SUMMARY:Ready For Reading: Preparing Elementary Teachers for Their Most Important Job
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Kate Walsh\, President\, National Council on Teacher Quality\nModerated by Terrie Noland\, Ph.D.\, CALP\, Vice President\, Educator Initiatives\, Learning Ally \nSponsored by Learning Ally \nWatch the Recording\nClosed captioning will be added to the recording within 2 weeks of the live presentation. Get a CE Certificate for this edWebinar Learn more. \nTeaching a child how to read is the single most important job of an elementary school teacher\, as third-grade reading proficiency marks a critical juncture in a child’s success in later grades and has implications for future life outcomes. However\, particularly troubling survey findings from the EdWeek Research Center indicate only 11% of elementary teachers felt completely prepared to teach reading at the conclusion of their pre-service preparation. What is the quality of early reading instruction in teacher preparation? \nIn this edWebinar\, watch Kate Walsh\, President of the National Council on Teacher Quality\, alongside Terrie Noland of Learning Ally\, for an illuminating look into major trends in teacher preparation\, the slow-going uptake of reading instruction aligned to the evidence\, and the imperative need for quality pre-service instruction for educators. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to researchers\, reading advocates\, prospective teachers\, current teachers\, and leaders in the field of teacher education.  \n \nAbout the Presenter \nKate Walsh has served as the president of the National Council on Teacher Quality since 2003. Driven by the belief that relevant\, broadly accessible\, comparative data can transform teacher quality\, Kate has spearheaded efforts to instill greater transparency and higher standards among those institutions that exert influence and authority over teachers: states\, districts\, and teacher preparation programs. Notably\, she produced the first-ever report card on the quality of the nation’s teacher preparation programs. A relentless advocate for equitable access to great teachers\, Kate’s work has been widely featured in The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, USA Today\, NPR\, and PBS NewsHour\, among others. \nPreviously\, Kate worked as a program officer with The Abell Foundation in Baltimore\, as well as the Baltimore City Public Schools and the Core Knowledge Foundation. Among her accomplishments\, she started and ran an innovative boarding school located in Kenya\, East Africa serving middle-school-age boys facing significant challenges in their school and home lives. A long-time resident of Baltimore\, Kate and her husband have four grown children now scattered across the globe. \n \nAbout the Moderator \nListen. Learn. Teach. It’s that simple. Terrie Noland uses this philosophy as an innovator and a motivator\, and it’s evident as she leads\, coaches and mentors thousands of K-12 educators about the science of reading each year. She has a unique perspective on the need to unify all stakeholders around a vision for education to smash the reading divide for the millions of struggling readers. Her daily mission is to add value to educators to help influence transformational changes in school districts across the country by addressing the needs of marginalized students. Terrie seeks to share her expertise and passion to encourage and to illuminate a path towards success and measurable outcomes. \nIf you looked at Terrie’s resume\, you would be confused. Her undergraduate and graduate degree work placed her in the field of criminal justice. However\, it was through continuous listening and learning that led her on a journey in education starting out in preschool teaching and administration\, then becoming a Certified Academic Language Practitioner (CALP) and earning a Ph.D. in literacy and educational leadership from St. John’s University. Terrie is also a John Maxwell certified speaker and coach. \nAs Vice President of Educator Initiatives at Learning Ally\, Terrie works to ignite enthusiasm and excitement by building champion educators and administrators on creating cultures of literacy and learning. \n \nClosed captioning will be added to the recording within 2 weeks of the live presentation.  \nJoin the Empowering Struggling Readers 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\nLearning Ally is a leading education solutions organization committed to transforming the lives of struggling learners.

Get a CE Certificate for this edWebinar Learn more \nAs students return to a hopefully more typical school year\, learning is likely to be anything but typical. Student and teacher experiences over the past 18 months have varied greatly and classrooms are filled with students representing a wider range of learning needs than ever before. The challenge for teachers is to help each student move their mathematics learning forward. While it will take time for most students to return to typical “on-grade-level” expectations\, we must support students to move forward rather than picking up instruction where “regular school” left off in March 2020. Responding to this wide range of learners is part of the job in education; the pandemic has made this part of the work more prominent in many classrooms. \nIn this second edWebinar of a two-part series\, Sara Delano Moore\, Ph.D. shares tasks and strategies for continuing to emphasize the mathematical practice and process standards while teaching grade-appropriate content. More open-ended tasks provide opportunities for students to apply mathematics in a variety of settings and develop their skills around representing mathematical ideas and arguments. These tasks also provide contexts for the accelerated learning introduced in part one of the series. Join Sara to explore instructional strategies and tasks to develop the practices while emphasizing current content. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to teachers and school and district leaders at the elementary level. \nReturning to Rigorous Mathematics\, Part 1: Using Spaced Practice to Accelerate Learning \n \nAbout the Presenter \nSara Delano Moore\, Ph.D. serves as Vice President for Content and Research and Chair of the Mathematics Advisory Board at ORIGO Education.

Get a CE Certificate for this edWebinar Learn more \nSpatial visualization (SV) is the ability to think in 3D. Did you know that up to 60% of students in STEM programs have weak SV skills? This skills gap can lead to difficulty in engineering\, technology\, and science classes which require proficiency with 3D thinking. Thankfully\, studies have shown that SV skills are teachable and improve student outcomes in STEM fields. SV training is especially beneficial for women and other underrepresented populations that may have had less experience in playing with building toys as children and find themselves at a disadvantage when entering STEM fields. \nSketching 2D and 3D shapes is the recommended approach to improving SV skills. Sketching is also important for creativity\, project-based learning\, and teamwork. However\, few curricula include this training\, and many educators don’t know where to begin. \nIn this edWebinar\, viewers learn: \n\nBest practices for how to easily incorporate SV and sketching training into any STEM class\nHow student persistence can be measured and increased with sketching assignments\nHow teachers can improve their own SV skills without learning CAD\nHow the Spatial Vis software\, which is free for teachers\, teaches SV with engaging sketching assignments\, automatic grading\, and personalized feedback\n\nThis reocrded edWebinar is of interest to teachers\, librarians\, school and district leaders\, CTE directors\, and STEM coordinators and teachers at the middle school\, high school\, and higher education levels. \n \nAbout the Presenters \nLelli Van Den Einde\, Ph.D. is a teaching professor in structural engineering at the University of California San Diego and Co-founder and President of eGrove Education.

Critical capabilities that include empathy\, grit\, persistence\, flexibility\, and adaptability shape mindsets which enhance successful learning\, collaboration and problem-solving. Though these aspects of learning have always been important\, the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic heightened the need to address the social and emotional aspects of learning\, not only for students and their families\, but also for teachers\, school leaders and administrators. The use of technology to meet these social and emotional essentials has also been heightened over the past months. Today educators are challenged to think about how technology can enhance and/or diminish the social-emotional needs they must address. \nIn this edWebinar\, three innovative\, compassionate superintendents share how they address the social and emotional needs of the students\, staff\, and families in their school districts. They each review the strategies and practices they are leading in their districts to leverage technology tools to address the challenges of social-emotional learning. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of particular value to superintendents\, K-12 school and district leaders\, and aspiring school leaders. \n  \nAbout the Presenters \nDr. M.

As a response to the needs of educators to understand how to make their edtech more accessible to all students\, Educating All Learners Alliance (EALA)\, an organization dedicated to equity for complex learners\, was formed and stepped up to curate resources. Its free Tech Tool Library\, for example\, is designed for educators to understand how to turn on the accessibility features that already exist within the tools they are using in the classroom\, explore new accessible edtech products\, and help schools and families find better solutions to meet their learners’ unique needs. \nThis edWebinar features two EALA co-founding organizations\, Digital Promise and InnovateEDU\, as well as Newsela\, an edtech tool to promote inquiry-based learning with inclusive content\, to discuss the role we are asking tech to play\, why it is important to consider the whole child and their learner variability\, and how teachers can become part of the school or district’s edtech decision-making process. \nA Learner Variability Project national survey of American public school parents and teachers found that teachers more comfortable with edtech were significantly less likely to say the pandemic has worsened their ability to work with each student’s learner variability. Yet\, as our speakers address\, before developing a comfort with edtech is the need to understand the why within each student—their variability that can change over time and context. \nIn this edWebinar\, we discuss: \n\nHow equity\, accessibility\, and supporting the whole learner gives products more opportunities to address the needs of the full diversity of learners\nResources for teachers on how they can enable features that make tools they use more accessible\nAccess to clear and trustworthy information about edtech to ensure teachers can easily find tools that align with their priorities\nInternal school district decision-making processes for tech tool selection\n\nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to preK-12 teachers\, librarians\, school and district leaders\, ELL educators\, and those involved in the edtech community.  \n \nAbout the Presenters \nErin Mote is the executive director of InnovateEDU and co-founder of Brooklyn Laboratory Charter School (LAB).
