When teachers have a range of evidence-based solutions at their fingertips, and a solid plan to effectively use them, they can better meet the needs of students who struggle with math.

Join CORE’s Director of Mathematics, Dean Ballard, for best practices and practical advice to support these students.

Dean will review:

• How to plan for and use time for intervention
• What the focus of intervention time should be — foundational knowledge, today’s lesson, and/or tomorrow’s lesson?
• How and what types of assessments to use
• What materials to use for Interventions
• Daily fluency work

Help accelerate math achievement with resources and strategies that ensure students receive instruction and supports appropriate to their individual needs.

Reading is a complex process that involves quickly and accurately recognizing words, understanding the meaning of words, and making sense of their meaning in context. Students identified with reading difficulties most often struggle with word reading.

During this on-demand webinar Dr. David A. Kilpatrick, author of Essentials of Assessing, Preventing, and Overcoming Reading Difficulties, discusses the importance of understanding the nature of word-level reading development and word-level reading problems in order to accurately assess reading difficulties and implement effective interventions.

Watch the webinar to learn:

• How children learn to read words and why some struggle
• Why some commonly used intervention approaches provide limited benefits for weak readers
• Intervention approaches that studies have shown to yield very large reading gains for students with word reading difficulties

Since the 2017 Supreme Court ruling on Endrew F. v. Douglas County School District RE-1, many school districts have put a renewed focus on ensuring students with disabilities not only receive a free and appropriate public education (FAPE) but true educational equity.

During the webinar, Dr. Michelle Hosp, Associate Professor of Special Education at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and Dr. Arun Ramanathan, CEO of Pivot Learning, examine special education in the post-Endrew environment. These experts share:

• Common challenges faced by school districts and educators in complying with the Endrew ruling
• An overview of why ambitious IEPs with clear goals are more important than ever
• Strategies for collecting and analyzing data to guide IEP goals and interventions
• Strategies for evaluating IEP goals across a district to ensure rigor and consistency
• The importance of professional learning for special education and general education teachers and paraprofessionals to create inclusive classroom where all students, including students with disabilities, can meet their educational goals

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain insights into how other districts are setting high expectations for students with disabilities and supporting their progress toward meaningful goals.

CORE is excited to partner with digiCOACH, an advanced online coaching system, to provide the districts and schools we work with a powerful tool to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of their teacher coaching. CORE will facilitate the implementation of digiCOACH and support school leaders in learning how to use the data they collect to inform and guide ongoing professional learning for their staff that leads to improved instruction.

Through the digiCOACH platform, CORE Educational Consultants will have access to the data collected from the classroom observations of the schools they work with which will help them identify gaps in knowledge and areas in which school leaders need additional guidance.
