Session two in this series of three Saturdays focuses on analyzing, understanding, and augmenting SpringBoard to achieve the expectations of both the CCSS and the CAASPP Performance Tasks with Informational Writing. Please bring your SpringBoard teacher’s edition and your laptop or device. Preferred audience will be 6-8 ELA teachers.
This session will focus on scaffolding instruction so that all students can be successful during the core reading block as well as examining intervention resources included with the program. Teachers will learn how the program design is intended to scaffold student learning throughout the course of the year through the gradual release of responsibility. Core program supports, such as strategies to meet the needs of various learners along with small-group reading resources will be explored. In addition, intervention resources that support student mastery of foundational reading skills will also be highlighted.
