Culturally responsive teaching (CRT) is an essential practice to equitably educate multilingual learners (MLs) and support ML families. However, understanding what CRT looks like when implemented in schools and classrooms, especially in distance learning and hybrid environments, can be challenging to pin down. In this webinar, we will focus on sharing practical, research-based look-fors, tools, and strategies that you can use to integrate CRT for MLs. Join us for an engaging, interactive session to get new ideas about how CRT can become an integral part of your practice no matter what your instructional model looks like this year.

In too many classrooms, instruction suffers from large amounts pseudo-communication, which is the use of language to obtain external rewards (e.g., points, praise, stars, grades). This type of communication tends to focus on short-term memorization and accumulation of short answers. Authentic communication, on the other hand, is the use of language to build up key ideas and engage in productive collaborative arguments. This type of communication focuses on long-term depth and construction of core concepts in a discipline. In this webinar, Jeff Zwiers describes how to improve all dimensions of learning (content, cognition, language, social, agency, etc.) by enhancing instruction with three main features of authentic communication.

Evidence lies at the heart of Visible Learning. In fact, one of the key starting points of Visible Learning involves school leaders having robust discussions about what impact means in their schools, which includes an understanding of where students are in their learning, what progress looks like, and how to determine next steps. Essentially, “knowing thy impact” means connecting what educators do with what happens to learners. In this webinar, Professor John Hattie will discuss why it's important to “know thy impact” and how to implement a cycle of inquiry, evaluation, and implementation into your school.
