Due to the cancellation of the Science and Agriculture session, you are welcome to attend any of the next two days, but Doug Buehl recommends that if possible science teachers should attend Wednesday rather than Tuesday. Science handouts and science examples will be provided both days, but more examples and connections can be made on Wednesday given the connections of science and technical subjects represented within the standards documents themselves.
Doug Buehl will help secondary school teachers translate the literacy standards into meaningful subject-area literacy instruction in middle and high school classrooms. He will offer theory and research-warranted teaching practices in a humorous, conversational voice, yet make a clear case for teaching students how to read as an act of inquiry, a central requirement for disciplinary literacy.
