Wednesday, June 15 Concurrent Sessions 1 9:30AM – 11:00AM
1A
Auditorium
It's all about the SHIFTS: ELA
Explore how the Florida Standards bring ELA to life as teachers practice the shifts of using complex text and its academic language, citing evidence from literary and information text, and building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction. See how Close Analytic Reading and Scaffolding Complex Text help meet these shifts and allow students to become better readers, writers, and speakers!
Target Audience: ELA Teachers, District/School Leadership
Presenter Stephanie Radford, Volusia County Schools, Regional Resource Teacher, K-5 ELA
