The goal of the framework is to aid educators in creating a purposeful, carefully curated text set where the individually selected books and sequenced arrangement work together to present an opportunity for students' engagement in critical thinking and growth in both cognitive and affective realms. The PURPOSEful Framework includes six steps to curate and sequence the high-quality texts used in the set. The unique emphasis on sequencing is driven by the careful curation work that happens prior, and ultimately creates scaffolding for students' deeper understanding of a specific content topic or area.

It says that traditional methods don't really help, that we should teach in context. But what does that mean, especially with so many challenges to teaching in general-and attitudes toward language learning specifically? In this webinar, we will look at some quick ways to start putting language learning into our classrooms in ways that will help students read and write better-and, just maybe, bring an interest in language into the classroom.
