One-Day Workshop:
Units of Study Across the Year in Upper Grade Reading: Grades 3-5
Presented by Lucy Calkins
Overview
In Units of Study Across the Year in Upper Grade Reading, bestselling author Lucy Calkins will help participants plan and teach a year-long curriculum for readers, grades 3–5. Lucy is just completing a firsthand series to support this work. In this one day, you'll hear about ways in which thousands of teachers are creating rigorous, accountable reading workshops based on the work of Lucy Calkins and of the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project. You'll learn ways to design units of study, teach minilessons, and lead small group work so as to provide learners with the explicit instruction they need in prediction, envisionment, determining importance, synthesis and interpretation, among other skills. This conference will emphasize the importance of data-driven, assessment based instruction. You'll hear about ways to use assessment on the run as you teach, and to assess not only to match readers to books but also to inform your teaching of higher-level comprehension strategies. You'll learn ways to think about trajectories of skill development and to plan your record keeping and your teaching so that you support readers' progress along those trajectories. Above all, Lucy will share her newest thinking on units of study in reading. You'll receive practical, day-to-day support with units on character, historic fiction, nonfiction, and book clubs. The cost of this workshop is $219.00 per person. If you register 3 or more participants at the same time the cost is $209.00 per person. Tuition
