DESCRIPTION

Our students are living in a highly literate world with access to unprecedented volumes of information.  Despite that many students struggle learning because of prior failure. At-risk middle and high school students often disengage from learning thus avoiding the practice they need in order to improve. This workshop will explore:

• helping build a digitally literate school of critical thinkers who can

   Employ sophisticated strategies in order to succeed;

• the strategies, including using academic and content area

   language, striving readers need to develop to be successful;

• ways of empowering your staff to provide appropriate support to

   adolescent learners;

• how a focused plan can give your staff the knowledge and skills

   to be able to implement a differentiated program to meet

   individual students needs.
