Applying Strategy Instruction CCSS: Reading and Writing
Friday, January 14th, 2022 | 8:00am - 2:15pm *Please register by December 22nd
In this professional development teachers will extend their knowledge of research based instructional strategies in reading and writing to help students access the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). There will be a focus on implementing best practices in instruction, utilizing both the Gradual Release of Responsibility Model (GRMM) and Systematically Designed Instruction (SDI). Teachers will have opportunities for hands-on activities and peer discussion and collaboration. Through our workshop model teachers will plan and create scaffolds and lessons to implement back in their classrooms.
