Webinars

The stimulus bills of the past year (The Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021 (CRRSA), CARES Act, and American Recovery Plan) present both a once in a lifetime opportunity to make key investments to improve equitable outcomes for children and a real challenge for schools being asked to make detailed plans for their use.

The many ways the funding can be used require school systems to, in short time, make decisions that will have an impact not only on addressing lost learning opportunities from the past year and a half, but also the future direction of what education could and should look like in communities.

Join your K-12 colleagues and Pittsburgh Learning Collaborative convener and Executive Director of A+ Schools, James Fogarty, Esq., for a webinar discussing how community-based organizations can support you in creating the conditions for success for your investments.

We’ll explore:

• How to help your community understand the complexity of the policy
• Considerations for prioritizing funds to tackle learning loss
• Questions to help you clarify spending decisions and tradeoffs that made need to occur
• Short-term investments that can have transformational impact on the long-term health of your systems
• How to identify political forces and players you’ll need to engage to build support for investments
• Ways to run a transparent, equitable process that meets requirements set forth by the DOE

Take this opportunity to hear from a local leader about how you can navigate this moment to build stronger long-term progress for your students.

Description: Finding the right substitutes, tracking costs, ensuring compliance, and knowing where each employee or substitute is in real-time — it all comes down to effectively managing employee attendance.

In this webinar, you’ll see how Frontline Absence & Time makes it easy to:

• Get qualified substitutes in your classrooms to support uninterrupted student learning
• Track employee time and create and apply payroll rules that are unique to K-12
• Gain greater visibility into the absences and attendance across the district
• Ensure compliance with labor laws and bargaining agreements
• Manage absences and track time on the go with the Frontline mobile app (and let subs quickly accept jobs through the app, too!)

Amid a surge of teacher strikes stretching from california to oklahoma to west virginia and places in between, what is the chorus of voices and action telling us? how did we get here and what is the future of these movements?

In this Civil Discourse Webinar, Madeline Will of Education Week moderates a discussion between Deb Gist, Superintendent of Tulsa Public Schools and Patti Ferguson-Palmer, President of the Tulsa Classroom Teachers Association. Tune in to hear what Deb and Patti have to say more than a year after the conclusion of the Oklahoma strike. They share their experiences and observations and, importantly, ideas about a path forward.
