March 21, 2012: Turn-Around Reading and Readers in the CLASSroom
Description: This one day workshop is designed for teachers in the elementary grades, instructional coaches, literacy coaches, administrators, after school specialists, tutors, administrators, and anyone else concerned with providing the highest quality reading instruction and literacy contexts for all children. In this terrific workshop participants will:

• Examine how social class and poverty play a role in reading and language in the classroom;
• Analyze social class and poverty in popular culture, media, and literature through critical reading practices;
• Design learning opportunities around working-class children’s literature;
• Create a concrete plan for individualizing reading instruction for “struggling” readers and enhancing literacy for all students.
