Adolescent Literacy Professional Learning Series

The Adolescent Literacy Professional Learning Series strengthens teachers’ understanding of how to explicitly and effectively integrate disciplinary literacy into content area instruction, ensuring that all students can access rigorous Tier 1 learning.

Designed specifically for educators in Grades 6-12, this series provides teachers with techniques and strategies to support literacy development in their subject area in 10 virtual instructor-led modules with follow-up activities and resources. These modules address questions such as:

• What happens in the brain when we read? How can this understanding inform our instruction?
• What are basic, intermediate, and disciplinary literacy? How do these levels impact reading grade level content material?
• How do we plan differentiated instruction to allow all students to access complex text?
• How do we analyze instruction to determine the presence of features of effective instruction?
• What is the importance of vocabulary acquisition? What impact does it have on comprehension?
• What role does strategy instruction play? How do high-leverage instructional routines support constructing meaning from text?
• . . . and much more!
