Strategies
|
|
September 9, 2010 9
a.m. 3 p.m.
REGISTRATION FEE: $60
Registration Deadline: 9/7/10
Registration LINK
An
internationally-known speaker and workshop leader,
Susan Zimmermann
is co-author of the educational bestsellers
Mosaic of Thought,
Second Edition (2007) and
7 Keys to Comprehension
(with
Chryse Hutchins, 2003). She co-founded and served as the
Executive Director of the Denver-based Public Education and
Business Coalition, an organization that has
spearheaded ground-breaking comprehension work.
During
her ten years there, she initiated numerous programs to improve
the quality of public schools, including the Reading Project,
which has been implemented in more than one hundred schools and
provides the examples in
Mosaic of Thought,
Second Edition, and 7
Keys to Comprehension.
Currently a full-time speaker and writer, Susan has given
hundreds of workshops, keynotes, and summer institutes in over
40 states, throughout Canada, and in Mexico on ways to deepen
reading and writing experiences for adults and children.
This
interactive workshop provides a snapshot of the comprehension
strategies while taking the participants on a journey into their
own reading.
It is based on the premise that for adults to understand and
teach the comprehension strategies outlined in
Mosaic of Thought
and
7 Keys to Comprehension,
they must first consciously apply them in their own reading and
discuss them with peers. |
