How might we integrate whole class lessons, small group work, and individual conferences to support students’ growth as readers and writers? Join us to discuss ways to enhance student engagement by integrating reading and writing. When teachers make these connections apparent, students comprehend more deeply, write more meaningfully, and develop individual identities as readers and writers in the world.
PEBC is proud to host literacy leaders, Dan Feigelson and Ellin Keene who will offer classroom-ready strategies teachers can use tomorrow and throughout the year and share videos of integrated classrooms that highlight key practices from their new books; Radical Listening: Reading and Writing Conferences to Reach All Students by Dan Feigelson and The Literacy Studio: Redesigning the Workshop by Ellin Keene.

Agenda
Day 1 ~ Why Integration?
To what degree do we currently integrate reading and writing, what obstacles do we perceive? Participants will engage in a discussion about integrating reading and writing in their settings, and Dan and Ellin will support participants' deeper understanding of the impact of integration.
Reading and Writing – How might reading and writing serve as gateways to identity and empathy?
Ellin and Dan will share ways in which comprehension strategies and qualities of writing can be used to integrate reading and writing in two settings: whole group instruction and conferring
Crafting Sessions – How teachers can weave standards, curriculum, and student intentions for whole group instruction?
Integrated Conferring – How do teachers confer with readers and writers? What are the similarities and differences in conferring with readers and writers?
Day 2 ~ The Nitty-Gritty of Integration
Ellin and Dan will share ways in which comprehension strategies and qualities of writing can be used to integrate reading and writing in three settings: conferences, small group instruction and reflection
Mirrored Conferences – How might we conduct conferences that are fluid and responsive?
Invitational Groups – How might we fully implement needs-based small group literacy instruction for readers and writers?
Reflection Sessions – How might we craft sharing opportunities that are a true learning experience for all readers and writers?
