Intensive Literacy Learning Collaborative
in collaboration with
Intensive Literacy Learning Collaborative
The Intensive Literacy Learning Collaborative will take participants through the Science of Reading research and elements and will provide them with a deep understanding of the brain research behind each element as well as practical and applicable strategies to use in their classrooms. Teachers will authentically work in each element and have the opportunity to self-reflect on their practice. This work will be connected to the NYS ELA learning standards, the NYSED Literacy Briefs, and district-specific resources.
Goals:
● Develop a deep understanding of the Science of Reading and each element within the research;
● Connect each element with high-impact instructional strategies and apply them in their own classrooms;
● Determine and understand the appropriate grade-level standards connected to the elements of the Science of Reading;
● Develop a research-based Literacy block that helps teachers organize for teaching and learning around the Science of Reading elements connected to the teacher’s schedule;
● Have an opportunity to practice the learning in their own classroom with coaching support and the ability to reflect in a non-evaluative, low-stakes atmosphere.
