The resurgence of equity as a buzzword in the media has resulted in an influx of vendors and thought leaders talking about the “best” ways to close equity gaps, often without research to back it up. To truly make a difference for students, educators need to focus on what the evidence says, and the evidence points to literacy. 

Literacy is at the heart of educational equity, and today, too many students are still not able to read proficiently. Educators need better support, resources, and tools to teach reading in a way that helps ALL students learn. Students and their learning needs are diverse, but we have the research on how to reach each and every one of them. That research is the Science of Reading, which is brought into the classroom through Structured Literacy and differentiated instruction. 

Listen to this edWeb podcast with educational experts Dr. Carrie Doom and Michele Pulver to learn what literacy instruction needs to be equitable, and how to implement those proven, equitable instructional practices in our classrooms and schools today. 

This edWeb podcast is of interest to teachers and school and district leaders of the K-8 grades.

Listen to this edWeb podcast to learn how combining MTSS with blended learning can accelerate learning recovery for all students. 

With the return to campus, it is clear that our students have serious gaps in their educational programs. Intervention strategies post pandemic need to blend academic, social, and emotional support. In addition to learning loss, have you noticed more temper tantrums (regardless of age), less resistance to change, and more difficulty making friends? You are not alone. 

In this edWeb podcast, we demonstrate some strategies and interventions that you can immediately use with your students. By using a systematic MTSS approach to intervention, you can meet all your students where they are. MTSS is a framework that uses data to help match academic and social-emotional behavior assessments and instructional resources to each individual student’s needs. If you blend in-person and online teaching you can reach more students in less time, in small groups and individually. 

Listen as we go over these strategies and offer real-time solutions to getting back on track. This edWeb podcast is of interest to K-12 teachers, school and district leaders, and education technology leaders.

Digital equity has proven to be one of the most critical issues of our times. Lessons learned over the past two years have taught education leaders that they cannot solve the challenges of digital equity in their school districts without actively engaging a wide range of community groups. CoSN annually awards a school district with the association’s Community Leadership Award for Digital Equity to honor and recognize those districts that are working to eliminate inequities and narrow the digital access gap. Louisa County Public Schools in Virginia is the recipient of CoSN’s 2022 Community Leadership Award for Digital Equity. 

The superintendent of Louisa County Public Schools is joined by the district’s director of technology along with the district’s director of STEAM and innovation and CoSN’s CEO as featured guest panelists in this edWeb podcast. The district leaders share the strategies they use to lead their work with their community in leveraging technology innovations to meet the needs of all students. The development of the district’s Wireless on Wheels (WOW) program to provide high-speed access to previously unconnected areas is one of the innovations that are shared.

Today’s educational landscape is fraught with challenges related to teacher attribution, learning loss, mental health, and safety, never mind the day-to-day instructional practices, and yet our educators continue to rise and meet these issues with their can-do attitudes. However, we need to support teachers as they expand their toolbox of strategies to include tactics to address the more extreme issues that are arising for kids both in and out of school. By strengthening such communication and connections, schools can continue to build a safe environment and positive culture so that the whole school community can thrive. 

In this edWeb podcast, teachers are equipped with research-based practices to build a resilient school culture. They grasp how to create a strengths-based framework to better understand, recognize, and respond to the effect of trauma schoolwide. Panelists Paralympian Harrison Orpe and seventh-grade teacher Laurie Nociar dive deep into practices from their respective fieldwork in therapy and schools, sharing strategies and practices applicable to both adults and students. Come join us to learn more about how trauma-informed care and practices can help shift culture, promote self-care and wellness, and address whole-child education, leading to improved academic and behavioral outcomes.
