Webinars

This session explores the Big 5 components of reading: phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. Educators will gain practical, evidence-based strategies, examine how neuroscience informs instruction, and learn how to apply these practices within a response to intervention (RTI) framework to support all learners.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly shaping the future of education, yet without critical engagement, it risks reinforcing systemic biases and widening technological inequities. Dr. Stacie Chana, author of Experimenting With AI: Activities, Discussions, and Prompts for the Classroom and Beyond, empowers educational leaders to approach AI with a lens of equity and cultural responsiveness, ensuring that all learners are protected and informed about the challenges and opportunities AI presents. Participants will explore practical strategies for identifying AI bias, implementing responsible AI-driven decision making, and developing policies that support ethical AI integration. This session will equip leaders with the knowledge needed to critically assess AI tools, advocate for fair and just technology use in schools, and guide students in becoming discerning users of AI.

When school leaders foster a culture of frequent, specific recognition, it creates an environment for collaborative teams to function at high levels. In this edWebinar, Drs. David Chiprany and Phillip Page will discuss how celebrating the “right work” of professional learning communities (PLC) stimulates the culture shift necessary for successful PLC implementation. Using intentional celebrations, K–12 leaders can improve collaborative team performance, resulting in higher student achievement.

This webinar will answer these questions based on empirical testing of coaching programs implemented in ESL/ELD, dual language, K–5 general education—and 6th-grade to 12th-grade math, science, social studies, and language arts classrooms in middle and high schools. We encourage coaches, teachers, and school leadership to attend this webinar together so you can launch your program immediately!

Research consistently highlights the power of differentiated instruction, yet many educators struggle to implement personalized learning due to time constraints and workload demands. Generative artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT provide a game-changing solution, helping teachers design customized lessons efficiently and effectively.

In this practical webinar, Mona Toncheff will explore how collaborative teams can ensure all students learn grade-level mathematics through Tier 1 core instruction and Tier 2 interventions. Mona will provide ready-to-use tools and strategies from the latest book in the Every Student Can Learn Mathematics series, Mathematics Strategies for Tier 1 and Tier 2 Interventions in a PLC at Work®.
