Manitoba Education and Training presents:
Reading Apprenticeship 3 + 2 Day Institute [NB: Days 1-3 were in August; Days 4-5 are coming in October] What if teachers explored how to apprentice students to their expertise as readers and thinkers in their subject areas? Reading Apprenticeship helps teachers support students to become motivated, strategic, and critical readers, thinkers, and writers. This research-based framework supports middle years and senior years students at all levels to develop positive literacy identities and engage with challenging academic texts in all disciplines. We welcome school teams from across the province to join this important inquiry and professional learning in the heart of a school division where Reading Apprenticeship has been successfully implemented. Teachers and administrators implementing Reading Apprenticeship continue to observe dramatic, positive transformations of students’ engagement and achievement not only in literacy, but also in learning across all academic disciplines. Reading Apprenticeship professional learning is grounded in inquiry and focuses on raising teachers’ metacognitive awareness of the disciplinary expertise in which we want to apprentice students.

The Reading Department of Clinical Support Services of Winnipeg School Division presents:
Jennifer Serravallo and Berit Gordon The Reading Strategies Book: A Guided Workshop With hit books that support strategic reading and assessment, Jen Serravallo gets emails almost daily asking, “Isn’t there a book of the strategies themselves?” Now there is. In The Reading Strategies Book, she collects 300 strategies to share with readers in support of thirteen goals—everything from fluency to literary analysis. Whether you use readers’ workshop, Daily 5/CAFE, guided reading, balanced reading, or any other approach, The Reading Strategies Book will help you to plan and implement goal-directed, differentiated instruction. In this workshop Jennifer herself will introduce the book and its structures in a one hour webinar. Following her introduction, Jennifer’s colleague, literacy consultant and author Berit Gordon, will guide us through the many ways in which the strategies collected in this book can help us to improve our practice working with developing readers K-8.
