What Business Schools Can Do to Address the Climate Crisis

Is your writing instruction rigorous, with your students actively engaged in the work of making meaning as they write? And what role does social and emotional learning (SEL) play in successful writing instruction? In this webinar, we explore these questions with Principal Samantha Coy of Burgess Elementary School and Corwin author John Antonetti. Learn how these education leaders have partnered to bring thoughtful, student-centered writing instruction to Burgess Elementary through the implementation of the Being a Writer curriculum.

As lifelong learners, early childhood educators are often thinking about how to gain new knowledge, no matter how long they have been in the field. As we accumulate this knowledge, it can sometimes be difficult to move from theory to practice. Implementation science can help us build an evidence-based framework for creating an intentional plan to bridge the research-to-practice gap.

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.

Project-based learning gives every child the opportunity to develop critical process skills, like observing, connecting ideas, problem-solving, and communicating. These skills provide the foundation for ALL learning. This webinar will provide practical tips for incorporating this approach in the live and remote PreK classroom to turbo-charge rigor and outcomes for your students.
