| Deepening and Widening the Way We Teach Writing in K–5 |
| This event takes place on Thursday, Feb. 5, 2015, 2 to 3 p.m. ET. |
The Common Core State Standards have led elementary schools to
increase the amount of writing students do and provide them with
instruction in planning, revising, and editing. This commendable effort,
however, is really only a good start. To write well, students must have
prior knowledge relevant to what they are writing. The new writing
standards have been constructed to increase the mutual benefits of
writing and knowledge.
This webinar will focus on deepening how we teach writing to help
students overcome the prior-knowledge problem and widening how we teach
writing to increase student content knowledge.
In this webinar, our guests will:
• Show how the writing standards are based on research about the relationship between knowledge and writing,
• Present practical lesson frameworks that help students overcome a lack of prior knowledge, and
• Show how to use topical writing and writing across the curriculum to build content knowledge and teach how to write better.

| Parent Empowerment Through Local School Councils |
| This event takes place on Monday, Feb. 9, 2015, 2 to 3 p.m. ET. |
In Chicago and Kentucky, local school councils were created to
improve educational outcomes for students in their respective
jurisdictions. Chicago's model—still unique in the country 25 years
later—sought to harness the power of parents and the community to drive
school improvement. Kentucky, whose education law was deemed
unconstitutional at the time that Chicago was embarking on its unique
parent- and community-powered reform, chose to include parents on the
local councils, but left educators in the driver's seat. In this
webinar, you will hear how the two different models of local school
councils emerged and how their approaches to involving parents in school
reform differ.

| A Successful 1:1 Initiative on a Budget |
| This event takes place on Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2015, 2 to 3 p.m. ET. |
J. Sterling Morton High School District 201, located just outside of
Chicago in Cicero, Illinois, has one of the highest free and reduced
lunch rates in the state and yet they have successfully rolled out a 1:1
initiative starting this school year. Through the support of the school
board president and other administrators, the district is seeing a
significant improvement in student and faculty engagement since this
initiative began. In this webinar, district leaders will share how they
leveraged federal funding for this project, how they decided on a
device, how they organized and managed professional development, and how
they managed the logistics to allow this challenged district to take a
significant step forward in preparing their students for college and
career.
