Course Guide

Course Description

This course emphasizes research-based active learning strategies which participants will integrate into their grade level and content area classroom to enhance all students' learning. After implementation of these reading strategies into the classroom, participants will be able to plan lessons more effectively, discover how to engage students, deepen students' understanding of content, and prepare them for success beyond the classroom. Participants will discover how to enhance learning by using specific strategies before, during, and after reading.  Topics also introduced will include learning styles, multiple intelligences, intelligent behaviors, types of text, text structures, notation systems, assessments, and motivation.
