In my reminder, I said that the webinar is tomorrow (true), but that tomorrow is Tuesday (false). This is what happens when you get back to work after a three-day weekend.
So the webinar really is tomorrow, but that’s falls on a Wednesday. See you then. 😊

Developing Deep Knowledge with Complex Texts and Tasks Dr. Naomi Watkins, Secondary ELA Specialist, USBE
Traditionally secondary English Language Arts instruction is organized around the teaching of novels with students completing tasks in response to this reading. In this webinar, we will consider a reframing of ELA instructional planning that focuses on teaching readers how to develop deep world knowledge in response to essential questions through the study of complex texts and tasks.
Supports implementation of all 3 strands in the ELA standards (reading, writing, speaking & listening).
