Lone Star Literacy Institute
Education Service Center Region 11
The Lone Star Literacy Institute is a two-day learning experience designed to immerse elementary teachers into an effective literacy block. Learners engage in a balanced literacy approach to integrate the foundational components of reading and writing, meeting the needs of all students. Teachers also explore assessment, guided reading, and classroom management techniques necessary to conduct small group teaching and provide differentiated instruction. Participants leave with a fully developed unit and resources for conferring with readers and writers.
Lone Star Literacy Institute FINAL
Engaged Adult Learners
Although we take a broad and comprehensive look at literacy, the content is digestible and delivered in an interactive, hands-on way. We take in consideration the needs of adult learners, ensuring they have a meaningful, memorable professional development experience. Additionally, teachers can dig a little deeper and complete micro-credentialing activities provided through Canvas.
Deliberate Practice
Through a well-designed immersion experience, teachers step into the role of student, analyzing how their instruction impacts the children they serve. Small group instruction is the lifeblood of a workshop classroom, and this institute provides teachers with an opportunity for deliberate practice in guided reading, strategy instruction, and individual conferring in both reading and writing.
Job-Embedded Support
The high-quality Canvas course is digestible and accessible online. The content can flexibly be explored in large chunks or bite-sized pieces. Teachers will get real-time support through follow-up coaching and strategic feedback. The face-to-face learning sessions are interactive, and ongoing, job-embedded support is provided by the trainer or trainers.
