| What would small group instruction that centers student needs, identity, and social-emotional well-being look and sound like? Would there be aspects that you recognize from your own small-group teaching with students? Come and explore a reimagining and reframing of differentiated instruction time using more poetry. Poetry has the power to strengthen literacy and empathy skills, spark engagement, and cultivate agency. We’ll also look at a variety of tools you’ll want to use to collect and organize student data, discuss criteria for designing equitable small group teaching lessons, and share strategies for progress monitoring the fluency, accuracy, and comprehension work of each of your students. | |||||||||
| Agenda: | |||||||||
| Session 1 - Collecting and analyzing data to make learning more purposeful and contextual to students’ lives Session 2 - Synthesizing data to co-create goals and action plans that decrease stress and anxiety while increasing the level of engagement Session 3 - Leveraging student interests and passions through poetry to enhance literacy instruction and cultivate empathy Session 4 - Monitoring growth to develop student agency and to ensure that your readers and writers are getting exactly what they need when they need it During the last part of each session, attendees will create a brief task to practice with 2-4 case study students and bring back evidence (student work, photo, video) of learning to share with colleagues at the start of the next class. |
