SPONSOR SESSION PRESENTED BY NEA
Supporting Professional Excellence through Joint Labor-Management

The National Education Association (NEA) supports the professional growth of members throughout their careers. The Community Schools model, professional learning communities, coaching and other supports available through the NEA can build capacity for educators especially in places where the district and the union collaborate around teaching and learning. Learn how Joint Labor-Management collaboration increased strategic support for Los Angeles Unified School District's Community Schools and how practice support is leading to systemic and problem solving change within one school building.
SPONSOR SESSION PRESENTED BY KICKUP
Professional Learning Data Design: Balancing Accountability and Compassion
Monday, December 6, 6 PM – 7 PM (ET)
COVID threw coaches and educators into the deep end of blended learning — which meant professional learning teams had to focus even more strongly on meeting everyone where they were. Learn how one district adapted to balance accountability with compassion, ensuring a high bar for instructional practice while supporting teachers who were still building confidence around new strategies. Explore an instructional platform designed to support individual educator growth in the context of district goals, and hear from professional learning leaders on adapting district strategy to lessons learned.
SPONSOR SESSION PRESENTED BY WILSON LANGUAGE TRAINING
Achieving Literacy Success for ALL
Tuesday, December 7, 9 AM – 9:45 AM (ET)
Wilson Language Training is a provider of research-based reading and spelling programs for all ages. Its multisensory, structured curricula – Fundations®, Wilson Just Words®, the Wilson Reading System®, and Wilson Fluency®/Basic have been proven highly effective. The best way to achieve literacy success is to identify the individual student’s needs and then implement the correct teaching strategy. Come learn about the several literacy instructional models we have developed to meet the needs of distinct student populations: prevention and early intervention for K-3 students, intervention for older students, and intensive intervention. Each model differs in practice, intensity, and duration, but all have been designed to help students master the appropriate level of literacy. This networking opportunity will allow you to learn how Wilson works and more about our professional learning, coaching for teachers, and support for school administrators.
