar to see how one simple\, evidence-based\, metacognitive strategy develops every student into an autonomous critical thinker and problem solver across academic content areas and social and emotional contexts. With just an eye-dropper dose of the metacognitive strategy called “Structured SELf-Questioning” sprinkled into already-existing daily routines\, classroom management systems\, and every academic state standards-aligned curriculum\, student outcomes and independence dramatically increase. You also see video examples of preschoolers being aware of and managing their emotions. Learn a practical way to engage all K-12 students in self-directed learning and take away ideas and reproducibles for practical applications in your classroom tomorrow to develop your students as the CEOs of their own brains\, emotions\, and learning. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 teachers and school and district leaders. \n  \nAbout the Presenter \nRichard K.

SUMMARY:Supporting Literacy for Students with Dyslexia and Developmental Language Disorder: Understanding for All
DESCRIPTION:Presented by John Bennetts\, National Literacy Consultant and Curriculum Consultant\, Bennetts Educational Consulting and Lexia Learning \nSponsored by Lexia Learning \nWatch the Recording\nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nStudents come to the classroom with different needs. Some students require no additional instructional support from teachers when learning to read\, while others need scaffolding and differentiation to master decoding and comprehension skills. For those students with learning disabilities like dyslexia and developmental language disorder (DLD)\, teacher understanding of how these students’ brains process information is vital for effective learning. \nWhen teachers have the knowledge and resources to help these students learn how to decode the written word and understand spoken language\, their students can access literacy. During this edWebinar\, viewers learn about these learning disabilities\, how to identify signs that students may have them\, and gain actionable skills they can use in the classroom to support their students with dyslexia and DLD. Watch as John Bennetts unpacks learning disabilities in the classroom and how to best support students. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to teachers\, school and district leaders\, and education technology leaders of all grade levels. \n\nAbout the Presenter \nJohn Bennetts is a national literacy consultant who works with rural and urban school districts across the country. His work focuses on supporting schools and school districts in implementing instructional practices and systems that align with and are supported by the Science of Reading. In addition to consulting\, John serves as a curriculum consultant for Lexia Learning.
