Pivot Learning's Support Every Learner team presented at the Small School Districts’ Association 2019 Annual Conference in Sacramento, California about our work leading the Rural Professional Learning Network.

Many districts are continuing to offer remote learning to students due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Pivot Learning and CORE have compiled a list of free resources that either we’ve developed or that our trusted partners have shared to help educators tackle the difficult challenge of providing all our students with equitable access to learning, wherever it takes place.

As the number of English learners attending public schools continues to increase, educators from the central office to the general education classroom can benefit from understanding the best approaches for teaching literacy to this diverse population of students. In this on-demand webinar, Dr. Elsa Cárdenas-Hagan and Dr. Dale Webster explore each of the components of Structured Literacy along with evidence-based strategies for lesson design and effective implementation.

Word problems and real-life scenario tasks are increasingly being integrated into math instruction today and are even the center pieces of many math curricula. Problem-solving with math applications remains exceedingly challenging for students. During this on-demand webinar presented by Pivot Learning’s subsidiary, CORE, Dean Ballard, CORE’s Director of Mathematics, will share techniques to help students tackle math word problems.

Recent research indicates that students have inequitable access to grade-level materials and instruction along the lines of race and class. It’s now more clear than ever that closing the stubbornly persistent opportunity gap requires systemic change. In our work, we collaborate with districts and offer sustainable solutions for successful implementation and equitable student outcomes. Find out three effective change management strategies you can leverage in your district.

CORE provided professional development to elementary teachers and administrators in Pajaro Valley, CA, where, in addition to their broader English Language Arts instruction, we implemented the SIPPS reading foundational skills program. A study by SEG Measurement demonstrates that the professional development provided by CORE improved student achievement.

Pivot Learning and CORE are collaborating with two researchers from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst to develop guidelines for identifying and addressing reading difficulties, including dyslexia.

Most students with reading difficulties, including those with dyslexia, can be taught how to be strong readers. But before research-based instruction and intervention can take place, educators must identify which students are struggling and why. During this hour-long on-demand webinar, Dr. Michelle Hosp, whose research focuses on reading and data-based decision making within MTSS, will provide insights into assessment for reading difficulties.
