Culturally Responsive Teaching: Meet the Needs of Diverse Learners (webinar)
The purpose of HLP webinar #5 is to explore HLP #18 (i.e., use strategies to promote active student engagement). Throughout this webinar, our keynote speaker, Dr. Neporcha Cone, will discuss culturally responsive pedagogy and its use to deepen student learning by promoting authentic engagement.

Part 3: Explicit Instruction- The Key to Student Learning (HLP 16)

Explicit Instruction: The Key to Student Learning (webinar)
The purpose of HLP webinar #6 was to explore HLP #16 (i.e., use explicit instruction). Throughout this webinar, our keynote speaker, Dr. Benedict, discussed how explicit instruction marries explaining and describing with modeling while a teacher draws students’ attention to how to use a strategy or makes transparent the underlying thinking involved in completing a task. Furthermore, examples and non-examples of HLP 16 were provided for participants to consider ways to bolster general and special educators’ effectiveness at integrating high quality explicit instruction into everyday teaching.

The Gift of Feedback and Guidance to Support Student Learning (webinar)
The purpose of HLP webinar #4 is to explore HLP #8, provide positive and constructive feedback to guide students’ learning and behavior, as truly a gift for students. To that end, the presenters will define positive and constructive feedback, provide examples of various types of effective feedback, explain strategies to support P-12 students’ use of feedback, and demonstrate how quality feedback is a critical component for assessment reform.

Early Childhood Behavior Management: Developing and Teaching Rules
This Module, a DEC-recommended resource, includes information on how to create developmentally appropriate behavior rules for early childhood classrooms so that they link to a given school’s behavior expectations. The importance of communication with families about rules and expected behaviors is also stressed (est. completion time: 1.5 hours).

Reimagining Classroom Experiences to Maximize Student Engagement (webinar)
In this webinar we will focus on engaging all learners through active classroom experiences. Participants will learn a variety of strategies to build relationships with students, create a learning environment that encourages active participation, and check for student understanding – all of which maximize student outcomes. We will discuss informal and deliberate methods to assess what students are learning during instruction to collect data and make informed decisions. Specifically, we will focus on high leverage practices #18 and #4.
