Engage & Empower Literacy Learners
With Author and Teacher, Penny Kittle
September 20, 2019
Moving students beyond compliant reading and writing and into engaged reading and writing takes focused planning. How can we create a volume of practice that improves reading, writing, speaking and listening? We will study a balance of opportunities for students to demonstrate independence and increased proficiency across a lesson, a unit, and a year.
We will examine classroom structures that place volume, choice, modeling, and feedback at the center of our instruction. Participants will work with other educators to:
- consider the balance of independent reading, book clubs, and core texts over the course of a year
- consider the balance of writing discourses and opportunities for students to demonstrate agency and independence
- collect engaging seeds for writers’ notebooks
- practice modeling revision moves that improve a text
- plan book clubs centered on essential questions and select books across a range of complexity
- invite students to generate thinking in response to their reading
- create opportunities for digital composition across the school year
- design practices to improve reading fluency, poetry performance, and TED-talk style presentations
- find sentences, passages, and whole texts that will mentor our students in specific writing craft and editing moves across genres
- design assessments that ask students to cite evidence of their learning
