 Thursday's Workshop

Participants will explore models for working with different types of text in each mode of communication in ways that prepare students for end of unit assessments. In the interpretive mode, strategies that allow learners to move from comprehension to making meaning will be modeled. In the presentational and interpersonal modes, emphasis will be placed on strategies that allow learners to advance their proficiency. Sample assessments for each mode of communication will be shared. Finally, participants will consider all that is involved in grading for learning while exploring an interesting dichotomy – students who won’t work unless there is a grade and teachers who grade to get students to work. Strategies for streamlining the paperwork involved in grading will also be addressed.

Check out the stellar line up of MALT sectionals for Friday October 18.
