Wednesday October 8, 2025 1:00pm - 2:00pm EDT
Presenters: Tiffany Byrd | [email protected] | Teaching & Learning Coach
Location: https://t.ly/coDO6
Description: Are you looking to transform your virtual breakout rooms from quiet spaces into dynamic hubs of student-led learning? This interactive 60-minute session is designed for K-12 virtual educators who want to move beyond basic group work and cultivate authentic student collaboration. We will explore the crucial difference between teacher-directed cooperative learning and student-driven collaborative learning. You will learn how to strategically use structured cooperation as a powerful scaffold, building your students' skills and confidence until they are ready to take true ownership of their work. In this session, you will: (1) Distinguish between cooperative and collaborative learning and understand the unique role of the teacher in each. (2) Identify key student behaviors that signal when it's time to shift from structured tasks to more open-ended projects. (3) Receive practical, grade-specific tools (K-12), including virtual activity examples, student roles, and sentence stems. (4) Leave with a concrete 45-day action plan and self-assessment checklist to guide successful implementation in your classroom. Join us to gain the clarity and resources you need to foster meaningful teamwork and empower your students in the virtual environment.

In this training, we will demystify Large Language Models (LLMs) and introduce you to Solara—Panorama's education-specific AI tool. Unlike general AI tools, Solara is built securely for schools to help educators interpret permission-based student data using natural-language questions, all while ensuring zero personally identifiable information (PII) is used for model training. We will dive into hands-on navigation of Solara's chat features, custom district tools, and usage dashboards so you can walk away ready to apply these time-saving strategies immediately.
