Webinars for Private Schools

Recommended Learning Path

1. The Science of Learning

   Audience: English teachers, literacy specialists, curriculum coordinators, instructional leaders, school administrators

   Did you know that if you space your time properly, you can retain more during 40 minutes of studying than you can in 60 minutes? Or that studying similar things together can negatively impact your retention? This webinar explores the science of learning and dispels some of the common misconceptions surrounding how we learn.

   We’ll discuss the following:

   1. Effective study strategies that students can use in your class and beyond.
   2. The Spacing and Testing Effects.
   3. Why struggle is so good for memory.
   4. The forgetting curve and how to combat it.
   5. Membean’s unique pedagogical approach and why it’s so effective.

   You’ll leave this webinar able to help your student learn more efficiently.

2. Word Consciousness

   Audience: English teachers, literacy specialists, curriculum coordinators, instructional leaders, school administrators

   What’s the goal of vocabulary instruction? If you think it’s to teach words, think again! There are over half-a-million words in the English language, but only 3% are used regularly. Many of the remaining 97% are infrequently used, but they are essential to know in order to become stronger readers, writers, and critical thinkers. You’ll never be able to teach all the words your students need to know, but you can help them develop something equally as powerful: word consciousness.

   We’ll discuss the following:

   1. Why reading just isn't enough.
   2. What goes into learning a word on Membean.
   3. How our word pages provide students with rich and robust vocabulary instruction.
   4. The careful consideration that goes into every piece of handcrafted content.
   5. How our memory engine adapts to ensure long-term retention

   You’ll leave this webinar understanding why so many private schools love Membean and how it can help your students become better readers, writers, and critical thinkers.
