Assessment Practices for Accelerating Learning (K-5 Math) with Erma Anderson
Thursday, May 5,12, and 19,26, 2022 (Four sessions)
7:00 PM HKT (60 Minutes)
Formative assessment is critical for showing us what students have and have not learned. However, formative data does not always provide clear, actionable steps for determining where students are in their learning and how best to move learning forward. One way to use formative data more effectively is in conjunction with a quality learning progression, a blueprint for how learning typically develops over time.
How to End Bullying and Cyberbullying at Your School with Nicholas Carlisle
Thursday, May 5, 2022
7:00 PM HKT (90 Minutes)
Student bullying and harassment are some of the most painful challenges facing educators today. As schools went online in response to the pandemic, cyberbullying has increased and student civility has plummeted. Yet most teachers and school leaders have never been trained in an effective system for how to respond.
The Landscape Model of Learning: Designing Student-Centered Experiences for Cognitive and Cultural Inclusion with Jennifer Klein
Saturday, May 7, 2022
9:00 – 10:30 AM HKT
Most schools still function with age-level groupings and an industrial-era mentality about students, where we presume a common starting and ending point for all. While such systems may have helped us standardize education and make it more efficient, they make some students feel perpetually behind, hold back our most talented, and ignore the “middle.” Rather than shooting for access for all students, authors Jennifer D. Klein and Kapono Ciotti have developed The Landscape Framework to help teachers and leaders ensure the highest levels of success possible for all students.
A community dialogue on leveraging human-centered and humanizing approaches to DEIJ work in international education
Saturday, May 14, 2022
9:00 AM HKT
This is a community dialogue of self-identified Asian educators who are leading DEIJ in international schools. These leaders will share their experiences of a need for a human-centered and humanizing approach to this work, as well as systems and structures that define our actions. It is in this dialogue where we reflect on our individual and collective roles and responsibilities within the interconnected ecosystems.
