This workshop can be taken as a stand-alone workshop. It also serves as part of the New Teacher Academy and the Academic Literacy Project Year 2 series.

Dr. Marcia Tate is a world renowned educational author of the book, “Worksheets Don’t Grow Dendrites” where she challenges many of the traditional ways in which students have learned in a school setting.  Marcia has developed a list of 20 strategies to help engage students in the classroom. Participants will experience content-specific ways to engage students’ brains while those students master rigorous curricular standards. 

ALP Day 2
Academic Literacy Project goals are to become familiar with and implement research-based literacy strategies that will increase student achievement for all learners. The 2-day training will be based on the following research-based recommendations:
    ·   Provide explicit vocabulary instruction
    ·   Provide direct and explicit comprehension strategy instruction
    ·   Provide opportunities for extended discussion of text meaning and interpretation 
    ·   Increase student motivation and engagement in literacy learning

Academic Literacy Project Day 1 is November 14 or 15, 2017 and Day 2 is January 10, 2018 - Dates are listed separately so you must register for both dates.
