This is a subtle but significant distinction. Our class periods and reading blocks are often filled with students reading passages\, discussing texts\, and answering questions. And as important as these experiences are\, none of them count as explicit teaching. \nIn this recorded edWebinar\, viewers will learn what explicit\, whole-class comprehension instruction really looks like and how to effectively scaffold mini lessons within the rest of the reading block to honor the gradual release of responsibility. \nLearning objectives include: \n\nAcknowledge the purpose that various reading experiences serve within the reading block/ELA class period\nClarify teaching skills and modeling thinking versus simply assigning reading and asking questions\nIdentify the specific and explicit information that must be revealed in every K-12 comprehension lesson\n\nThis recorded edWebinar will be of interest to K-12 teachers and school and district leaders. \n\nAbout the Presenters \nKristina Smekens has built a reputation for using enthusiasm\, humor\, and common sense to equip K-12 educators with practical\, demystifying strategies for teaching reading and writing.

Get a CE Certificate for this edWebinar Learn more. \nEmerging from pandemic schooling\, it is tempting to return to routine academics in the name of learning recovery and acceleration. Instead\, research suggests the first priority should be (re)establishing student connectedness with empathy and inclusiveness foremost. Student self-view\, intrinsic motivations\, and well-being are critical to their readiness to learn in fall 2021 and beyond. \nWatch experts and practitioners in part one of this two-part edWebinar series on how to build an SEL program and integrate instructional practices that recognize social-emotional well-being as the fuse to learning recovery and ongoing student success.

We define SEL\, outline research evidence\, identify key system components\, and share what makes for successful district and school programs. \nIn part two of this series\, we focus on the classroom and share best practices and success stories for authentically integrating social-emotional learning into the curriculum\, so students don’t even know they are eating their “wellness spinach.” Information will follow when part two is scheduled. \nThis edWebinar will be of interest to K-12 teachers and school and district leaders.  \n \nAbout the Presenters \nSara LaHayne is the founder and CEO of Move This World\, a social-emotional learning program that provides PreK-12 students\, educators\, and families with multimedia experiences empowering students to navigate the rapidly changing realities of their world—both in the classroom and throughout their lives.

These challenges can impact functional living skills and educational experience by limiting the ability to learn new skills\, participating in groups\, and completing daily routines independently. When students have difficulty understanding language and expressing themselves\, they may demonstrate unexpected behaviors to communicate their frustration and their needs. Caregivers and teaching staff can learn strategies that enable students to use supports to understand language\, as well as use skills to communicate in daily routines. Once students learn the power of understanding language and communication\, they will be more likely to use these skills independently. \nIn this recorded edWebinar\, explore the underlying causes of communication differences in students with autism and other developmental delays. Considering the impact language deficits have on student behaviors\, the presenters share and delve into a variety of free resources that can be used in the home or school setting to increase desired behaviors. Video examples and practical tips will be shared so that participants leave with various ideas to teach students the power of language in daily routines. \nThis recorded edWebinar will be of interest to PreK-12 teachers\, school leaders\, district leaders\, and caregivers of students with autism. \n \nAbout the Presenter \nAimee Dearmon is a speech and language pathologist and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst who has over 15 years of experience serving students with autism and other developmental delays in public\, private and home settings. In addition to providing workshops and training in schools across the country and Puerto Rico\, Aimee works with STAR Autism Support to manage and develop large projects. Her work includes developing workshops\, building training sites\, and coaching staff to successfully implement The STAR Program and Links Curriculum in several states\, regions\, and districts. \n \nClosed captioning will be added to the recording within 2 weeks of the live presentation. \nJoin the Teaching Students with Autism 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\nSTAR Autism Support (SAS) provides curriculum materials\, workshops and training to school and agency staff who work with students with autism.
