Jen will present two sessions at this conference, schedule is still TBD

Title: Teaching Writing in Small Groups
Description: Drawing from Jennifer Serravallo's Teaching Writing in Small Groups as well as The Writing Strategies Book, this workshop will show you how just a few minutes of purposeful responsive teaching can have a big impact on your students. The emphasis will be on essential practices for forming groups (based on assessment), optimizing small group time to teach with efficiency and improve independence, and will offer advice for what the rest of the class is doing while you're working with small groups of writers. No matter what curriculum or core program you use, the engaging videos and Jen's ability to break down complex concepts into actionable, doable steps will equip participants to be able to try out the ideas from the workshop right away in their own classrooms.

Title: Teaching Reading Across the Day
Description: Drawing from Jennifer Serravallo's latest and bestselling book Teaching Reading Across the Day, this workshop will show you how to balance content, vocabulary, and reading strategies in lesson planning across subject areas -- ELA, science, and social studies. Jen will review key research from the science of reading and the science of teaching reading that will help you design engaging, explicit, effective lessons and will offer tips for balancing planfulness and responsiveness in each. No matter what curriculum or core program you use, the engaging videos and Jen's ability to break down complex concepts into actionable, doable steps will equip participants to be able to try out the ideas from the workshop right away in their own classrooms.
