Teachers as Literacy Leaders (Grades 6-12)

In this multi-day workshop, Dr. Mary Ehrenworth of Teachers College, Columbia University, will work with teachers on methods and practices of teachers leaders.  We will focus particularly on literacy, and mostly (but not entirely) on workshop methods that lead students to be more powerful and more passionate readers and writers in a twelfth grade AP or IB class or in a sixth grade English Language Arts Classroom.  

 

Some of the work we’ll tackle together will include: 

 

·       Studying student writing to democratize teacher knowledge of writing

·       Norming student writing using shared tools

·       Teacher demonstration skills 

·       Creating structures, methods, and toolkits for conferring and small group work

·       Becoming adept at demonstration, inquiry, and guided practice methods

·       Close reading skills for fiction and nonfiction

·       Raising the level of discourse in a classroom and a school

·       Implementing parent workshops to increase family support for literacy

·       High-level planning within coherent units of study

·       Leadership and coaching techniques for increasing knowledge and cohesion                  among adults 

 

This cohort will best serve teachers and coaches in classrooms and schools that are deeply engaged in literacy work and are either familiar with or eager to study the work of The Teachers College Reading and Writing Project at Columbia University.  Participants also need to commit to meeting three times across the year.
