As a student turned educator\, Dr. Anderson believes since learning doesn’t occur in a vacuum\, educators must actively engage in teaching methods\, practices\, and interventions that fit their students’ unique needs. Thus\, Dr. Anderson uses his inside vantage point of dyslexia to assist peer-educators in laying a learning foundation for differently abled students to meet their specific needs. Please watch as Dr. Anderson shares some of his experiences and tips to help educators succeed with dyslexic students. \nThis recorded edWebinar will be of interest to K-12 teachers\, librarians\, and school and district leaders.  \n \nAbout the Presenter \nDr. Keyon L. Anderson has encountered and overcome many hardships while seeking a better future for himself and his family. Despite being the first in his immediate family to graduate from high school\, he now holds two degrees in social work from California State University\, Long Beach (CSULB). He also completed his Doctor of Education in educational leadership at the University of Southern California (USC) Rossier School of Education. For the past decade\, he has worked with students and families as they navigate the college admissions and financial aid process. \nDr. Anderson’s education\, professional\, and entrepreneurship experiences have provided him with a special knack for helping students reach their fullest potential and guiding them through the college admission process. These experiences have also aided in helping him understand the importance of parent education and engagement in ensuring their children’s collegiate preparation and success. \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. \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.

You don’t tolerate being mistreated and you don’t put your head down and ignore injustice against yourself or others. Unfortunately\, for many immigrants and refugees\, the audacity of equality has not yet been realized. In this edWebinar\, award-winning principal and literacy advocate Dr. Don Vu examines these questions: \n\nHow can educators help instill the audacity of equality in all students?\nHow do we help them develop a sense of pride for who they are and help them understand their importance in America?\nHow do we empower them so that when they do face injustice and discrimination\, they will know to stand up and fight it?\n\nAs is often the case\, the power of literacy can play a critical role in helping these students. With skyrocketing hate crimes against Asian Americans and other immigrant groups\, this is a timely conversation and one that will impact our work in schools and communities. \nThis recorded edWebinar will be of interest to teachers\, librarians\, and school and district leaders of the kindergarten through elementary levels. \n \nAbout the Presenter \nDr. Don Vu has been an elementary school teacher and principal for 24 years. Dr. Vu and his former school staff chartered a literacy campaign in 2013 to foster the love of reading in all students. In 2017\, he received the Celebrate Literacy Award from the California Reading Association for his outstanding leadership in literacy. In 2018\, his school was one of five schools nationally to receive the Exemplary Reading Program Award from the International Literacy Association (ILA). In 2020\, the school received the California Distinguished School Award for its work in closing the opportunity gap for all kids. \nDr. Vu understands the challenges children face when learning a new language and culture\, having fled Vietnam with his family in 1975. He also knows that reading can be transformative and life changing.

Rural districts have unique challenges\, ranging from poverty and sizeable travel distances to a lack of affordable\, reliable and robust internet access. However\, since rural school districts tend to have smaller student populations\, they can also leverage unique opportunities. Rural districts may be nimbler when it comes to dealing with change and frequently have strong community involvement. Teacher retention can also be comparatively strong. \nWatch the conversation with four rural school district superintendents as they discuss the challenges and opportunities that are unique to rural school districts when leading digital transformations that change how teachers teach and students learn\, as well as impact the way school districts operate. Each superintendent also shares the leadership strategies and technology tools they have implemented during the past year in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic to assure that all students in their districts continue learning. Plans for how the schools in these rural school districts will operate during the 2021-2022 school year will also be reviewed. \nThis recorded edWebinar will be of particular value to school superintendents\, K-12 school and district leaders\, and aspiring leaders. \n \nAbout the Presenters \nDr. Peter Aiken is currently the superintendent of Manheim Central School District.
