MAKING LEARNING HAPPEN: UNPACKING CHALLENGE, RIGOR, AND ACADEMIC GROWTH

Please join us for a guided discussion with long-time Learning Specialist and Educational Therapist, Jess Durrett and our curriculum specialist, Erika Sneath.

Jess has over 14 years experience as a learning specialist and a Master's degree in Special Education from New York University. Her experience in and out of rigorous, bilingual, and therapeutic classrooms has led her to focus on her passion– working with families, students, and teachers to better understand how (not just what) children with unique profiles learn. This webinar will share ways in which parents, teachers, and tutors can look at academic tasks to support growth in specific areas. Below are examples of questions that can be answered by this approach.

How can I challenge my gifted child in math?

How can I support my struggling reader?

How can I cultivate a love for writing in my resistant child?

How can I help develop my child's comprehension?
