Have you often wondered how to help students in your classroom who can’t seem to access your content? For students with poor reading skills, trying to keep up often feels overwhelming. Research shows that the teacher can make a difference at the secondary level to increase learning. Using secondary Math and Science standards, participants will practice embedding word recognition, vocabulary and comprehension strategies into their lessons in order to support their struggling readers.

Presenter(s): Elsa Iglesias and Liz Massey from Buncombe County Schools will be your presenters. Elsa is currently the EC Curriculum and Instructional Specialist for Buncombe County Schools, and currently provides PD for teachers in reading and math in her county. Liz Massey is the Multi Tiered System of Support (MTSS) Coordinator of Buncombe County Schools and a Literacy Specialist trained in the Science of Reading.

Do you feel like traditional ideas of grouping might need to be revisited? Are there better ways of grouping that could increase engagement in your classroom? Join us for a whole-day session focused on flexible grouping for Secondary (6-12) classrooms. We will explore the purpose for flexible grouping, how to get it started  and how it supports differentiation. We will focus on planning for and managing groups, as well as specific procedures for implementing flexible grouping in your classroom. We will be basing this workshop on the book, The Flexibly Grouped Classroom: How to Organize Learning for Equity and Growth ( 2022) by Kristina J Doubet. Mandy Taylor,  Sr Content Specialist at NCCAT and April Spencer at WRESA will be co-facilitating. If you have questions contact April aspencer@wresa.org
