by Watkins, Naomi 06 Nov '23

06 Nov '23

November's Secondary ELA webinar is on Monday, November 13, 4:00 - 5:00 pm Reading with Purpose: Selecting & Sequencing Texts to Support Critical Understanding with Dr. Lauren Liang, Associate Professor of Educational Psychology, University of Utah **Supports implementation of Reading Standards 6, 11, 12, 14 REGISTER HERE<https://usbe.midaseducation.com/professional-development/courses/course/633…> Learn about the "PURPOSEful Framework" for creating effective text sets. 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. SAVE THE DATE! December's Secondary ELA webinar will be held on Tuesday, December 5 from 4:00-5:00 pm and will focus on using native literature in your classroom. More info coming soon.
