This session provides essential support for teachers new to the PISD phonics curriculum. We will explore our framework in a "Week at a Glance" approach and teach the basics of our research based phonics routines that balance explicit instruction, guided practice, and independent application.
How can you help students read like a writer and write like a reader? In literacy workshop classrooms, students inhale author's words and ideas and exhale their own interpretations and extensions of those thoughts in conversations and responses.
This course empowers First Grade teachers to "teach up"—moving past a one-size-fits-all approach to meet the needs of diverse learners. Participants will learn how to maintain the integrity of the core curriculum, while strategically accelerating phonics instruction for high achieving students.
In this session, teachers will learn how to use student data to form flexible, homogeneous groups and design targeted instruction that meets varying needs. Participants will reflect on their current WIN Time practices and refine their approach for greater impact. By the end, they will leave with a clear, actionable plan to implement WIN Time effectively in Unit 1.
Are your students recording your words, or are they actually learning them? It’s time for notes to live in students' heads and not just their notebooks! Stop Scribing, Start Thriving is designed for upper elementary teachers ready to trade 'copy-and-paste' habits for authentic student understanding and note-making. Discover how to empower your 3rd–5th graders to synthesize information in their own voices.
