Just in case you get bore with our
blizzard, here are a couple of webinars you can sign up for!
Some webinars for Tuesday and Wednesday:
2015: Next Generation Assessment Implementation and ResultsHow can districts prepare their students and teachers for the national consortia's assessments this year? Efforts to align curriculum, instruction, and assessment with Common Core State Standards have intensified as the pressure escalates for states and districts that will take the new summative assessments this spring.
Widespread unease persists:
• Increased level of rigor,
• New item types,
• Unfamiliarity with format, and
• Test administration scheduling
Further, the transition to online administration poses additional planning and technical challenges.
Join our guests to better understand two approaches to these challenges—one in a Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium state and one in a Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers state. And learn how school and district leaders are preparing teachers and students to meet the challenges with confidence.
Guests:
Lizabeth Frischhertz, chief officer for accountability, assessment, and evaluation, East Baton Rouge Parish School System, La.
Frances Gipson, Ph.D., principal, El Sereno Middle School and Magnet Center, Los Angeles Unified School District
This webinar will be moderated by Justine Hargreaves, senior product marketing manager, Measured Progress

| High-Quality Early Childhood Programs as a Model for K-3 Education |
| This event takes place on Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2015, 2 to 3 p.m. ET. |
For nearly 30 years, Teaching Strategies has helped early childhood
programs to improve outcomes through developmentally appropriate
practice. This webinar will share lessons learned from decades of
innovation in high-quality early childhood programs, and highlight the
ways that applying similar strategies in K-3 can lead to quality and
success for all children.
Kai-leé Berke, Teaching Strategies’ chief academic officer, will define
developmentally appropriate practice; showcase the powerful impact of
project-based, hands-on investigations that directly support children to
be critical and creative thinkers; and discuss how innovative resources
that inextricably link curriculum and whole-child assessment can help
K-3 programs achieve success. Additionally, participants will gain an
understanding of the importance of investing in early childhood programs
that help lay the foundation for children’s success in kindergarten and
beyond.
