Learning Opportunities

TARGET AUDIENCE: GRADE 7-9 JUNIOR HIGH TEACHERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND

Imagine, for a moment, you look around your Junior High/High School classroom and every student is completely engaged in a book of their choice. When it is time to drag them away from their books, they thoughtfully choose a 'Theme Response Book' to write about the connections they noticed. Think you’re dreaming? This could be your new reality!  Join us for a ‘Book Love’ series, in anticipation of Penny Kittle’s full day session in Calgary on April 12th. We will begin by exploring ‘why students won’t read what we assign’ and leave with the knowledge of how to ‘nurture independent readers in a classroom community’. Join us to experience practical and effective methods, learn from experienced facilitators and engage in conversation with colleagues as to how we can increase our teens time spent reading.

Note: You are not required to register for Penny Kittle in order to join our Book Love Series.

This learning opportunity is being offered through curriculum implementation funding from Alberta Education.
