    Using Whole Texts to Foster Student Agency and Critical Thinking

    This edWeb podcast is sponsored by Fishtank Learning. The edLeader Panel recording can be accessed here. In a world of short clips, excerpts, and isolated passages, the ability to engage with a complete, complex text is a superpower. While passages have their place in assessment, research shows that immersion in whole books is what truly transforms students into critical readers, writers, thinkers, and global citizens. In this edWeb podcast, Emily Wojtusik from Fishtank Learning is joined by Katie Gribben, District Instructional Lead for ELA/Literacy at Cambridge Public Schools, and Rebecca Israel, Director of Literacy Achievement for KIPP New Jersey, two leaders with frontline experience building reading culture across entire school systems. Together, they explore how centering ELA instruction around whole texts serves as an act of equity: what it looks like to implement at scale, how it shifts teaching practice, and why they believe every student deserves access to the full power of a book. Listen to this session to discover: The Equity of Excellence: Why providing every student, regardless of their starting point, access to complete, high-quality books is essential for closing opportunity gaps.Cultivating “Change Agents”: How whole texts build the background knowledge and empathy students need to solve critical problems in their communities.Moving from Compliance to Integrity: Strategies for using high-quality curriculum materials to plan deep, text-based discussions that shift the cognitive heavy lifting from the teacher to the student.Intentional Support & Scaffolding: How to navigate complex whole texts with diverse learners while maintaining the “joy of reading” and instructional rigor.This edWeb podcast is of interest to K-12 school leaders and district leaders.

    Middle School Literacy: A Schoolwide Strategy, Not Just a Subject

    This edWeb podcast is sponsored by ClassMate by World Book. The edLeader Panel recording can be accessed here. Only one in three eighth graders reads at grade level.

    Building ELA Skills for Every Student: Designing for Learner Variability in Middle School (Part 1)

    This edWeb podcast is sponsored by Digital Promise. The webinar recording can be accessed here. The middle school years are critical for developing the literacy skills students will use for the rest of their lives. For some learners, the challenge isn’t just decoding words but negotiating the intense cognitive demand of managing new vocabulary and constructing meaning. By designing for learner variability—considering a whole-child framework of factors that includes learner background, social and emotional learning, cognition, and literacy—educators can ensure that all learners can unlock their true potential. Join learner variability expert Dr. Stefani Pautz Stephenson and literacy expert Dacia Toll for an insightful edWeb podcast on how to bridge the gap between the high-quality instructional materials that districts have adopted and the diversity of student needs that exist in classrooms. In part one of this three-part series, you learn: How to identify learner variability factors connected to building literacy skills and apply research-backed strategies to help middle school ELA learners thriveStrategies to foster high-level inferencing skills by providing each student with targeted, Socratic, one-on-one, and small-group supportThis edWeb podcast is designed for grades 6-8 educators, instructional coaches, and leaders committed to creating equitable pathways for every unique learner.

    Breaking Down Instructional Silos: Building Literacy, Math, and Future-Ready Skills in Elementary School

    This edWeb podcast is sponsored by Project Lead The Way. The edLeader Panel recording can be accessed here. Today’s elementary classrooms are becoming a critical starting point for planting the seeds of future-ready learning. Too often, however, with all of the curricular requirements, there’s limited time for teachers to add one more thing. This edWeb podcast isn’t about adding more. It’s about unlocking more. It explores how breaking down instructional silos and expanding interdisciplinary approaches can help elementary educators strengthen core academic outcomes while building the transferable skills students need for the future. Using an interdisciplinary lens, we look at how STEM-focused literacy and math can harness students’ attention by providing the “why,” and can become powerful entry points for problem solving, collaboration, communication, and early career awareness without overwhelming already stretched-thin teachers. Listeners see how integrated instruction helps students make meaningful connections across subjects, boosts engagement and confidence, and deepens understanding in ELA, math, and science. By the end of this session, listeners are able to: Describe the benefits of interdisciplinary instruction in elementary classrooms and emphasize how interdisciplinary approaches can strengthen literacy and math outcomes while supporting the development of future-ready skillsIdentify strategies for integrating STEM-focused literacy and math that promote problem solving, collaboration, and communication without adding to teachers’ workloadExplore examples of integrated instruction that help students make meaningful connections across ELA, math, and scienceApply practical, time-efficient approaches that build on existing curricula to increase student engagement and confidenceArticulate the rationale and proof points for interdisciplinary learning to support instructional decision making and schoolwide alignmentThis edWeb podcast is of interest to elementary school leaders and district leaders.

    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.
