| Overview: | |||||||||
| Learning experiences are what bring a Concept-Based Literary classroom to life. Teaching to a conceptual level of understanding does not mean that all your “old” literacy learning experiences are no longer relevant or valued. Learn how to weave together current literacy practices with inductive inquiry to deliberately leverage students’ conceptual understanding of what it takes to be a capable reader, writer, viewer, speaker, listener, presenter, and researcher. In this hands-on inquiry based workshop, participants will experience Concept-Based Literacy in action while also learning effective tools for designing learning experiences that cultivate deep conceptual understanding and transfer. This includes guided time to design a Concept-Based lesson to be used in your own classroom. This workshop is for teachers who have previous experience with Concept-Based Curriculum and Instruction and who are ready to take their teaching to the next level. |
