2024-25 Recordings and Resources

This webinar offers an overview of current practices in literacy instruction in light of recent changes to reading standards. The basics of Structured Literacy, including meeting the needs of multilingual learners and students with dyslexic characteristics, will be addressed.

This session will introduce strategies for long-term teacher wellness (in physical and mental domains). This is currently an age of many challenges facing teachers, from book banning and political mandates to addressing a variety of student needs, including pandemic learning loss and subsequent changes in social behavior. Without proper wellness strategies, teachers will quickly burn out.

Let’s face it, “well-being” can feel like a broad, even nebulous target. In reality, it’s a multifaceted set of values often overlooked in the busy life of an educator. This interactive session introduces the Wellness Wheel, a tool to help participants prioritize eight key areas of wellbeing: physical, emotional, social, professional, environmental, financial, recreational, and spiritual.

Attendees will assess their satisfaction in each area and reflect on where care is most needed, equipping them to create intentional self-care strategies and set appropriate boundaries to protect their most valued areas. The session also explores how these practices can foster a healthier classroom culture by providing educators with the tools to model self-care and giving students the resources to build resilience, prioritize their own well-being, and thrive both in and out of the classroom. Discover how the Wellness Wheel can become your framework for a balanced self and a thriving classroom!
