Your registration fee includes a subscription to the School of Education’s Teaching and Learning Exploratory (TLE), an online library of teaching videos with tools for engagement and sharing, as well as basic instruction on how to use the TLE.
Additionally, we will provide you with ideas for professional development materials as well as research references that you can quickly adapt to your own contexts to support the professional learning of educators, as well as school improvement planning, in your schools and districts.
During the intensive, we will engage with questions such as the following:
- What is an appropriate number of high frequency words to target in kindergarten and how should they be taught?
- How can we help teachers grow in their ability to teach phonics effectively?
- How can the vocabulary standards that are spread throughout the CCSS be addressed efficiently?
- What kinds of teacher questions support students in meeting the standards for reading informational text?
- How can we design units that address many standards across CCSS strands?
- What are we in danger of leaving out in CCSS-aligned instruction?
