    Building Behavioral Services That Reintegrate and Graduate Students: The Path Back

    This edWeb podcast is sponsored by The LEARN Academy. The edLeader Panel recording can be accessed here. For many students with significant behavioral needs, the traditional path leads out: out of the classroom, out of the district, and too often, away from a hopeful future. Buckeye Union High School District (BUHSD) in Arizona knew this wasn’t acceptable. Students placed externally rarely came back, and when they did, there was little structured system support to help them transition successfully. In this edWeb podcast, education leaders explore how BUHSD built an in-district behavioral services model that keeps students connected to their schools, communities, and futures. Panelists, including Exceptional Student Services Director Scott Acton, share strategies grounded in 15 years of real-world implementation. You learn: How to shift from punitive discipline toward therapeutic, student-centered approaches that produce lasting behavior changeHow to design reintegration pathways that set students up for success when they return to home campusesWays to align behavioral, academic, and social-emotional supports without a full program overhaulBUHSD’s model produced measurable results: increased reading and math performance, reintegration rates among the highest in Arizona, and graduation rates approaching 90%. This edWeb podcast is of interest to K-12 district leaders, special education directors, directors of student services, and school leaders responsible for behavioral programming.

    The Cost of Getting Literacy Wrong: Long-Term Decisions, Lasting Consequences

    This edWeb podcast is sponsored by Really Great Reading. The edLeader Panel recording can be accessed here. Literacy remains one of the most urgent challenges facing districts today. While many schools are investing in curricula and intervention, the real question is not how we achieve isolated gains. The question is how we scale literacy outcomes across entire systems. This edWeb podast examines three elements that consistently drive reading success: Aligned professional learning and high-quality materialsCaring educators who support struggling readersStrong feedback loops that show whether instruction is workingDistrict examples highlight how leaders align instruction, foundational skill building, like strengthening word recognition through oral language development, and use evidence to guide the purchasing and implementation decisions that drive outcomes. When literacy improves, performance across all subjects improves with it. This conversation focuses on the leadership decisions that make that possible. This edWeb podcast is of interest to K-12 teachers, school leaders, district leaders, and education technology leaders. Really Great ReadingWe Do Big Things for Districts.

    Just-in-Time Support vs. Intervention: Why the Distinction Matters in MTSS

    This edWeb podcast is sponsored by HMH. The edLeader Panel recording can be accessed here. When the distinction between just‑in‑time support and intervention is unclear, even well‑designed systems can lose coherence—and students can miss critical opportunities for support. This edWeb podcast clarifies the practical differences between the two, why both are essential within a strong RTI/MTSS framework, and how leaders can ensure each is used intentionally and effectively. Listeners explore how time horizon and depth of need should guide instructional decision making, what happens when these distinctions become blurred, and the systems schools need to support both approaches without overwhelming educators or weakening intervention efforts. Dr. Bonnie Cochran, National Director of Innovation and Analytics at HMH, serves as presenter and moderator, joined by district leaders who are leading this work at scale: Serita Dodson, School Improvement Strategist, Frisco ISD (TX)Sarah Jay, Executive Director of Equitable Multi‑Tiered System of Support, Boston Public Schools (MA)Marie Garrido Zoeller, Curriculum Supervisor for English Language Arts, Broward County Public Schools (FL)Together, they share real‑world perspectives on establishing clear decision rules, aligning teams across departments, and building sustainable structures that ensure students receive the right level of support at the right time.
