Adolescent Literacy—Key to Raising Student Achievement in the Content Areas
Presented on Wednesday, May 20, 2009, 12:30 p.m. – 1:30 p.m. (Eastern)
Students cannot meet standards in the content areas without strong literacy skills. Yet, content area educators traditionally have not been trained to teach literacy. A number of schools have found success in meeting this challenge. Hear about what’s working, why, and resources available to you. Includes information about the Adolescent Literacy Collaboratory, developed by The Education Alliance, where content teachers engage in technology-enhanced, job-embedded professional learning supported by coaches. As they learn how to implement research-based instructional strategies, participants become "literacy ambassadors" in their own schools—building capacity to sustain this important effort.
