SESSION 1: TEXT DEPENDENT ANALYSIS

SESSION 2: ESL/STRUGGLING LEARNERS
Wednesday, July 17
9:30 a.m.–noon
This session will explore the classroom management, student-centered learning, and ESL Best Practices that transcend grade-levels, learning abilities, and language barriers to help all students thrive in your classroom!
SESSION 3: MEANINGFUL MAKING
Wednesday, July 24
9:30 a.m.–noon
This session focuses on how you can marry literacy instruction with the maker learning movement. Participants will leave this workshop with ways in which they can amp up their teaching of reading and writing by including more physical activity, collaboration, and purposeful “making” whether or not a makerspace is present in their school.
