Course Description

It’s all about the thinking. Through close reading strategies and experiences students are empowered to deepen thinking while observing and analyzing text for both craft and content. In this course (via videos, examples, discussion and practice) participants will gain confidence and clarity in knowing what quality close reading really is and how to teach these strategies to the diverse learners in the classroom. Participants will leave with specific “how to” steps, lesson plan templates, text dependent questioning techniques, text suggestions, and a wealth of knowledge and ideas to make quality close reading experiences a daily reality in the classroom.

 

Instructor will share strategies and resources that will support TKES Standards 1,3,7, and 8 with practical takeaways that will positively impact teacher practice and student achievement.
