On May 18, 2017 the Alliance for Excellent Education and America Achieves held a webinar on how high schools are using global best practices to change classroom instruction and improve student outcomes.

Panelists discussed specific instructional practices and strategies highlighted in a new report by Policy Studies Associates (PSA), including communication strategies at the district and school levels, using data to drive improvement, engaging students through technology and real-life connections, and differentiating instruction to address differences in students’ needs.

The webinar documented both the “what” and “how” of instructional practice, providing practitioners with global best practices—big and small—to consider from their respective vantage points within their classroom, school, or system. Panelists also addressed questions from the online audience.

Please direct questions concerning the webinar to alliance@all4ed.org. If you are unable to watch the webinar live, an archived version will be available at https://all4ed.org/webinars approximately 1–2 business days after the event airs.
