SUMMARY:CompCON - A Comprehension Conference for K-12 Educators
DESCRIPTION:For students to succeed with today’s rigorous comprehension standards\, it will take more than read-alouds and class discussions. Real mastery comes when educators use explicit instruction to teach core thinking skills that can be applied to any text. \nWhen you join Kristina Smekens for CompCON\, you’ll learn how to make your whole-class instruction more explicit and more engaging. Plus\, we’ve set aside time for you to plan how and when you will teach the core comprehension standards for your grade level. \nWhen the conference is over\, you’ll walk away rejuvenated and ready for the new year. That’s because you will be armed with a yearlong playbook for teaching comprehension\, along with the tools and motivation to put best-practice strategies into action. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Back-to-School: The Power of Hands-On Math Games
DESCRIPTION:With back-to-school season approaching\, teachers are preparing for a new group of students with a new range of math ability levels. The search is on for engaging tasks to revisit prior learning\, as well as formative assessment options to determine students’ math strengths and needs.

During this free webinar\, we will explore the use of hands-on math games with manipulatives to revisit prior learning and gather information about students’ strengths and needs. \n  \nREGISTER

There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation. \n\nAbout the Presenter \nLindsay N.

SUMMARY:Shift from Deficit Thinking to a Strength-Based Approach in Education: The Time is Now
DESCRIPTION:Register Here \nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nFor too long\, the field of education has focused on what’s wrong—with students\, with staff\, and even with parents. This deficit thinking has created a powerful—and harmful—narrative within education that seems too enormous to shift away from. But this shift is possible. \nIn this insightful and thought-provoking edWebinar\, presenter Byron McClure\, Ed.D. will discuss the impact of deficit thinking on students and the need for educators to shift this narrative for more positive and successful student outcomes. Attendees will: \n\nIdentify the harmful patterns caused by deficit thinking\nLearn to self-reflect and self-correct\nBe inspired and energized to begin practically implementing a strength-based approach\, both professionally and personally\n\nNow\, more than ever\, is the time to shift away from what’s wrong to what’s strong in education. This edWebinar will be of interest to teachers\, librarians\, school and district leaders\, education technology leaders\, and school counselors and psychologists at all grade levels. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation. \n\nAbout the Presenters \nDr. Byron McClure is a Nationally Certified School Psychologist and the founder of Lessons For SEL\, where he uses research and human-centered design thinking to build empathy\, ideate\, co-create solutions\, and design equitable resources that put the needs of children front and center. He formerly served as the assistant director of school redesign at a high school in Southeast\, D.C.\, where he was responsible for leading and reimagining what social-emotional learning looked like within an inner-city community. \n\nDriven by a passion to advocate for the education needs of all learners\, Aleasha Stevens draws from a combined 25 years of experience as a leader in both the classroom and the boardroom to shepherd complex initiatives through to completion and develop scalable programs that can be easily replicated in diverse educational settings through her superior communication skills and proven ability to build collaborative teams across and beyond organizational boundaries.
