What:
- The Northern California Writing Project, funded by the California State University, is hosting a Reading Institute for Academic Preparation (RIAP). This institute will work closely with content area teachers to support the teaching of academic reading and writing. Our facilitators will focus on helping content area teachers develop reading and writing practices that are relevant to their discipline and engaging to students. Additionally, teachers will be informed about new CSU testing and teaching opportunities such as the Early Assessment Program and the 12th Grade Expository Reading and Writing course.
- The Institute will be led by Dr. Judith Rodby, who is currently project director for the Carnegie-funded National Reading Initiative, and author of three books and many articles on reading, academic writing, grammar, and ESL literacy. She will be joined by two experienced Northern California teachers, Deana Jacoby and Sara Pape.
When:
-
- May 19, 2007 (9 am-2 pm, Ayers 120)
- July 30-August 3 (9 am-3 pm, Taylor 210)
- 3 Saturdays in Fall (dates and locations TBD)
Who: All Secondary Content-Area Teachers
Upon completion, teachers receive a stipend of $750, and may pay for up to 5 university credits @ $55.00/unit. Each participating teacher will be asked to compile a student case study that demonstrates the acquisition of critical reading and writing practices.
