CLASSROOM STRATEGIES FOR LEARNING IN
ACADEMIC SUBJECTS
INSTRUCTOR(S): Doug Buehl,
Adolescent Literacy Consultant
GRADE LEVEL: 6-12
CREDIT: 1 (This workshop will meet
on Monday & Tuesday only)
(Registration cost = $200.00)
Our students are challenged by
increasingly more sophisticated
reading demands as they progress
through the middle and high school
curriculum. In particular,
students must become more
accomplished learners within a
variety of academic disciplines -
they are expected to read, write,
and think, for example, like
historians, scientists and
mathematicians. Students may
develop their capacity as readers in
some academic disciplines, such as
literary fiction, but many remain
stalled as readers in others, such
as science or social studies.
Teachers participating in this
two-day workshop will be introduced
to specific comprehension strategies
identified by research that help
students unlock the academic
discourse essential to learning in
their content subjects.
Instructional applications of
strategies that mentor all students
as they develop their proficiencies
as readers and learners will be
modeled with texts from a range of
academic disciplines.
