Description

Hosted by our very popular tutor trainer, Linda Shiffman in combination with Jenn Pisarra, Reading Specialist and Oasis Liaison at Beall Elementary, participants will be given an overview of the two literacy programs currently being used in MCPS classrooms.  The remainder of the program will focus on reading non-fiction text with students. Examining text features and the use of a Know/Want to Know/Learn (KWL) chart will be modeled by the presenter and practiced by the participants. As always, there will be time for questions.

This training is now being offered as a hybrid model; virtually (via zoom) in addition to in-person at Oasis. A significant portion of the presentation will be interactive, as such to fully benefit in-person attendance is recommended, however virtual attendance is being offered as a second option. For virtual attendees, it is suggested you pick up materials at the Oasis front desk (non-fiction book & handouts) prior to the course.

This course is for active and on-break Oasis tutors only. Registration required.

Please register for this section if you’re attending in-person “AT OASIS”. If you will attend virtually, register for the section with “VIRTUAL” in the title.
