Session 1
Learn why students struggle for different reasons and how to identify what a reader may need.
You'll leave with:
- A Reader Observation Guide
- 10 practical if/then instructional responses
- One strategy to try with a student immediately
Beyond the Script
Become the kind of teacher who knows what to do when the curriculum isn't enough in 2 sessions
Who is this for?
This is for teachers who...
- Add a are faithfully implementing their curriculum but still have students who aren't making progress
- Know some readers need something different but aren't sure what to try next
- Feel caught between following the script and meeting student needs
- Are ready to make instructional decisions with more confidence
- Are tired of hearing what students can't do and want practical ways to help them move forward
Feel Confident Moving Beyond the Script When Students Need More
When the Curriculum Isn't Enough, Know What To Do Next.
This free 2-session workshop is for teachers who are faithfully implementing their curriculum but still have students who aren't making the progress they deserve.
You'll learn how to identify what readers need, take instructional risks with confidence, and respond in ways that help students move forward.
Because every student is different.
And every reader deserves more than a script.
We Don't Teach Another Program
Most professional development teaches teachers how to follow a script. We give you the tools to be responsive based on your unique students.
We Learn By Doing
After Session 1, you'll try one strategy with a student or small group and bring your experience back to the cohort.
We Focus On Students, Not Scripts
The goal isn't perfect implementation. We help teachers move beyond following lessons and start responding to the students sitting in front of them.
What Will You Walk Away With?
Try It With A Real Student
Between sessions, you'll choose one student and try one strategy.
No extra lesson planning.
Just a small instructional change designed to help a reader move forward.
Session 2
Bring your experience back to the group.
We'll discuss:
- What worked & what didn’t
- What to try next
- What to do when kids aren’t engaged
- How to build meaning into the earliest stages of reading
