This session emphasizes moving beyond using manipulatives as just tools for engagement, focusing instead on intentional implementation that promotes mathematical discourse, visual modeling, and student ownership of learning. Teachers will leave with ready-to-use strategies, task ideas, and practical ways to align manipulatives with grade-level standards and rigor.
This session will offer teachers the opportunity to learn about the campus literacy library and all it has to offer. We will walk participants through responsive ELAR Small Group Instruction using the resources found in the literacy library (leveled texts, lesson folders, decodable texts, Reading/Writing strategies books). We will also discuss how to incorporate responsive writing instruction with the literacy library resources in the literacy small group structure. We will also talk through how teaching up can be accomplished through small group while using the lesson folder as a starting point.
Refine your ability to provide responsive instruction. In this session, participants will observe a small group in action to analyze real-time decision-making and instructional adjustments. Teachers will walk away with tips and tricks of systems, routines, and progress-monitoring strategies designed to meet the unique needs of the students in front of them. (*This is part 2 of a 2 part training for literacy small group instruction. Participation in both is encouraged but not required. “Literacy Library Unlocked” is the part 1 course.)
