Upcoming webinars
Each webinar is approximately 45 minutes long. Registration is not limited and you can forward this invitation to your colleagues as well:
Back to Basics: Building a Strong Foundation with Math Fact Fluency
Subject: Math
Students who can automatically recall math facts are more capable problem solvers, learn new math skills more quickly, and are more likely to succeed in future math courses. Unfortunately, many students still spend too much time and brainpower on fundamental facts. Find out how to help your students build a strong numeracy proficiency and how to receive a Reflex Educator Grant for your class for an entire year.

STEM Inquiry and the Effect of Mindset
Subject: Math, Science
Math and Science educators dream of classrooms where teachers encourage scientific inquiry and exploration, letting students draw their own conclusions rather than guiding them to an answer. Classrooms where teachers are facilitators that foster independent and creative thinking and exploration. In this presentation you will discover how STEM educator mindsets can impact the adoption of more open and authentic forms of inquiry in classroom instruction and how STEM leaders’ feedback can support a growth mindset and develop true, concrete understanding of Math and Science.

The Student-Centered Classroom
Subject: Math, Science
Personalized technology offers us the opportunity to create learning experiences centered around the students, rather than the content. However, the tools and methods available for creating such learning are not fully understood by all teachers. In this complimentary webinar, we will talk about using technology to create an inclusive classroom, to differentiate learning, and to create personalized learning experiences. Further, we will help teachers understand the difference between these three concepts.
Through a combination of instruction around the concepts and the use of Gizmos to show the concepts in action, teachers will come away with a rich understanding of student-centered learning through technology. We might even jump into the world of flipped learning.

Early STEM Education: The Foundation for Academic Success
Subject: K-2 Science
High-quality, early-learning environments provide children with a structure in which to build upon their natural inclination to explore, to build, and to question. Research confirms that early STEM skills are a great predictor of later academic success overall.
Join us for this complimentary webinar to discover how Science4Us, our K-2-focused program, can help you teach and promote STEM early on, while integrating English literacy through short stories, hands-on and digitally interactive activities, and much more!

STEM Projects Using Simulations
Subject: Math, Science
Whether you are back in your classroom or still teaching online, this session is for you!
Simulation-based design and inquiry-based learning can be embedded in any science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) course to enhance the delivery of the material and help balance the time devoted to theory, problem-solving, and skill development.
Join us to learn how interactive online simulations can be used as a virtual laboratory to complement or replace your hands-on school labs, as the foundation for project-based learning activities, or for a virtual school science fair. During this session, we will unpack a few examples and provide teachers with concrete activities they can use right away in their classrooms.

Blended Learning
Subject: Math, Science
Blended learning has become a de facto form of schooling across educational institutions worldwide. However, there is a misconception that blended learning is simply a combination of online instruction and classroom work. Take a deep dive into blended learning with a focus on STEM. We will be talking about the key elements that need to be accounted for, best practices for using blended learning effectively – whether with students, teachers, or parents – and ways to avoid common pitfalls.
