TARGET AUDIENCE: ALL GR 3-6 TEACHERS AND EA'S ARE ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND

According to our new Ministerial Order, “Literacy and Numeracy are the foundational building blocks of learning”.  Learn how language comprehension and deeper thinking, through an interplay between visualization and oral language, can enhance students’ literacy and numeracy skills.   You will leave with practical ideas and resources that will develop students’ reading comprehension and math problem solving skills.  These practices are good for all students, particularly English Language Learners and students with learning disabilities or ADHD.   

This session explores:

  • new brain research on how visualization impacts sense making
  • how to improve comprehension through structured visualizing and verbalizing
  • connections between problem solving and visualizing
  • effective communication
