If all kids are doing the same thing the same way at the same time\, a change of course is warranted. Personalized learning is not about putting all kids in front of a device at the same time on an adaptive learning tool to “collect” data. It’s about a fundamental shift from the “what” to the “who” to emphasize personal ownership of learning through relevant contexts and applications. The goal is equity for all. In this session\, viewers explore blended strategies and examples on how to personalize learning with and without technology in any classroom. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to teachers\, school and district leaders\, and education technology leaders of the elementary and middle school grades. \n  \nAbout the Presenter \nEric Sheninger is an associate partner and thought leader on digital leadership with the International Center for Leadership in Education.

His efforts to implement technology as a mechanism for transforming teaching\, learning\, and community engagement have led to the formation of the Pillars of Digital Leadership\, a framework for all educators to initiate sustainable change to transform school cultures. Eric is the author of Digital Leadership: Changing Paradigms for Changing Times and UnCommon Learning: Creating Schools that Work for Kids. \n \nAbout the Moderator \nSiobhan Nordstrom is a senior product marketing manager for Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and is certified in Adult Continuing Education.

Educators and administrators need to find ways to make the change more manageable\, even within their existing environments with only the available resources. \nDuring this edWebinar\, educators receive a quick summary of the current movement in education towards structured literacy. They are then introduced to practical approaches for shifting mindset and instruction\, in areas such as reading groups/centers\, planning methods\, daily routines\, and educational materials—all without needing to overspend or overwhelm. \nThe gentle shift is a mindset and a path for all educators who might be struggling with where to begin. Essentially\, the transformation begins with educators\, not with programs or packaged materials. These realistic approaches give educators the tools to start shifting practices effectively and to construct a strong foundation to achieve the desired results for their students. \nThis recorded edWebinar helps TK-3 educators initiate a successful adoption of evidence-based reading practices. \n \nAbout the Presenter \nElise Lovejoy is the founder and CEO of Express Readers\, a TK-2nd-grade foundational skills and reading program. Express Readers’ mission is to provide the highest quality of resources and the fullest extent of teacher support\, all with the outcome of higher literacy rates and more engaged readers—anchored in the belief that “every child deserves to learn to read.” Elise holds a BA and an MA in elementary education with 15+ years of experience in the classroom\, grades K-2nd grade. During her teaching\, Elise became frustrated at the lack of quality decodable books and resources created by educators who understood realistic applications in classrooms. She threw herself into research and studies to author a large collection of decodable books\, design a full foundational skills curriculum\, and form a teacher-run company\, which now supports hundreds of schools across the U.S. and Canada. \n \nAbout the Moderator \nErica Vuolle is the educator engagement coordinator at EdCuration. She is a committed educator with ten years’ experience inspiring elementary and middle school students\, transforming classroom cultures\, and implementing effective programs.

SUMMARY:Improving Executive Function Skills Through Task Planning and Time Management
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Renaud Boisjoly\, Chief Product Officer\, Studyo \nSponsored by Studyo \nWatch the Recording\nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nWe often focus on students with special challenges when teaching organization skills and time management\, but according to the Universal Design for Learning principle\, all students can benefit from strategies we typically use with these unique students. This edWebinar focuses on how learning to plan helps students build a metacognitive view of their workload\, and students with strong metacognitive skills are positioned to learn more and perform better (e.g.\, Wang et al.\, 1990). \nDuring the edWebinar\, we explore specific planning skills and how they can help students be more aware of their workload and how they can use this knowledge to improve their time-management skills. All this ties into executive function skills such as organization\, planning\, shifting\, and initiating\, to name a few. At the end of the session\, viewers should have a clear set of strategies they can use in class to help students improve their metacognitive skills and foster improved executive function skills. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to middle and high school teachers\, librarians\, school and district leaders\, and education technology leaders.  \n \nAbout the Presenter \nRenaud Boisjoly is the chief product officer of Studyo. After working with students and teachers in classrooms\, schools\, and districts for close to 25 years\, focusing on driving technology adoption through pedagogical objectives\, the new digital era raised the question of student agency and responsibility. Basing himself on action research on brain development and executive function skills\, he built the first version of the Studyo planner which empowered students with tools to plan and break down their work. \n \nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nJoin the The Brain and Learning community to network with educators\, participate in online discussions\, and receive invitations to upcoming edWebinars. \n\n \nStudyo helps students\, teachers and parents work together to improve executive function skills.

One of the silver linings is that the impact of parent engagement in a child’s school day has risen in visibility. Decades of research tell us this is key to a child’s academic achievement and agency\, and in igniting aspirations. \nDeveloping a student’s agency builds critical thinking\, gives them a voice to ask for help when navigating hurdles\, and allows them to share their struggles and joys to look forward and better understand their possibilities. Harnessing family engagement through student agency opens a window for parents to see their child’s struggles and joys\, guide and support their child’s strengths\, and feel connected as a family. \nIn this edWebinar\, Andy Danilchick\, Co-founder and Director of The Project for Mental Health and Optimal Development at the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education\, shares the impact of harnessing parent engagement and empowering student voice as pathways to academic achievement\, social-emotional development\, student advocacy\, and overall mental health for students\, and the impact that has in the classroom. Key takeaways include: \n\nConsistent parent/family engagement plays a critical role in students’ academic\, social\, and emotional learning\nStudent voice has the power to identify a child’s struggles\, joys\, and possibilities and change the trajectory of their future\nStudent agency\, when connected with parent engagement outside of the classroom\, has results that lead to higher education\, career opportunities\, and life preparedness\n\nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 teachers\, school and district leaders\, librarians\, education technology leaders\, and school counselors. \n \nAbout the Presenters \nAndy Danilchick is the director of Penn GSE’s Project for Mental Health and Optimal Development.
