Does your assignment for 2023-24 include teaching English Language Arts in Grades 7-9?  Whether you’re a first-year or a seasoned teacher this collaborative online community is for you! Join us as we explore the classroom practices that help to  build confident, capable readers and writers. Our monthly conversations will be teacher-driven and responsive to needs and interests as they arise. Here are some of the questions we will be thinking about?

  • How do we address reading stamina and fluency, as well as vocabulary and background knowledge as they impact success on both reading and writing measures?
  • How might we shift to  a student-centred approach to various text genres (i.e. short fiction, non-fiction, the novel, film study, poetry, drama, etc.)
  • How might teachers create routines incorporating personal writing, mentor texts, and mini-lessons to build writers with a more authentic voice who can adapt to various contexts, including the Grade 9 PAT?
  • How might the best practices in feedback and assessment be better understood/applied so as to develop more skilled, confident writers?
