Overview
This virtual event is free to all educators. The EduJedi Leadership Society and Learning Counsel News Media & Research are responding to School and District needs with regional virtual 2-day events to bring both nationally significant insights and foster togetherness with local leaders sharing.
Everyone responding to Learning Counsel surveys nationwide, over 27,000 educators from administrations in districts, schools and states, are concerned about defining what’s normal now. Concerns range from streamlining lesson planning to recapturing missing students to managing special needs remotely. The biggest two things were motivation and logistics.
85% of educators are concerned about Student Motivation as their key issue in hybrid or remote learning.
70% of administrators are concerned about the logistics of time and space in hybrid schooling and what that does to teaching.
Learning Counsel has therefore put together special discussions centered around these two things primarily plus a much-needed new digital characteristics terms dictionary, and more.

- Rostering student data quickly and a safely

Everything Changed: Using Space & Time Today and Hybrid Logistics Best Practices
LeiLani Cauthen, CEO & Publisher, Learning Counsel News Media & Research
Description: What are the best practices being used in moving to hybrid, the behind-the-scenes logistics? Interesting gaps have emerged that tech is rushing in to help. New ideas like deploying PODs (Parents Over Development) teacher- leaders for neighborhoods to limit large gatherings on campuses, disassembling class structure into independent and distributed multi-grade home-rooms, partitioned on a campus, with tech to intersect students with teachers via auto-cohorting based on personalized pace for live or virtual classes using layered automated calendars tied to curriculum maps, and more. From the “we’re doing it on spreadsheets,” to the high-end systems, America’s schools are committed to delivering on the learning promise. Find out what we’ve identified from numerous successful districts and schools, and what is yet to come now that hybrid and remote learning is here for all.

The EduJedi have been busy with creating a draft comparative model to the age-old ADDIES model of instructional design, plus a set of new Standards that acknowledge the emerging complexity in the software-side of choosing and using tools. Both of these new elements are accompanied with the new EduJedi Dictionary of terms. This session presents these in brief and provides for discussion time about implementation and editing ideas from all attendees. Be sure to read or at least scan your Dictionary prior to attending!
