Students’ reading comprehension and, more importantly, their understanding of the world around them, are supported by a foundation of knowledge. This session will support educators as they use close reading of content-rich texts to build knowledge along with decoding and other language comprehension skills. Participants will walk away with practical, classroom-ready ideas for using reading experiences to deepen thinking and connect readers to the world.

Dr. Blochowiak will share actionable insights and stories on how intentional leadership rounding can empower district and school administrators to address the unique challenges of public education, helping you create great places to work, learn and succeed.
