Please join Growing Educators for this exciting opportunity to learn how to improve writing and reading instruction through a process-based workshop approach. Jessica Martin and Renee Houser, co-directors and founders of Growing Educators, will facilitate large group sessions. Small group sections will be lead by their colleagues and local expert teacher leaders to provide both beginning and advanced participants with the essential elements of effective, research-based writing instruction.

Participants will:
• Broaden their knowledge of the most current research and the best practices
in reading instruction.
• Learn manageable steps for introducing and strengthening reading workshop & components of balanced literacy routines and traditions in their classrooms.
• Explore new units of study that match the soon to be adopted Common Core
State Standards (CCSS).
• Imagine possibilities for using each component of balanced literacy.
• Learn ways to match readers to leveled texts.
• Create tools to differentiate instruction for students with special learning needs.
• Study explicit techniques for supporting English Language Learners.
• Practice ready-to-use strategies for developing inferential thinking.
