Webinars

Motivating and inspiring students is no easy task. In Motivating and Inspiring Students, Tina H. Boogren, Robert Marzano, Darrell Scott, and Ming Lee Newcomb outline a six-level hierarchy of student needs, offering K–12 teachers actionable strategies to deliver engaging instruction. Explore the six levels of the student-needs hierarchy in this insightful webinar and gain insights into motivation and practical strategies to engage and inspire students effectively.

In this one-hour presentation, you will be invited to consider an organizational model that synthesizes research and knowledge from an array of fields—such as education, the social sciences, neurology, biology, and psychology—into a dynamic, holistic, and contextualized structure that empowers all educational organizations to meet the needs of every learner and community.

In this session, Dr. Acosta will focus heavily on the Professional Learning Community and resulting collaborative teams process designed to support the work of a High Reliability School. Participants will not only explore how to install high functioning collaborative teams, but they will also discuss ways to monitor and give feedback to teams. Participants will be given examples of implementation and practice.

Teachers often are told what to do to provide high-quality instruction, but the how can be elusive. The New Art and Science of Teaching (NASOT) bridges this gap, offering educators a practical framework for developing both. In this exclusive webinar, Melanie Lewis Magee will guide you through the NASOT, empowering you to elevate your teaching practice.

Teachers work diligently to obtain accurate information about student achievement by using various types of classroom assessments. Ensuring this accuracy depends on assessments that are valid, fair, and reliable, which are crucial for guiding instructional planning.

Enhancing literacy at all levels of education is one of the most critical elements of effective schooling. This workshop is designed to deepen teachers’ understanding of delivering exceptional vocabulary instruction for their students.

Gain insight into a practical action research process to ensure that the strategies you choose lead to the desired outcomes you seek by joining author Julia A. Simms for an exclusive webinar delving into her synthesis of Dr. Robert J. Marzano’s 50 years of educational research, alongside recent findings from top-ranked educational research journals. Explore the eleven educational systems she identified, and learn how to leverage them in selecting high-probability strategies to tackle specific needs and challenges.

Through a series of questions, Dr. Robert J. Marzano and Julia A. Simms will guide you through a decision-making process for the implementation of competency-based practices in your school. Emphasizing a strong research foundation and Dr. Marzano’s 25 years of experience helping schools and districts implement competency-based practices and systems, this webinar will help you organize your vision, align your current initiatives, and chart your pathway forward.

Standards-based education is becoming more and more common across the country. The approach is typically implemented at the school level. When it is, the school leaders support the change and are deeply involved in adjusting practices, processes, and policies to support the work. But what about the individual teacher or small group of like-minded teachers who wish to implement a standards-based grading approach in their classrooms but still adhere to the school or district’s traditional requirements?

We cannot teach our students everything, so we must prepare them for anything. Being prepared requires one to have specific skill sets and mindsets of success. Teachers should intentionally plan to develop agency in all learners. The framework we will share has four requirements: Inquiry starter, clear learning targets, application of knowledge, and reflection. We will share the framework, how it works in a classroom, and how you can get started.
