It's the Tuesday morning literacy block and students are settled into their texts. A glance around the room provides a sense of relief that things are going well; you hear a book club spilling over about the surprise ending, see independent readers (pencil and stickies in hand) leaning into their book, and your conferring list seems doable today. After meeting with readers throughout the morning, you review your notes and feel perplexed—again—about some recurring patterns.
The joy of teaching coexists with the weight of ensuring that every child can access their right to literacy. Collecting mounds of data—from the numerical to anecdotal—fuels important conversations about what is and isn't working as we strive to make sense of how each unique learner engages with the complex process of reading.
All of this important work can lead us to search for learning opportunities that might help us understand and address troubling patterns. As part of your commitment to providing the best reading instruction possible, you know you need to do some focused professional learning to improve student outcomes.
Below, you'll see a curated collection of PD options designed to elevate your expertise in reading instruction, developed and presented by Heinemann authors, education practitioners, and researchers.
