How to Start a Teaching Career on the Right Foot While some districts struggle to recruit teachers, many also struggle to retain them. Years of research highlight school-based factors that can reduce teacher attrition, but how can teachers help themselves? In this Q&A-based webinar, special guest Roxanna Elden, an author and teacher, will discuss ways teachers can thrive despite challenges, including by managing expectations, building mentoring relationships, and taking advantage of other school supports. In addition, school leaders will get advice on how they can better support their teachers, while creating a more attractive environment for recruits.
Guest:

author of See Me After Class: Advice for Teachers by Teachers, a guide that has
helped new teachers navigate potential pitfalls as they transition from
training to the classroom. More recently, she has created and launched the "Disillusionment
Power Pack," a free, one-month series of emails to help new teachers
through the most difficult part of the school year. For more information,

The Importance Of Customizing
Your AAC
App – What Is Possible And What You
Should Consider
Wednesday, August 5 |
There are many
hundreds of communication apps
on the market and identifying the best fit to
meet the
needs of an individual user can be, well – complicated!
Perhaps what
we should consider is how well an app
can be customized to meet those needs
and create that
perfect fit. This webinar will focus on what considerations
to take into account when it comes to customization –
what age is the user?
What is the ability of the user?
Does the user have a visual impairment? Does
the user
require a switch? We will then demonstrate a range of
settings
within Therapy Box’s own apps that demonstrate
how AAC apps can be adjusted
for a range of requirements.
• Time: 10:00AM to 10:45AM CDT • Presenter: Rebecca Bright, BSpPath MRCSLT regHPC MASLTIP • Level: Beginner  |
Wouldn't
it be great to walk into a classroom full of students, and feel like you really
knew how they learned? By understanding current research about the brain and
its core memory systems, you can do exactly that!

Guiding Parents Through School Choice In cities where traditional school boundaries are fluid and more options, such as charters, have entered the mix of K-12, selecting a school is an increasingly complex endeavor for parents. Recent research shows that an abundance of school choice doesn't guarantee access, and many parents in high-choice cities struggle to find adequate information, transportation, and, ultimately, the right school for their children. But some cities, like Denver, are leading the way in practices to help ease the burden on parents, such as universal enrollment systems and partnerships between districts and charter schools to assist parents in making informed choices. Our guests will discuss the realities, research, and practice of guiding families through choice. Underwriting for the content for this webinar has been provided by the Walton Family Foundation

planning and enrollment services, Denver school districtBetheny Gross, senior research analyst and research director, Center on Reinventing Public Education, University of Washington This webinar will be moderated by Arianna Prothero, staff writer, Education Week Register now for this free live webinar. |
