Literacy Matters Workshop:
Across the Content Areas
If kids can't read, nothing else matters.
This session explores the role of all teachers as teachers of reading and writing; teachers of speaking and listening and communicating. In this highly interactive workshop, participants define what literacy means to them. They look at the impact of literacy on the subjects they teach and the content students learn.
Based on research-based, "best practices" from a text entitled, Literacy Matters, this is a professional development opportunity for K-12 teachers across the disciplines, to begin to learn simple and effective strategies that foster literacy in their classrooms.
Participants leave with dynamic classroom strategies ready for immediate back-home use. |
