Riverside Insights Announces Webinar Series to Help Educators to Gauge Student Progress and Decide Next Steps
"Skip, Repeat, Intervene" webinars will empower educators to measure pandemic-era learning gaps, determine individual needs, and drive positive outcomes for students through informed decision-making
ITASCA, Ill., Sept. 29, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Riverside Insights®, a leading developer of research-based assessments and analytics, announced today the launch of a webinar series to run from September 22, 2021 through October 14th, titled "Skip, Repeat, Intervene." This complimentary webinar series will focus on helping educators and administrators in evaluating student progress through the pandemic's disruptions and determine the next steps for each learner.
"The COVID-19 pandemic has now stretched into the third academic year, exacerbating the challenges facing educators as they work to ensure that students are progressing along their learning journeys. Now more than ever, it is absolutely critical that educators have all the resources they need as they approach the all-important question of whether grade-level content — or the grades themselves — should be skipped or repeated, and when more targeted, personalized intervention is required," said Chief Digital Officer, Anand Iyer. "With each curated session, educators will learn best practices for ensuring that all students can meet and exceed their potential despite the pandemic's disruption to learning."
Each "Skip, Repeat, Intervene" webinar is designed to address the particular needs and challenges of distinct student groups and will feature a fireside chat with an educational expert. Riverside Insights will present the following webinar topics as part of the series:
- "A Framework for Considering the Best Options for Students with IEPs," was held on Wednesday, September 22 and featured educational consultant Jenny Ponzuric, MA, LEP, ABSNP.
