Building the Best Text Sets Workshop
Our students come to us with different lived experiences and learned skill sets. In order to ensure that every student has access to enduring understandings, concepts, and vocabulary, we must work to build an efficient bridge to grade-level materials. A well-built text set can be that bridge! This workshop will walk you through the creation of effective text sets, both big and small. If you teach in upper elementary, middle school, or high school, this workshop is for you!
Getting the Most Out of Decodable Texts
This interactive workshop is all about helping you make the most of decodable books in your literacy instruction. Decodable texts can do so much more than providing students practice with letter-sound relationships—they help students build reading fluency and can even improve comprehension. You’ll explore practical ways to plan lessons around decodable text and how to intentionally fold in language comprehension strategies while having students practice their decoding.

From Support to Self-Reliance: Strategies for Student Engagement and Independence – Asynchronous or Hybrid Learning Opportunities
Even when evidence-based practices are in place, our students may not make the progress we expect. This course explores how to bridge that gap by focusing on student engagement, motivation, and building independence. Learn about the types of engagement, strategies to boost motivation, and how to effectively provide—and fade—scaffolds. You’ll also explore the Hierarchy of Learning, opportunities to respond, and practical approaches to differentiate instruction in both Tier I and Tier II settings.
Evidence-based Strategies for Teaching Writing
