Join Victor Jaccarino for a three-day interactive workshop/institute to help ELA teachers begin the process of writing a grade level standards-based curriculum based on The Science of Reading. During this process\, teachers will have the opportunity to collaborate with educators from other districts\, as well as receive feedback from colleagues. In the spirit of writing units with the end in mind (Understanding by Design)\, teachers will write a standards-based assessment for a 1-4-week ELA literature and reading based unit. Units will include reading and writing instruction. By the end of the second day\, teachers will have developed lessons for the unit that include whole lessons and formative assessments to inform instruction. By the end of the third day\, teachers will minimally have an outline of a complete standards-based unit\, and ideally a complete unit with a mid-unit assessment\, formative assessments\, protocols that promote collaboration and writing. It is recommended that districts send a team or teams of grade level teachers or teams teaching on different grade levels who can collaborate on the units that will become part of the grade level curriculum. There will be an expectation\, that on day 1\, participants will bring a full-length text that they would like to include in the curriculum\, or a series of short texts by a single author or held together thematically. The text(s) should be challenging and have multiple interpretations. Eligible for 18 hours CTLE credit.

You’ll leave with a stack of culturally responsive stories and fresh ideas to fill your classroom with joy\, belonging\, and the beautiful message that everyone’s story matters.
