Description
Council of the Great City Schools and Student Achievement Partners co-sponsor
Text Set Project Conference
December 8-9, 2014
Baltimore, MD
The Text Set Project is a professional learning opportunity that will involve:
- learning the research base underlying the critical role knowledge-building plays in reading success
- coaching and support in selecting the books and articles that could form a solid text set, learning how to sequence the set effectively, and how to support students in building knowledge about the world, words and language structure as they read the texts for themselves.
- extending beyond the in-person training, to include expert reviewers working with each production team remotely to review the materials and coach the team until the Text Sets are ready to be published.
