GREAT GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS: MEETING THE READING, WRITING AND RESEARCH NEEDS OF ALL STUDENTS

INSTRUCTOR(S): Katherine Ruh, Education Consultant
GRADE LEVEL: K-12
CREDIT: 1
(Monday & Tuesday Only.  Registration Cost = $120)
 

This is an exciting session that focuses on "integration instead of isolation" within the required curriculum.  Teachers learn strategies for integrating reading, writing and research into every aspect of the school day as they make graphic organizers that focus on basic skills while teaching content area subjects.  Participants will view projects, reports, and classroom work made and developed by students.  They will also make numerous examples of graphic organizers, manipulatives, teacher-directed materials, and student reporting formats that can be used in their own classrooms, regardless of the level or subject taught.

This workshop present techniques for planning, implementing, and organizing integration while keeping in mind the diverse needs of students performing at many different academic levels.  Learn about  FoldablesTM that help students organize information in creative fun ways, while providing practice in basic writing skills, finding main ideas, reviewing vocabulary terms, comparing and contrasting, determining cause and effect, making graphs and table, and more.  Teachers will leave this course with outstanding classroom reading materials and ideas.
