AllThis session puts a spotlight on the ways that students construct meaning across the curriculum and on the belief that the deliberate development of students’ literacy skills is a shared responsibility. The Language Arts teacher, although a crucial driver of literacy learning, is but one member of the academic team whose role it is to embed authentic literacy --reading, talking and writing to know and understand -- in her subject discipline.
This 1-hour will focus on developing academic vocabulary, and teachers will leave with practical techniques and resources to apply in the classroom tomorrow.
All learning opportunities with the ERLC regional team will focus on the Alberta Education and district priority areas.
