Outline

We will begin by presenting with an interactive activity to get people to activate their prior knowledge about the science of reading. Then we will include a short overview on the “why” and significance for intentionally integrating these best practices when integrating ISTE student standards (10 min)

We will provide a process educators can use to review their current learning targets and standards and identify entry points for developing specific reading skills that correspond with specific ISTE standards. This part of the session will also include audience participation activity. (10 Min)
Specific examples of reading strategies and how the ISTE student standards have been integrated into specific content areas will be shared to help educators visualize what this work and student outcomes can look like. (10-15 min)

We will also share sample rubrics that educators can use to assess student skills for the ISTE standards, student growth in reading skill development, and provide instructional strategies that support formative feedback (7-10 min)
We will share teacher and student and data/collection research artifacts and tools to demonstrate how we are shifting our culture and building a deeper understanding around the integration of high impact reading strategies. (7-10 min)
Answer questions 5 minutes
