This virtual, half-day session will be presented by Nancy Motley, author of Talk, Read, Talk, Write. What is this training about? Talk, Read, Talk, Write (TRTW) is a practical approach to classroom instruction that helps students meet and exceed the state standards for learning in the core classes while also developing the literacy skills needed for success in the 21st century. Participants will experience the TRTW approach as learners themselves and receive step-by-step instructions for how to implement the approach using actual classroom examples. Other training topics include: how to facilitate structured conversations; how to hold students accountable for active participation; how to move students toward successful independent reading and writing; and how to troubleshoot common roadblocks to reading, writing, and talking in the classroom.
