The nonprofit Fugees Family has reimagined schools for refugees and immigrants who are learning English\, offering specialized education and centering on soccer as a way to\, among other things\, create a sense of belonging.

To truly make a difference for students\, educators need to focus on what the evidence says\, and the evidence points to literacy. \nLiteracy is at the heart of educational equity\, and today\, too many students are still not able to read proficiently. Educators need better support\, resources\, and tools to teach reading in a way that helps ALL students learn. Students and their learning needs are diverse\, but we have the research on how to reach each and every one of them. That research is the Science of Reading\, which is brought into the classroom through Structured Literacy and differentiated instruction. \nWatch this edWebinar with educational experts Dr. Carrie Doom and Michele Pulver to learn what literacy instruction needs to be equitable\, and how to implement those proven\, equitable instructional practices in our classrooms and schools today. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to teachers and school and district leaders of the K-8 grades. \n\nAbout the Presenters \nDr. Carrie Doom has a passion for education and meeting the needs of struggling learners in literacy\, math\, and behavior. Dr. Doom started her career with rural school districts in Colorado and continued in urban and suburban schools in Clark County School District in Las Vegas\, Nevada as a PreK–12 special education teacher and special education liaison. She currently serves districts as the director of success management at Lexia Learning and has been supporting districts through Lexia and Voyager Sopris for the last 14 years. \n\nMichele Pulver has been in education and professional development for more than 20 years.

In such an environment\, schools need more and better tools to support their students\, and school leaders are looking for ways to update their current processes to meet the challenges of the moment. \nMany schools that incorporate social-emotional learning (SEL) into their instruction do so as a foundational support for their students\, but what interventions are available for those students who need more intensive support? How can SEL be integrated into school- and district-wide MTSS frameworks to ensure all students are getting not just the academic support they need\, but adequate social and emotional attention as well? \nWatch this edWebinar\, featuring MTSS expert Lindsee Fryatt and Blue Earth Area High School Principal Conan Shaffer\, as they break down how you can integrate SEL as a Tier 2 support in your MTSS framework.
