Disciplinary Literacy for Secondary Leaders

Disciplinary Literacy for Secondary Leaders


If we have learned anything about learning this school year, it is that getting (and keeping) kids engaged is our biggest hurdle. As a secondary administrator, how can you support your teachers in moving toward more inherently motivating, academically rigorous learning experiences? The Michigan Association of Intermediate School Administrators (MAISA), General Education Leadership Network (GELN) and Michigan Association of Secondary School Principals (MASSP) are proud to announce a learning series built for secondary administrators looking to increase student motivation and engagement, as well as literacy skills, across all content areas. This brand new series has been designed with today's unique realities in mind--changed schedules, blended learning, potential interruptions to learning, and increased use of technology.
