Teacher shortages and retention, student engagement, closing gaps in learning, and supporting all learners are top of mind for district and school leaders. When it comes to science instruction, these challenges are often amplified by a lack of qualified science teachers and pressure to focus instructional time on math and reading.

Listen to this edWeb podcast to hear from two Florida district leaders about how their science programs support teachers, encourage science learning in and out of the classroom, and drive significant growth in science achievement. Listen to the lively discussion to learn:

• How Flagler Schools and Clay County District Schools (FL) are addressing common challenges that districts face with science teaching and learning
• How these districts are incorporating gamification into science assessment and instruction
• How the mechanics and principles of gaming paired with other learning principles like the 5E Model and Webb’s DOK can deepen learning

Don’t miss this opportunity to get a behind-the-scenes look into how other districts are providing equitable, high-quality science instruction. This edWeb podcast is of interest to K-12 school and district leaders, particularly science coordinators, science curriculum directors, and others involved with science.

Every minute of your writing workshop can do double duty—supporting both kids’ writing development and their growth as readers. Learn ways you can deliberately support skills such as phonemic awareness, phonics, and the development of sight vocabulary while you meanwhile rally kids to put their lives and their ideas onto the page. Vowel charts, one-minute pauses for spell checks, and the habit of clapping out multisyllabic words can help youngsters write so others can read their writing.

This edWeb podcast shows you ways to bring the Science of Reading into your writing instruction in practical ways that you can use immediately. Listen to this session to learn about:

• Studying students’ writing to understand their phonics development and to plan next steps
• Helping kids develop the tools and habits to draw on their phonics knowledge as they write
• Transferable high-leverage small groups that will accelerate kids’ command of phonics skills
• Songs, games, conversations, and partner work that can reinforce phonemic awareness—especially segmenting and blending of phonemes—in playful, innovative ways
• The power of shared and interactive writing to encourage transfer from isolation to connected text

This edWeb podcast is of interest to K-5 teachers and school and district leaders.

Authentic, real-world learning can be difficult to achieve in any classroom. Throw in learner variability and personalization for 30+ students at a time, and the task can seem nearly impossible.

Career and Technical Education (CTE) educators prepare students for high-demand, skilled jobs in industries such as healthcare, technology, and construction. Every day, CTE educators work to bring learning to life for their students. The lessons they have learned along the way can benefit all educators who are looking to make their classrooms spaces of more authentic learning.

In this edWeb podcast, we bring together CTE educators who have re-imagined their classroom instruction to be more student-centered, self-paced, and mastery-based to share their best practices for bringing learning to life.

Whether you are a teacher looking to change up your instructional strategies or a school leader who believes in the power of student-centered learning, this edWeb podcast gives you strategies and resources that can support all students.

This edWeb podcast is of interest to K-12 teachers and school and district leaders.
