Over the course of eight weeks, we will take a deep dive into the teaching of literacy—where we’ve been, where we are now, and where we want to go. Together, we’ll reflect on how literacy instruction has evolved, explore the essential elements of effective practice, and examine different approaches in depth.

Program Overview

Weeks 1–2: We’ll start by reviewing the evolution of literacy instruction, reflecting on how we got here, and identifying what’s most important in our practice—our non-negotiables, negotiables, and how to fit it all in.

Weeks 3–6: We’ll unpack key approaches to literacy instruction: the Science of Reading and Balanced Literacy, phonics, Guided Reading, and the workshop model. For each, we’ll explore what it is, why it matters, how to teach it, and how to plan for it in the classroom.

Week 7: We’ll bring everything together, thinking intentionally about how to integrate these components into a cohesive, effective literacy plan.

Week 8: We’ll close with a celebration of learning—showcasing growth, sharing takeaways, and reflecting on next steps as a community of learners.

Active Methodologies in the Classroom: A 2-Hour Online Workshop

In this interactive workshop, we’ll explore how active methodologies can transform learning by shifting the focus from teacher-centered instruction to student-centered engagement. Participants will be introduced to a range of practical strategies—such as stations, choice boards, and jigsaw activities—that foster agency, accountability, and deeper understanding. Together, we’ll discuss why this shift matters, examine examples of active methodologies in action, and design simple plans for immediate classroom use. By the end of the session, participants will leave with concrete strategies, ready-to-use ideas, and the confidence to begin making their classrooms more engaging, participatory, and learner-driven.

Ao final da sessão, os participantes sairão com estratégias concretas, ideias prontas para uso e a confiança para tornar suas salas de aula mais envolventes, participativas e centradas no aluno.

 

Using the Workshop Approach to Teach: A 2-Hour Online Workshop

In this hands-on workshop, we’ll explore the workshop model as a powerful structure for teaching and learning. Participants will unpack the core components—mini-lesson, independent work time, conferencing, and share—and see how this approach fosters differentiation, student choice, and deeper engagement. Together, we’ll look at examples of the workshop model in action across different subjects and begin drafting lesson ideas that can be applied right away.

By the end of the session, participants will leave with:
A clear understanding of the workshop approach, practical strategies for implementation, and the confidence to create a more student-centered environment and effective classroom routines.
