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 the following questions:
- What is the difference between content area reading and disciplinary literacy, and why does it matter?
- How DO literacy practices differ across content areas and disciplines?
- What instructional practices for disciplinary literacy are supported by the research base and how can I promote them in the schools where I work?
- What are the limitations of the current research base with respect to secondary literacy?
- How can identify research-supported literacy programs and evaluate their quality and relevance to our contexts?
- How do we develop disciplinary literacy for all students, not just advanced learners?
