SUMMARY:Guiding Students’ Early Learning Journeys
DESCRIPTION:Young children have boundless energy—and endless curiosity about the world around them. They also have so much to learn. As educators\, our challenge is twofold: first\, to determine what children already know; and second\, to use this insight to provide engaging learning experiences that will help them grow. \nAbout\nDuring the “Guiding Students’ Early Learning Journeys” webinar\, Dr. Scott McConnell and Dr. Jan Bryan will share strategies for meeting these challenges\, along with practical tips for assessing your early learners more effectively. Participants will explore: \n\n\n\nwhat science tells us about the natural knowledge of young learners;\nhow we can use brief measures to accurately assess this knowledge;\nhow these measures also provide valuable insights into overall development and growth; and\nhow to use these insights to guide learning journeys from preK through grade 3.\n\n\n\nThis session will be of interest to pre-k through elementary teachers\, school and district leaders\, assessment and curriculum directors and coordinators\, early childhood education directors\, and RTI/MTSS coordinators. Time for questions will be provided. \nRegistration\nTo register and learn more\, visit the edWeb website.
