In this webinar, the authors of the first four publications in the new ASCD Arias imprint discuss their projects, what inspired them to write, and practical ideas for teachers and school leaders on the challenges they face. The discussion features
Mark Barnes Susan Brookhart Alex Gonzalez Thomas Hoerr
  • Mark Barnes, author of The 5-Minute Teacher: How Do I Maximize Time for Learning in My Classroom?
  • Susan Brookhart, author of Grading and Group Work: How Do I Assess Individual Learning When Students Work Together?
  • Alex Gonzalez, author of Teaching with Tablets: How Do I Integrate Tablets with Effective Instruction? with Nancy Frey and Douglas Fisher
  • Thomas Hoerr, author of Fostering Grit: How Do I Prepare My Students for the Real World?
Each standalone ASCD Arias resource will answer a crucial and timely "How do I...?" question, in a convenient 48-page format that can read in one sitting, with ideas that you can immediately put into practice.
We encourage participants to bring questions for the presenters on these topics—grading, grit and resilience, teaching with tablets, and student-centered instruction—and to share their own "How do I...?" questions they'd like to see answered in future ASCD Arias publications.
