Comprehensive Literacy Institute

A Seamless Design for Continuous School Improvement

REGISTRATION CLOSED!!!

Date:  June 21-25, 2010

      The Partnerships in Comprehensive Literacy (PCL) Institute is designed to support schools in implementing a seamless approach for comprehensive school improvement. The Framework for Literacy uses a workshop approach for differentiating instruction to meet the needs of all students, including whole-group, small group, and one-to-one conferences. Schedules and organization techniques are provided and literacy components are discussed, including guided reading, literature discussion groups, shared reading, mini-lessons, focus units, and other literacy-related topics. Other features include: literacy coaching, collaborative learning communities, intervention groups for struggling learners, and assessment walls for progress monitoring. Video examples and materials from PCL schools are used to illustrate how teachers are implementing comprehensive literacy components into the school day.

A team approach is suggested, including intervention specialists, classroom teachers, and school administrators. 

Comprehensive Intervention Model Institute 

SPACE STILL AVAILABLE!!!

Dates:  June 28 - July 2, 2010

     The institute will focus on how schools can implement the Comprehensive Intervention Model (CIM) with a range of literacy interventions for meeting the diverse needs of struggling learners. 

Comprehensive intervention provides for the unique differences encountered among increasingly diverse schools.  A comprehensive intervention plan enables school teams to be decision makers in planning and providing the most effective and highly tailored interventions based on the needs in a school.  Highly tailored layers of support are provided to change the achievement profile of a school. 

A team approach is suggested, including Reading Recovery teacher leaders, Reading Recovery teachers, intervention specialists, title one teachers, special education teachers and school administrators.
