Live Panel: Recruiting the Best Educators in the Teacher Shortage Era

Each student is unique. How can we better support each student’s individual needs? Including for our ELLs? To do so, differentiated instruction is a critical approach to understand.In general, differentiated instruction can take place along four avenues:Content: Figuring out what a student needs to learn, and which resources will help him do so.Process: Activities that help students make sense of what they learn.Projects: A way for students to “show what they know” Learning environment: How the classroom “feels” and how the class works together. The session first introduces differentiated instruction and then focuses on the idea of “process” and how these processes shape learning and remembering. After this foundation, the session illustrates multiple traditional and non-traditional sensory paths to work with students to gather and link information to understand concepts and solve problems.

How can we assess better, more efficiently, and with greater impact? These are big questions to grapple with as we strive to build a culture of evidence in the field of Student Affairs. In this webinar, we review models and processes that provide a pathway for Student Affairs practitioners to become more evidence-based.

To implement ed-tech initiatives, like personalized learning or 1-to-1 device initiatives, across a school or a district, education leaders need to communicate a clear vision, reach across silos and foster a culture of innovation.

This engaging webinar presented by Robert J. Marzano provides an overview of the new framework and accompanying resources in the book, The New Art and Science of Teaching. The new framework is much more than a second edition of the original published in 2007, and represents a shift from a teacher-behavior perspective to a student-outcomes perspective while addressing a wide range of instructional strategies. This shift in focus and how it can optimize student learning is explored during the webinar. Implications of the model for classrooms, schools, and districts are also addressed.
