Teacher Education Workshop- Strategies for Secondary Reading and Literacy
4:30 pm-6 pm
Virtual
Ms. Sallie Berndt hosts a virtual session all about secondary literacy and will focus on practical strategies and ideas that educators can immediately implement. During this session, participants will learn to identify and address the diverse literacy needs of secondary learners, in both content-specific and general literacy skills. Key areas of focus would include explicit instruction in vocabulary development, strategies for improving reading comprehension of complex texts, and techniques for fostering effective writing across disciplines. The session will also emphasize the importance of creating a literacy-rich classroom environment, including incorporating digital tools and promoting student engagement through active learning and collaborative activities. Participants will ideally leave the session with concrete examples, adaptable resources, and a renewed understanding of how to empower all students in the secondary literacy classroom.
Sallie Berndt has spent her entire professional career of over 19 years in middle schools, working with students and staff. Starting as an English Language Arts teacher, a reading interventionist, Reading Specialist, Instructional Coach, and now EMLSS (Equitable Multi Levels Systems of Support) Coordinator, it's safe to say that Sallie has a passion for secondary literacy! Through working with students and educators in several settings over the years, Sallie has a larger systems-approach to literacy and learning, and loves to inspire future and current educators.
