SUMMARY:The Vocabulary Edge for English Learners | Webinar
DESCRIPTION:How do we best support the vocabulary\, comprehension\, and knowledge-building of our English Learners (ELs)? By building on their strengths! Join Dr. Elfrieda Hiebert on December 11 for her webinar exploring opportunities to better support ELs. \nAbout\nDeveloping a solid foundation in core vocabulary\, which represents the key ideas about the world which ELs already have\, is fundamental to supporting ELs in accessing their existing knowledge.

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. \nTweetSharePinShare0 Shares

SUMMARY:From Scribbles to Writing | Online Webinar

They use what might seem like just scribbles\, lines and blobs to represent things.

Children’s pictures are words to them and represent an essential step on the road to literacy. In this edWebinar\, participants will: \n\n\n\nLook at the ages and stages of writing from infants to kindergarten and explore the many ways to support children’s beginning writing and art skills;\n\n\n\n\nExplore the essential social and emotional aspects of art and writing expression while building an emotional vocabulary;\n\n\n\n\nDevelop new ideas for process-based art activities for self-expression and storytelling;\n\n\n\n\nUse poetry and the work of modern artists to inspire children’s art and writing;\n\n\n\n\nBuild positive and supportive strategies for talking to children about their art; and\n\n\n\n\nDefine the current brain research that supports the importance of art as a tool for self-expression\, language\, and writing.\n\n\n\nThis edWebinar will be of interest to pre-k and kindergarten teachers. \nRegister\nTo register for this webinar\, visit the EdWeb event page. \nTweetSharePinShare0 Shares
