Literacy Leadership Team Intensive: Disciplinary Literacy in the Context of the Common Core

This is a two day event happening on August 4 and 5, 2016.

Come review the latest research, engage in conversation and planning, and build your network!
Dr. Moje will share a framework for thinking about disciplinary literacy, engage you in conversation and group processing, and provide you with ideas you can use in your districts, schools, and classrooms. We will also provide team building and planning activities to support the integration of disciplinary practices across the four core content areas.

Audience
CEDER is excited to announce the Literacy Leaders Team Intensive workshop series. We invite secondary level instructional leaders to build and bring teams of teachers from their districts and/or schools to explore research supported practices to develop disciplinary literacy across the curriculum. ISD consultants and coaches, as well district and school-level instructional leaders, will have the opportunity to learn about disciplinary literacy and effective instructional practices side-by-side with classroom teachers and then collaboratively plan ways to both implement this work at the classroom level as well as scale it up over time.

Standard registration (after July 21) – $250
Your registration fee includes lunch and 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:

• How DO literacy practices differ across content areas and disciplines?
• How do we design and implement learning activities that are aligned to content expectations and also support disciplinary literacy in different content areas?
• What instructional practices for disciplinary literacy are supported by the research base and how can I promote them in our schools and classrooms?
• How can we best support and develop academic vocabulary in this context?
• What are the limitations of the current research base with respect to secondary literacy?
• How do we develop disciplinary literacy for all students, not just advanced learners?
• How do we support and promote this work across multiple contexts?
