Adolescent Literacy Collaboratory

Is literacy a focus of your school improvement plans?
Should it be?

Year-long, job-embedded professional development for NWEA partner schools

THE REALITY:
Students cannot meet standards in the content areas without strong literacy skills.

THE ISSUE:
Content area educators traditionally have not been trained to teach literacy.

THE OPPORTUNITY:
The Adolescent Literacy Collaboratory, offered to NWEA partner schools by The Education Alliance at Brown University

THE OUTCOME:
The Collaboratory builds literacy leaders at your school.


The 2008–2009 Collaboratory is a year-long professional development program for interdisciplinary teams of middle school and high school teachers using the Northwest Evaluation Association's MAP Reading Assessment.

The Collaboratory begins with a five-day, face-to-face Orientation Institute and continues online throughout the school year. You have two options for attending the institute:

  1. For districts or regions sending 1–4 teams, the institute is in Providence, RI, August 4–8, 2008.
  2. For districts or regions sending 5 or more teams, schedule an institute in your location between July & September 2008.

For application information, or to schedule an institute at your district, contact loomat signalliance.brown.edu.
