► Putting Readers First: Fostering Independent Learners Through Transformative Teaching

The ability to read is a fundamental right and a gateway to success, but becoming a reader means more than acquiring skills—it’s about fostering independence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning. How can educators help students master essential reading skills while building the confidence and competence to tackle complex academic tasks, explore diverse ideas, and take ownership of their learning?
In this institute, we’ll explore transformative practices that put "readers first" by building confident, self-directed learners.

Participants will:

• Connect the science of reading with the science of learning to deepen instructional impact.

• Experience evidence-based lessons that integrate social skills development with comprehension instruction.

• Analyze lesson routines that build foundational skills while promoting independence.

• Learn strategies to create an environment where students view literacy as a tool for academic success, personal growth, and understanding the world.

• Educators will leave equipped with strategies to empower students to thrive as lifelong readers and independent learners, recognizing the transformative power of literacy in their lives.

► Bringing Writing to Life: Exploring the Research and Practice of Writing Instruction
The writing session has been cancelled as of May 19th, 2025.
