Developing Student Motivation and Ownership with Readers Description: Too many students sit passively and wait for us to tell them what strategies to use and when to use them. It can feel as if students are doing just enough to get by and are missing the passion and ownership of their own reading lives. Based on her latest book, Dr. Gravity Goldberg will help us create classrooms where all students are purposeful, engaged, and strategic as readers. In this 2 day workshop series you will learn what gets in the way of student ownership and motivation, clear actions you can take to create more motivated readers, and leave with specific actions, tools, and resources to bring back to your classrooms. Materials: Bring a favorite book.

In this workshop we will learn the 10 most effective strategies that students can use when reading information. These strategies can be applied to reading in social studies, in science, and any research reading context. Teachers will leave this session with concrete ideas for what strategies to teach, how to teach them, and ideas for great nonfiction books to use. Materials: Bring 2-3 informational books or articles.
