Creating a welcoming classroom environment that fosters enduring relationships in support of student success doesn’t happen overnight. It takes work, but research and personal educator experiences show that the work is worth it. In fact, family engagement is two times more effective in predicting a student’s success than their family’s socioeconomic status. To quote TalkingPoints Founder and CEO, “Families are the game-changer.” So, what is the best way to make that first connection with each family? And how do we, as educators, ensure the engagement strategies we use with families align with mutual goals?

This edWeb podcast offers a guide and clear strategies for engaging all families equitably, including through the use of the free TalkingPoints Teacher mobile and web apps. Listeners explore best practices—through their own past experiences, peer discussion, and interactive tasks—for proactive and positive family engagement. Let’s maximize the power of partnership this year in pursuit of student outcomes. You are not alone.

This edWeb podcast is of interest to PreK-12 teachers.

Understanding “The Reading Brain” can help educators enormously in their implementation of Science-of-Reading-based instructional strategies and student support. Yet, academics alone are not enough to accelerate learning. We need students who are supported in all aspects of their development to achieve success.

We often use the term “resilience” to describe how students overcome challenges in the pursuit of academic success. While this mental and emotional elasticity is touted as a positive skill, is it really the answer for students, or do we need to dig deeper into the systems and structures that require this resilience while offering research-backed, effective instruction?

Listen to this edWeb podcast with Lexia’s Senior Education Advisor, Kerri Larkin, and Resiliency, Inc.’s President and CEO, Horacio Sanchez, as they discuss brain function during reading, the role resilience plays in education, and how the Science of Reading can support learning for all students. You learn about brain processes during reading, what resilience is and how it is often misused, and how educators can activate the Science of Reading to better serve their students.

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

Featuring special guest Peter Liljedahl, Ph.D.

Teachers around the world have fallen in love with the tools and practices provided by Dr. Peter Liljedahl and his best-selling book, Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics. These practices help teachers engage students and build a vibrant thinking classroom. But vertical non-permanent surfaces and random groupings are only the beginning. In this edWeb podcast with Dr. Liljedahl, we dive deeply to answer these questions:

• How do we use problem-solving thinking tasks as the foundation of a thinking classroom?
• How do we help students consolidate their learning and discoveries while working in a thinking classroom?
• How do we help students write notes to their future forgetful selves?
• How do we help students focus on important goals with so many things happening in a thinking classroom?
• How and what should a teacher evaluate in a thinking classroom?

Dr. Liljedahl discusses these important questions and shares his ideas for helping students form long-term memories as part of the thinking classroom in mathematics. This edWeb podcast is of interest to K-12 teachers and school and district leaders.

Lisa Schmucki, the Founder and CEO, of edWeb.net and Larry Cocco, Senior Professional Learning Consultant for edWeb, share innovative ways that school districts are re-inventing professional learning – for teachers, paras, and for all staff. 

Educators in all roles need professional learning that meets their needs in more ways, and in more areas, that ever before. Change is happening faster than ever, and time feels like it’s constantly shrinking.  

Virtual professional learning surged to new levels during the pandemic and is a great way to bring experts into a school district on a wider range of subjects – science of reading, multilanguage learners, mental health, artificial intelligence, and so much more – with the convenience of viewing programs at a time the is convenient, and yes, even while multi-tasking like cooking a meal or listening to a podcast on a walk.
