Final Session: Teachers Teaching Teachers Literacy



Overview:
Subjects Matter: Exceeding Standards through Powerful Content-Area Reading, by Harvey Daniels and Steven Zemelman, is one of the best textbooks for secondary teachers there is. As we will be reading many chapters in this book, it will create a foundation for our learning together. Each pre-service teacher will teach an assigned number of chapters to her/ his peers through a 20-minute interactive workshop, incorporating what we have learned throughout the course about molding literacy learning and content area applications.
Rubric Instructional Strategies | Interactivity The teacher facilitates participant learning through a series of activities that capture and hold the participants’ curiosity and foster authentic learning.
Multimodality Due to a combination of four audio, visual, video, digital, and print materials, the teacher offers rich nuance, varied examples, and layering that really captured the audience’ attention.
Content The teacher digs deeply into the Daniels and Zemelman assigned chapters, revealing intensive literacy theories, concepts, and practical applications for learners. Teacher/ participant talk ratio The teacher speaks 25% of the time, and the participants speak 75% of the time.
Provisioning and timing Materials are planned, prepared, and shared with remarkable efficiency, attention to detail, and care, and the timing is impeccable: activity received an appropriate amount of time.
Comprehension check/ Formative assessment The teacher makes sure the participants “got it” in an efficient, complex, and insightful way.
