Maybe you love your classroom assessment system or maybe you wish you could find something better. Either way, there are things about what’s under the hood of your system you may not know about. We break down some measurement techniques and assessment practices—typically presented in a technical way—into user-friendly concepts.

This edLeader Panel podcast helps you learn what questions to ask to uncover the information you need to know to select a system that helps your students learn more efficiently and effectively. Knowing the best questions to ask helps you navigate a conversation with your local team creating assessments or your assessment provider to ensure you have a winning system in place for your students, teachers, leaders, and families.

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

Education is often dictated by many outside forces: pacing guides and school board priorities, political decisions, and parental preferences. We know that student voice and choice are essential to supporting motivation, engagement, and academic success, but supporting that choice can sometimes feel daunting. Doing so in a way that is meaningful, sustainable, and positively impacts student learning can feel next to impossible.

In this edWebinar, education leaders Dr. Catlin Tucker and Kareem Farah explored what meaningful, motivational choice in a classroom setting actually looks like and how and when educators can implement opportunities for choice at strategic moments in the student learning cycle.

Today, in any school system, data privacy is a priority that touches every aspect of school operations. In this edLeader Panel, three superintendents shared the successful strategies they lead to assess their school districts’ privacy and compliance policies and the practices they implement as they relate to their districts’ systemwide use of technology.

Viewers heard how each superintendent addressed several specific critical guidelines for leading school system data privacy initiatives, including staying current with state and federal laws, keeping instructional impacts in the picture, and effective training strategies for staff and students.

All three superintendents represent school districts that have earned the Trusted Learning Environment (TLE) Seal, the nation’s only privacy framework designed specifically for school systems. When any school district goes through the process of earning the TLE Seal they develop strong data privacy programs and are able to build a culture of trust with all the communities they serve. Viewers learned how their own school districts can earn the TLE Seal.

This recorded edLeader Panel podcast is of particular value to superintendents, K-12 school and district leaders, and aspiring school leaders.
