Addressing K-5 Learning Loss in Mathematics through Differentiation

Session 1: Addressing K-5 Learning Loss in Mathematics through Differentiation

Audience: School Administrators and Teachers
Date: Monday, November 7, 3:15pm – 4:15pm
Presenter: Dr. Pam Warrick

In a post-pandemic environment, school communities are working to restructure math instruction to address learning loss by considering: 

    • Are math lessons differentiated for all students?
    • Is instruction meeting the demands of NGLS?
    • Are students engaged and motivated in their math classrooms? 

Targeting learning loss by reigniting student engagement and collaboration must be a priority in classrooms.  Workstations are building blocks to increase engagement, differentiation, and developing mathematical discourse through problem solving.  Generation Ready will be offering schools two complementary webinar sessions, separated by grade band to address the use of effective math workstations to combat learning loss. 

    Addressing Middle School Learning Loss in Mathematics through Differentiation

      Science of Reading: Practical Applications for Instructional Leaders

      Science of Reading: 
      Practical Applications for Instructional Leaders

      Description: This interactive webinar is designed to address questions such as:

      • What is the science of reading (SOR)?
      • How can we reflect on our understanding and challenges with Balanced Literacy, without “throwing out the baby with the bath water”?
      • How can align my MPPR goals with SOR instructional shifts?
      • How can I provide targeted feedback to teachers, as they implement research-based programs and tools?

      Science of Reading: Introduction for Teachers and Paras

      Science of Reading Webinar - October 17, 2022

      Science of Reading: 
      Introduction for Teachers and Paras

      Everyone’s talking about it–but what IS it? This workshop explains what is, and what is not, the Science of Reading. We’ll learn how proficient readers and writers develop, and what interventions work when difficulties arise. Participants will come away with an understanding of:

      • Reading Development and processing in the brain
      • Components of skilled reading
      • Ways to address the components of sckilled reading, specifically:
        • Increasing oral language and its connection to reading
        • Vocabulary development and acquisition
        • Phonological and phonemic awareness and phonics
        • Orthographic mapping
        • High-frequency word instruction
        • Word walls vs. sound walls

      These key takeaways will allow participants to asses their own literacy curriculums, and classroom practices to consider shifts they might need to make to allow for more impactful, and science-based, reading instruction.
