K–6 educators will walk through a process using the TEAMS framework that makes high levels of learning for all literacy scholars not only possible, but probable and practical.
Paula Maeker will explore how to provide equitable literacy instruction and assessment so every student masters essential standards. Teachers will navigate the teaching and learning of reading through the lens of the PLC at Work® process, learn strategies for using data as collaborative teams to answer the four critical questions of learning, and access templates and protocols to improve literacy for all.
