Many articles, blogs, books, podcasts, and webinars have been written and shared for the purpose of reiterating the need to close student achievement gaps. And yet, the process and progress in closing the gaps has been out of reach.

As educators and leaders across the nation grapple with the challenge of changing policies, practices, and procedures to ensure high levels of learning for all students, the inability to effectively change the mindsets of colleagues, faculty, and staff is proving to be the biggest hurdle of all. Hence, in order for systems to change, outlooks will also need to change.

Join us for this webinar to engage in a unique professional learning experience that can work for schools, departments or teams. Choose Your Own Master Class is designed with standalone chapters to offer busy educators the opportunity to join together for a book club, yet begin with the chapter that speaks to their most urgent needs. This webinar will highlight the chapter on civil conversations, including its thought leaders from across disciplines. It will feature reflective exercises and classroom strategies to help you start off the year cultivating a supportive classroom environment. Together we’ll explore ideas to nurture inclusivity and belonging throughout the school year.

Closing student achievement gaps requires specific actions focused on acceleration and leveling up strategies to achieve grade-level proficiency or beyond. Acceleration is the pathway; we cannot continue to go backward if our goal is to move forward. Discover how to erase inequities in student learning while building hope and confidence in both teachers and students. This is equity in action.

Singletons—teachers who are the only ones teaching a specific course or subject—often ask how they can effectively participate on a collaborative team. Additionally, leaders frequently ask what they should be doing to guide and support singletons. This webinar provides participants clear direction to help singletons engage in meaningful collaboration. Teachers and leaders receive templates they can implement immediately.

Often schools overlook the greatest vehicle to positively transform school culture: student voice.

Understand and utilize a framework for systemic equity. Author Lauryn Mascareñaz shares how to move equity work out of the “team” setting–where only a few members hold the work–and into multiple spaces and systems.

Through the examination of specific and practical strategies that administrators, teachers, teams, and schools can implement, Sharon V. Kramer takes the participants on an alternate journey through the acceleration pathway that closes the achievement gap quickly enough to access grade and course level learning for all students.
