The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) just released two webinars to introduce educators to evidence-based resources that support instruction. Given the heightened demands on educator time this school year, the webinars have been prerecorded so they are available to listen to when convenient.
What Works Clearinghouse Webinar on Evidence-Based Math, Reading, and Writing Tips for In-Person and Remote Instruction
In this webinar, educators and experts provide an overview of the different WWC resources for integrating evidence-based practices within in-person and remote instruction. Educators and experts highlight examples of math, literacy, and writing instructional tips from the following WWC resources:
- Support Children’s Understanding of Algebra by Using Multiple Strategies to Solve Problems
- Evidence-Based Recommendations for Remote Math Instruction in the Secondary Grades
- Evidence-Based Recommendations for Remote Reading Instruction in the Elementary Grades
- Improving Adolescent Literacy: Effective Classroom and Intervention Practices
- Evidence-Based Recommendations for Remote Writing Instruction in the Secondary Grades
The webinar and full list of resources discussed in the webinar are available on the WWC website: https://ies.ed.gov/ncee/wwc/
