Differentiated Instruction: Helping All Learners Achieve the New Standards
Differentiated Instruction: Helping All Learners Achieve the New Standards
This session is designed to empower teachers with strategies that vary instruction and student activities based on readiness, interest, and instructional needs. Particular attention will be paid
to the importance of assessment in not only driving the instruction but also in determining what scaffolding and differentiation is needed to support all students as they face the grade-level standards. The focus will be on lesson planning, instructional delivery, and student activities that result in classrooms where students are active learners, decision makers, and problem solvers. Session Number PD5
EARLY LITERACY
The Building Blocks of Literacy: Developing Literacy Interests and Abilities During the Preschool Years
The Building Blocks of Literacy: Developing Literacy Interests and Abilities During the Preschool Years
In PreKindergarten classrooms, children should be engaged in developmentally appropriate, joyful explorations of literacy, language, and print. But what does this really mean? What do
effective early-literacy programs really look like? What research supports current best practices? In this session, we will examine critical language and literacy practices for today’s PreKindergarten classrooms. Participants will learn strategies for developing children’s phonological and phonemic awareness abilities, alphabet knowledge, and print knowledge and will gain ideas for creating an environment that promotes enthusiasm and motivation for learning to read and write. Session Number PD30
PreK and the BIG FIVE: Building a Firm
Foundation for Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Fluency, Vocabulary, & Comprehension
PreK and the BIG FIVE: Building a Firm Foundation for Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Fluency, Vocabulary, & Comprehension
Researchers have identified the strongest predictors of young children’s later reading, writing, and spelling success, as well as characteristics of environments
that contribute to gains that are linked to later literacy outcomes. In this hands-on session, we will explore how findings from research in early literacy can be addressed in programs for children ages three through five. Emphasis will be on the design of developmentally appropriate and meaningful instructional experiences to facilitate the acquisition of pre-reading, as well as future reading, writing, and spelling skills and abilities. Session Number PD31
