Speaking Topics
  • Removing the Masks of Disengagement: Strategies That Hook Our Most Reluctant Learners

    The best reading strategy in the world won’t work if students are disengaged. Now, more than ever before, students want authentic reasons to read, write, and discuss. During this daylong workshop, Cris Tovani will share planning structures and literacy strategies to help content area teachers anticipate and remove learning roadblocks so that students are more engaged. Cris will provide concrete ideas to re-engage students and improve the way they comprehend text.

    Participants will work toward meeting for the following learning targets:

    • I can describe what full engagement looks like.

    • I can plan so that students are engaged in the work of my discipline (reading, writing, discussing, creating, performing, solving, researching…) for more minutes of the class period than I am talking.

    • I can provide reasons for students to read, write, and discuss in my content area.

    • I can model for students how to monitor and repair meaning when reading complex text.
