Turn-Around Reading and Readers in the CLASSroom

This one day workshop is designed for teachers in the elementary grades, instructional coaches, literacy coaches, administrators, after school specialists, tutors, administrators, and anyone else concerned with providing the highest quality reading instruction and literacy contexts for all children. In this terrific workshop participants will:

  • Learn about the social class-sensitive, five-part framework for differentiated instruction in reading;
  • Examine how social class and poverty play a role in reading and language in the classroom;
  • Analyze social class and poverty in popular culture, media, and literature through critical reading practices;
  • Design learning opportunities around working-class children's literature;
  • Create a concrete plan for individualizing reading instruction for "struggling" readers and enhancing literacy for all students.

Invite your administrators to attend the Leading Class-Sensitive Schools which is taking place at the same time!
