| This four-part series will pair an inquiry question with a central professional text – Shifting the Balance, by Jan Burkins and Kari Yates. To prepare for each session, we’ll read a portion of this informative text, as well as other resources. We’ll meet to share our thoughts, consider our questions, and make plans for more effective word-solving work with student readers. (Note from Kathy: Because this is not a book I authored, I don’t want to (nor can I) assume the role of expert or stand-in for the authors in our discussions. Instead, I look forward to facilitating and participating alongside you.) Session Details:
