Professional Development Webinars for Teachers
Gain practical strategies for teaching reading and writing
SMEKENS EDUCATION PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WEBINARS
Each webinar includes free professional development training
and comes with a note-taking handout.
Students at every level are expected to write about their reading. But without explicit instruction on how to weave together the inference with evidence and explanation, a polished, constructed response will be out of reach for most students. During this engaging online event, receive practical and engaging strategies to help all students tackle constructed-response writing with confidence.
