MCTE Fall Workshop 2021
featuring KELLY GALLAGHER!
Four Essential Studies:
Beliefs and Practices to Reclaim Student Agency
About the Workshop:
Compliant reading and writing is not the same thing as engaged reading and writing. So how do we engage adolescent readers and writers? This workshop will explore ways to deepen your students' engagement through four essential studies: essay, poetry, book clubs, and digital composition. Integrating these studies with teacher demonstrations, the skillful use of mentor texts, and effective feedback empower students and increase their decision-making skills. Kelly will share how teachers can use these studies to also develop students' independence, transform students' relationship with literacy, and prepare them for the more demanding work of college.
