SUMMARY:Strategic Technology Planning: Aligning Priorities\, Costs\, Outcomes and Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Jeanne Barker\, Director of Schools\, Lenoir City School System\, TN; Dr. Chris Gaines\, Superintendent\, Mehlville School District\, MO; and Dr. Randy Ziegenfuss\, Superintendent\, Salisbury Township School District\, PA \nProgram Host and Moderator: Ann McMullan\, Project Director\, CoSN Empowered Superintendents Initiative \nSponsored by ClassLink\nThis edWebinar series is co-hosted by CoSN and edWeb.net \nOver 50% of U.S. school districts and about one third of all public schools in the nation are located in rural areas. Successfully leading digital transformations within rural school districts has a tremendous impact on our nation as a whole. \nTechnology planning and investments can typically be quite complicated. Often the challenges begin almost from the moment a district begins to consider next steps in a comprehensive technology plan. With tight budgets and multiple stakeholders involved\, each with valid concerns\, along with the constant evolution of technology tools and resources\, a framework for evaluating technology initiatives and guidelines for arriving at well-supported decisions are more important than ever before. \nJoin this edWebinar with three tech-savvy superintendents\, from three different states\, as they share how they lead their districts in creating technology plans that align priorities\, costs\, and outcomes and also assure that the ability to sustain technology initiatives over time is part of the planning process. Each superintendent will explain their strategies and impart their expertise on the total cost of ownership\, student outcomes\, budget management\, and the value of investment. Tools and resources to evaluate\, rethink and strengthen technology planning and decision making will be shared. \nGiven the current challenges involved with the efforts to continue teaching and learning in the midst of multiple school closures\, the issues involved in school districts’ strategic technology planning are now more urgent and relevant than ever. Our three superintendents share strategies they have implemented to lead learning for all students in their school districts during these most unprecedented and complex times. \nThis edWebinar will be of particular value to school superintendents\, K-12 school and district leaders\, and aspiring leaders. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation.

SUMMARY:Don't Look Away: Embracing Anti-Bias Classrooms
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Iheoma U. Iruka\, Ph.D.\, Chief Research Innovation Officer & Director\, HighScope Educational Research Foundation; Stephanie Curenton\, Ph.D.\, Associate Professor\, Boston University; and Kerry-Ann Escayg\, Ph.D.\, Assistant Professor\, University of Nebraska at Omaha \nSponsored by Gryphon House \nIn this edWebinar\, the lead authors of the newly released book\, Don’t Look Away: Embracing Anti-Bias Classrooms\, call all early education professionals to lean in as “sheroes” and “heroes” in the lives of children; early educators are potential change agents in children’s and families’ lives. The goal of this edWebinar is to ensure that participants understand and embrace anti-bias and anti-racist teaching approaches by creating affirming culturally-rich classroom environments that protect children from psychological trauma and heals them from the inside out. Viewers will learn how institutional racism is visited in the early childhood space and the roles of implicit bias\, microaggression\, and white privilege in undermining the excellence and learning of minoritized Black and brown children and those who teach them. Viewers will be armored with tools and strategies\, but most importantly\, partners in the fight to ensure that we deliver on the promise of education especially for those who helped to build it. \nThis recorded edWebinar will be of interest to preK through elementary teachers\, school and district leaders\, coaches\, trainers\, and childcare providers\, owners\, and administrators.

SUMMARY:Facilitating Young Children’s Learning with Nature
DESCRIPTION:Nature-based education seems to be all the rage lately. This includes nature-based preschools\, forest preschools\, and nature-based elementary programs. While the number of immersive nature-based programs is increasing\, there are thousands of more traditional programs that have the opportunity to meaningfully integrate nature into their early childhood program. This edWebinar will help early childhood providers\, no matter their situation\, consider the principles fundamental to a nature-based approach and integrate those principles into teaching practice. \nThis edWebinar will particularly focus on the teacher-child interactions that best support children learning with nature rather than simply learning in or about nature. This approach doesn’t happen overnight\, but rather occurs through daily programmatic and teaching decisions. Rachel Larimore will provide concrete ways to integrate high-quality nature-based early childhood education practices into the classroom inside\, outside\, and beyond the fence of the play area. The edWebinar will include discussion around modeling and facilitating for children\, questioning\, when to use silence as a pedagogical tool\, and how to support developmentally appropriate risky play. Attendees will leave this edWebinar with tangible ideas that can be implemented the next day as well as some ideas that can be worked toward in the future. \nThis edWebinar will be of benefit to preK through elementary school teachers\, librarians\, and school and district leaders. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation. \nAbout the Presenter \nRachel Larimore is an educator\, speaker\, consultant\, and author of the books Establishing a Nature-Based Preschool and Preschool Beyond Walls: Blending Early Childhood Education and Nature-Based Learning. She is also the founder of Samara Early Learning (SEL)—a consulting business focused on supporting nature-based early childhood professionals. Her passion and expertise lie around the intentional integration of nature into early childhood education for young children’s whole development. Prior to establishing SEL\, Rachel founded the nature-based preschool at Chippewa Nature Center (CNC) in Midland\, MI. She continued as the founding director until 2016 when\, at her departure\, the program served 140 children each year through public and private funding sources. While at CNC\, Rachel also led the creation of a partnership with Bullock Creek Public Schools to create a nature-based kindergarten and first grade. Rachel is also a doctoral candidate in education at Michigan State University. For more about Rachel\, visit https://www.samarael.com/.
