Event Description:

How might we move tasks into meaningful conversations and thinking? Please join Erika Lusky and Julie Rains for a unique opportunity to develop student engagement, reading comprehension, critical thinking, listening and speaking skills in a collaborative culture of thinking. As featured in Ron Ritchhart's latest book, Creating Cultures of Thinking, Enbrighten is a framework for scaffolding student interaction and dialogue in any classroom environment. This 4-part series is designed so that participants learn about and practice using the Enbrighten scaffolding tools together, return to school and try them with students, and then come back together as a group to reflect on, share and innovate their own implementation. Special Education Teachers, General Education Teachers, Speech-Language Pathologists, Teacher Consultants, Learning Consultants, Interventionists, Literacy Coaches, At-Risk Coordinators, and Media Specialists who wish to engineer effective discussions and develop the communication skills of their students using narrative and informational text in a culture of thinking are encouraged to join.
