The workshop goal will be to create English language arts (ELA) and mathematics instructional resources for grades 3 - 8 and the high school Interim Connections Playlist using the Tools for Teachers Instructional Resource Quality Criteria. ELA resource development will focus on reading (i.e., literary texts or informational texts), while math resource development will focus on a selection of Claim 1 Targets. Additionally, participants will pilot the creation of instructional resources for grades K - 2. Final SNE selection is based on the content needs of the workshop.

It is important to note that all selected participants will be required to complete online training before attending the workshop. Enrollment in the online training modules will occur approximately one week after participant invitation acceptance/registration.

Invitations to the workshop will come from event travel coordinator, Collaborative Communications, and are scheduled to be delivered at the beginning of May. Be sure to check all of your email folders (including your junk folder) for your invitation to register for the event. Please register for the event as soon as you get your invitation.
