Hoover City Schools Learn, Teach, Inspire Conference Dates: February 18-19, 2019 Location: Spain Park High School Follow HCSLTI on Twitter @hcslti #HCSStrong #HCSLTI
In this session three secondary LA teachers will share how they are using the pedagogy outlined in Kate Roberts' book entitled A Novel Approach. In her book, Roberts explores two camps in the LA teacher community: "those who believe in teaching reading through teacher-driven whole-class texts and those who believe in teaching primarily through independent reading and skills instruction" (5). Roberts suggests marrying the best methods from each approach to build independent readers within a class community. The presenters will explain how they have adapted methods from this book during the first semester of this school-year. This session is open to all secondary LA teachers.
