Listen to this edWeb podcast to learn about a union-led program designed to support and retain early-career teachers through complementary supports: a building-based mentor and a virtual instructional coach. While the program focused mainly on teacher induction, it simultaneously elevated the mentors and coaches—practicing teachers themselves—into teacher leadership roles that allowed them to share expertise and grow in their own practices.

Panelists also delve into the collaborative work alumni mentors and coaches did following the pilot program to design resources and professional learning for current mentors and coaches. This panel of three mentors and one coach reflects on and discusses what it was like to be empowered as teacher leaders through these various opportunities within this pilot program, and what advice these experienced teacher leaders would give to leaders who are looking to elevate more teachers into such roles.

This edWeb podcast is of interest to K-12 teachers, school and district leaders, and anyone interested in teacher retention and induction.

Teachers know that the Science of Reading applies to all students—those who read well, those with dyslexia or other learning differences, those from linguistically and culturally diverse backgrounds, and more. All students benefit from systematic and explicit reading instruction that includes phonemic awareness, fluency, vocabulary, and text comprehension.

With their unparalleled knowledge of and access to their learners, teachers must be an integral part of the transition to structured literacy. In this edWeb podcast, we bring together educators and curricular experts to break down how teachers can advocate for Science-of-Reading-based instruction and professional learning in their schools and districts. Discussion topics include:

• Becoming the expert and advocating for structured literacy instruction
• Identifying areas of improvement in current literacy programs or curricula and leveling feedback up to decision makers
• Identifying professional development and training to implement structured literacy
• Inspiration to achieve a shared vision of Science-of-Reading-based instruction in your classroom and beyond

This edWeb podcast is of interest to PreK-12 teachers, librarians, school and district leaders, and education technology leaders.

Math anxiety and negative associations with math are common among elementary students and can develop as early as kindergarten. This can lead to avoidance and low achievement in math. However, increasing student engagement through varied instructional tactics can help students build confidence and resiliency in math. To be flexible problem solvers, students need strong number sense and a toolbox of strategies to choose from, and educators need the math foundation and support to do this in their classrooms.

In this edWeb podcast, current principal and former elementary educator Emma Simmons and elementary educators Emily Semrad and Elijah Ortiz share:

• Current challenges faced in math education, including data insights from principals across the United States
• How administrators can shape teachers’ instruction to cultivate flexible problem solvers
• Math classroom strategies that help students stay engaged in their learning and in turn, build more positive associations with math

The goal of this session is for listeners to leave with strategies they can implement into their teaching practice to increase engagement and differentiate instruction. Emma, Elijah, and Emily have worked with a variety of grade levels and student populations, providing them all with a robust toolbox of math strategies.

This edWeb podcast is of interest to elementary teachers, school and district leaders, education technology leaders, and math curriculum coordinators and directors.
