=== ** This workshop will provide support for designing instructional experiences that align with the common core standards. Dr. Serafini will discuss how novice readers learn to deal with complex texts and demonstrate what proficient readers do by engaging in think alouds and discussing the comprehension practices needed to make sense of text. This workshop will focus on discussion strategies to support reader's transactions with complex text and a framework for developing effective lessons in comprehension. Practical applications will be embedded in a research based theoretical framework. ** ===

=== ** There are 10 Anchor Standards for Writing that are common across all grade levels. Spiraling specificity is delineated in the grade-specific standards for each of the three broad strands (Opinion/Argument, Informational/Explanatory, and Narrative). We will explore how units of study may be organized, how the expectations spiral through the grades, and how we need to communicate these expectations across the school to be effective. ** ===
