LINKS™ Strategy Workshop Series

This LINKS™ Metacognitive Strategy Workshop Series gives teachers the tools and strategies for helping all students, including struggling learners, become independent readers and writers. Teachers will use their classroom materials to learn how to infuse LINKS™ metacognitive thinking strategies into daily instruction. Teachers will also learn how to help students develop strategic fluency critical to learning high-level content in standards-based classrooms.

Teachers learn how to help students build confidence in themselves as independent learners. Teachers also learn how to organize and use data derived in the classroom to organize and differentiate instruction delivering high-level content to struggling learners. In turn, students will learn to independently employ appropriate strategies for reading, writing, and learning information.

On-site full and half day sessions are designed in consultation with district administrators and focus on the following topics to build strategic fluency for all learners:

• Scaffolding strategies for reader’s and writer’s workshop
• Content reading and writing and assessment strategies
• Reading, writing, and learning strategies in math
• Study skills strategies
• Assessment strategies and structures for open response
• Data-driven differentiated Instruction
• Collaborative teaching and inclusion strategies
