SUMMARY:Teaching Twice-Exceptional Learners in Today's Classroom
DESCRIPTION:This specialized learning session in gifted education meets the following competencies outlined by The Ohio Department of Education: \n\nProvide an extension or replacement of the general education curricula\, to modify the learning process through strategies such as curriculum compacting\, and to select alternative assignments and projects based on individual student needs\nUnderstand the social and emotional needs of students who are gifted and to address the impact of those needs on student learning.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImportant Session Information:\n\nTwice-exceptional (2e) learners have often been misunderstood\, disciplined\, unchallenged\, and left behind. They’re called lazy and unmotivated. But they’re not: a diagnosis such as a learning disability\, ADHD\, autism spectrum disorder\, or anxiety masks their giftedness. Or their giftedness blocks educators from seeing their struggles. \nOften\, educators don’t have the tools to meet their needs. Emily Kirchner-Morris\, in her book Teaching Twice-Exceptional Learners in Today’s Classroom helps bridge that gap. In this self-paced book study participants will explore real life stories and examples to better understand and/or implement: \n• How giftedness and disability intersect \n• Strategies for supporting the specific needs of 2E learners \n• Interventions based on the various labels or diagnoses 2Elearners may have \n• The strengths and struggles that come with each exceptionality \n• Information that will help determine the appropriate services\, accommodations\, modifications\, and collaborations with other educational professionals through Section 504 plans or IEPs

SUMMARY:Returning to Rigorous Mathematics\, Part 2: Strengthening Student Thinking with the Practice and Process Standards
DESCRIPTION:As 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. will share 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 edWebinar will be of interest to teachers and school and district leaders at the elementary level. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation. \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. A fourth-generation educator\, Sara’s work emphasizes the power of deep understanding and multiple representations for learning mathematics. Her interests include building mathematical comprehension and operation sense\, incorporating high-quality literature into mathematics instruction\, and connecting mathematics with engineering design and computational thinking. Sara has served as a classroom teacher of mathematics and science\, a mathematics teacher educator at the University of Kentucky\, Director of the Kentucky Center for Middle School Academic Achievement\, and Director of Mathematics & Science at ETA Hand2Mind.

SUMMARY:Purposeful Read Alouds in Middle Grades
DESCRIPTION:These one-hour virtual sessions take a deep dive into a specific topic. Each session will include an introduction to the topic\, some connected readings\, time for conversation and questions. Participants will leave with some new thinking and some resources to expand their thinking following the session. Note: Sessions are provided at no cost for member districts. The opportunity for continued individual conversation/coaching is available for a fee. Purposeful Read Alouds in Middle Grades. Read Aloud is no longer a time for children to settle down after recess and listen in a passive manner. Instead\, it is a time for the reading community to come together and think together around a common book. During the course of the school year\, a class can experience 6-10 chapter books together while still allowing time for other elements of literacy instruction. It is important that these books be carefully chosen and that there are routines in place for students to grow as readers\, knowing they each may access the common text in a different way. A zoom link will be emailed to registrants. Questions about the content? Please contact Jill Reinhart at Jill.Reinhart@escco.org. Questions about registration? Please contact Jessica Seymour at Jessica.Seymour@escco.org.

SUMMARY:Gateways to Success in STEM:  Sketching and Spatial Visualization
DESCRIPTION:Spatial 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\, attendees will 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 edWebinar will be 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. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation. \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. She incorporates integrated pedagogical innovations such as peer instruction\, flipped classroom\, and project-based learning into core structural engineering courses; prepares and advises next-generation faculty; advises student organizations; and is committed to activities that broaden the participation of underrepresented groups in STEM and foster a supportive environment for diverse students. Her research focuses on engagement strategies for large classrooms and developing K-16 curricula in earthquake engineering and spatial visualization. \n\nLizzy Cowan has a cognitive science background and is the user experience researcher and designer at eGrove Education\, Inc. She has been developing spatial visualization and sketching products for seven years and has a deep understanding of the unique challenges students face when learning these skills. She focuses on creating an engaging and personalized learning experience for students and valuable resources for educators. Additionally\, she provides sales and technical support to instructors using the Spatial Vis software in their classrooms. \n\nTo participate in the live edWebinar\, log in with current version of Google Chrome or install the meeting app prior to the edWebinar on your computer\, your Apple device\, or Android device.  If you have a firewall in your location\, you can participate on your mobile device using your cellular data (not your local network). \nRegister

SUMMARY:The Magic of Music and Movement in Early Childhood Education
DESCRIPTION:This hands-on\, participatory edWebinar will bring to teachers a new perspective on using music with children. They will see the connection between music and movement and the active nature of the child\, as well as how music can effectively be used to meet the cognitive\, emotional\, social and physical needs of young children. \nThe goal of the session is to reaffirm the use of music in the classroom by showing how\, when combined with movement\, it can be a vital and powerful tool in the education of children. To illustrate this\, Stephen Fite will break music down into three essential elements—Rhythm\, Repetition\, and Melody—and discuss how each part affects us individually. When music and movement are combined\, children are more likely to participate\, but more importantly\, will retain more information for a longer period of time. \nThis edWebinar will be of interest to anyone involved in early childhood education. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation. \n\nAbout the Presenter \nAs long as Stephen Fite can remember\, he has always loved music. At the young age of five\, he had big dreams of being the fifth Beatle. That whole British band thing never panned out\, but he has found something even better. He has realized his dream of playing before crowds of screaming fans—the very young variety. The bonus is that through his play he is able to touch their lives by aiding in their education. He is an award-winning musician/writer whose albums have received 18 nationally recognized honors. \nStephen has been giving workshops and keynotes since 1986 and has presented keynotes at the following conferences: Kindergarten Teachers of Texas\, Oklahoma Early Childhood Association\, DLM Summer Institute\, Southern Early Childhood Association\, Missouri AEYC\, Illinois PreK – Kindergarten Conference\, Kaleidoscope Conference\, and many more. \nRegister\n

SUMMARY:Engaging Readers with Nonfiction Texts
DESCRIPTION:Students often choose fiction books when given the choice of reading\nmaterials. They often see nonfiction reading as reading that is done for school\ninstead of for personal enjoyment. We can help students find books that\nthey want to read “for fun” if we think differently about the books we have\navailable\, the ways we use nonfiction in our teaching\, and how we book talk\nnonfiction books. \n  \nRegister
