General Information
Participants will learn to:
- Develop an instructional strategy for steadily building essential skills.
- Provide targeted feedback that keeps students on course.
- Track student progress, easily and often.
- Adjust instruction in response to how well each student is learning— to give each child the help he needs, when he needs it.
Highly practical in its approach, the institute shows teachers and administrators how to connect deeply with their students, and to use this connection to develop their students' technical and expressive skills. Class time will be devoted to analyzing student work, developing a differentiated diagnosis, and determining strategies for responding to writers at various levels. Special attention is paid to addressing the needs of struggling students. Participants should expect to leave the course with tools they can immediately put to use in their own classrooms.
