They happily move about the classroom while they carry and place (sometimes with no apparent destination)\, devise unique ways to use materials and equipment\, climb to different levels on the furniture and apparatus\, and transport all kinds of items from one side of the room to the other. As a result\, toddlers need an environment that supports their innate play patterns and encourages physical and cognitive development. \nIn this edWebinar\, Dr. Duncan discusses the research and theory to consider when designing a toddler early learning environment.

SUMMARY:Using the PLC at Work Process to Guide Effective\, Systematic Interventions
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Mike Mattos\, 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. \nHow does your school respond when students don’t learn? Compelling evidence shows that Response to Intervention (RTI) successfully engages school staff in a collective process to provide every child with the additional time and support they need to learn at high levels. Yet\, at many schools\, this potential lies dormant\, buried under layers of state regulations\, district protocols\, misguided priorities\, and traditional school practices misaligned with the essential elements of RTI. \nThe goal of this edWebinar is to show how the PLC at Work® process creates the larger schoolwide framework required to implement a highly effective Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS). Viewers learn: \n\nThree common mistakes schools and districts make when implementing RTI/MTSS\nTwo key actions that teacher teams can take at Tier 1 that will improve initial instruction and prepare for targeted\, effective Tier 2 interventions\n\nFor any PreK-12 educator\, school\, and/or district looking to close achievement gaps\, this is a must-see edWebinar. \n \nAbout the Presenter \nMike Mattos is an internationally recognized author\, presenter\, and practitioner who specializes in uniting teachers\, administrators\, and support staff to transform schools by implementing Response to Intervention and professional learning communities. Mike cocreated the RTI at Work™ model\, which builds on the foundation of the PLC at Work® process by using team structures and a focus on learning\, collaboration\, and results to drive successful outcomes. \n \nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nJoin the Accelerate Learning 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\nSince 1998\, Solution Tree has worked to empower educators.

Despite this theoretical understanding\, students from diverse backgrounds\, and those with diverse learning styles\, are often excluded from access to strong STEM programming. This is especially the case when it relates to computer science (CS) education experiences. Access to CS experiences and programming education has traditionally been reserved for on-track students with flexible schedules who attend schools with elective or extracurricular CS offerings. If we want ALL of our students to be able to equitably access these opportunities\, things must change. \nIn this edWebinar\, you hear from Yusra Obaid and Fred Valdez\, both experienced educators working with diverse student populations. You learn about the challenges they have faced in addressing the problem of equitable access to computer science education as well as solutions they have found to best support all learners. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 teachers\, school and district leaders\, and education technology leaders. \n \nAbout the Presenters \nIn her 14 years of being in education\, Yusra Obaid’s focus and passion have always been about empowering and supporting students in developing critical-thinking and problem-solving skills\, in order to surface the creativity and uniqueness of every student to shine and become creators of their future world. In the past five years of being in Bellevue\, Yusra has focused on teaching and collaborating with curriculum innovators and teachers to create original and effective CS/STEM curriculum experiences for all students. She has integrated and supported teachers in middle school and high school in integrating computer science concepts in science classes in order to address the opportunity gaps that exist related to student race and gender and students with disabilities. Yusra strongly believes that by doing this work we will ensure more equitable opportunities for all our students in future STEM jobs. \n \nFred Valdez is a teacher in the CASE (Community-based Alternative Secondary Education) program at Listowel District Secondary School in Listowel\, Ontario. As part of the Avon Maitland District School Board\, they service a growing minority group of Low German-speaking students\, homeschooled students and some Mennonite students. They have encouraged these families to try secondary education as a pathway to apprenticeships\, post-secondary education and pathways to various workplace opportunities. To help students gain technical skills\, Fred encourages STEAM projects in class and has used Blackbird coding with his students. \n \nMegan Turner\, M.Ed. is a career educator with a passion for providing equitable access to education for students of all backgrounds. She received her B.A. in political science from University of Mount Union where she also studied education. She taught at the high school level in Chicago Public Schools for over seven years and was struck by the significant literacy needs of her students. As a result\, she decided to pursue a Reading Specialist licensure and she earned her M.Ed. in reading from National Louis University. She later taught writing to elementary and middle school students at a school for students with dyslexia and other language-based learning differences. While there\, she co-authored a writing curriculum as well as a controlled text digital magazine for struggling readers. Her desire to see education and career opportunities made accessible to all students has led her to Blackbird where she is the education lead\, connecting teachers and students to cross-curricular coding opportunities. \n \nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nJoin the Computer Science & STEM Learning 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\nCreated to bridge the gap between introductory game-based curriculum and advanced computer science\, Blackbird is a turnkey cross-curricular coding education platform that makes it possible to teach coding equally to all students in core K-12 classes.
