Upcoming Workshops:
On Track for STAAR: A Road Map for RLA Success
Students need a full year to develop the grade-level RLA skills required to complete the complex tasks on the newly updated STAAR read-write assessment.
Explicit instruction needs to begin early and follow an intentional road map.
During this strategy-packed virtual workshop, Texas educators from grades 3-12 learn to execute a yearlong instructional plan that intertwines the TEKS reading comprehension and response skills within a systematic scaffold.
This workshop goes beyond simply outlining the skills educators need to teach. It shows teachers how to teach these skills effectively.
