Benefits

Educators can learn how reading, writing, and comprehension can be best administered according to science-aligned studies and the deep knowledge our speakers are happy to share with participants.

  • Provides comprehensive support for the implementation of science-aligned literacy practices.
  • Develops educational leaders through targeted training and strategic planning sessions.
  • Delivers a range of professional learning sessions that foster continuous development.
  • Introduces innovative and evidence-based teaching strategies for literacy.
  • Supplies tools for monitoring student progress and adapting teaching methods.

Goals

This workshop series will answer three important questions about science-aligned instruction:

  1. How do we support comprehension and knowledge-building through writing and discussion?
  2. What should effective writing instruction include to support both reading and writing?
  3. What instructional processes are effective in building a reading brain?

Join us to learn key aspects of science-aligned instruction from our national experts, and then dive deeper into the content in afternoon break-out sessions at the elementary and secondary levels.

The format was easy to follow and I appreciated that there were many ideas given that could be taken back to the classroom and used with ease. I also appreciated the more global view of reviewing/re-aligning curriculum to make things viable.
