Transforming Our Teaching Through Writing for Audience and Purpose takes a whole school through a year of transformation. It leads to new, effective practices that raise students’ writing achievement by improving teachers’ confidence and their ability to teach writing in any genre, in any curriculum. more >

In Transforming Our Teaching Through Reading/Writing Connections, Regie Routman shows how to raise students' achievement in reading and writing through a model that interconnects these two literacies. The opening sessions ask teachers to articulate their beliefs about reading and writing and then align them with their practices. Subsequent sessions show how students' literacy understandings are deepened when children's work in writing is used to enhance their reading, and vice versa. more >

In Transforming Our Teaching Through Reading to Understand, participants become attuned to the end goal in teaching reading: independent, engaged readers who monitor their own comprehension. Teachers learn how to set up the classroom library, establish reading routines, teach and manage reading groups, increase comprehension in nonfiction and fiction, and effectively confer one-on-one with all students. This PD project also helps teachers skillfully use shared reading, literature conversations, and other research-based techniques to ensure all students become self-directed readers. more >
