What are Literacy Labs and Why do They Work?

Are you curious to know how to get teachers to take risks and get on cycles of continuous improvement? Implementing Literacy Labs in your building is one way to help teachers use current research to inform their instructional practices. Join Cris Tovani and Sam Bennett for a two-day seminar exploring how Literacy Labs work. They will outline systems and structures that keep student learning at the heart of professional development. Participants will have the opportunity to investigate the mainstays of Literacy Labs that are: planning, observation, and feedback.

Recommended Audiences: District professional development leaders, administrators, instructional coaches, teacher leaders, and anyone who wants to improve how students read, write, and think.
