February+17

It has been an ongoing priority of the district to integrate literacy and technology with Social Studies, Science, Math and other curricular areas. Our purpose for today's in-service is to illustrate how to explicitly teach and integrate the literacy skills and strategies in your content areas to provide deeper comprehension and student learning. We will model a lesson; discuss and debrief what was shown; then have the opportunity to create a lesson integrating today's learning with information from January 17th. The research based strategies will provide the framework for your ideas, while the collaboration will assist you to apply them to your content areas.
 * Welcome**

Teachers will be able to integrate literacy strategies into their Science, Social Studies and Math content area subjects. As a result their students will be able to engage in learning by comprehending a variety of texts, organizing information for learning, and promote metacognitive strategies.
 * Objective**
