Building Biliteracy Implications and Applications of the Science of Reading for Biliteracy Instruction

msullivan155 — 2024-12-02 16:51:35 UTC

Transfer is important in all learning, but it is especially important in language learning contexts. When learning a new language, cross-linguistic transfer is most evident and critical, as those seeking to learn a new language apply what they already know in their first language to support their pursuit of developing high levels of oral language and literacy in the new language.

Silvia Dorta-Duque de Reyes presents practical research-based strategies that address universal literacy skills common to both the English and Spanish languages as well as language specific skills unique to each language. Contrastive analysis of skills will also be addressed and include caveats for less effective practices.

The Essential Role of Metacognition in the Sciences of Reading by Dr. Peter Afflerbach

msullivan155 — 2024-12-02 16:51:35 UTC

The Science of Reading research speaks to best practices necessary to support successful readers; however, today’s discourse around the “Science of Reading” often limits the scope of reading instruction needed to support all learners. In this brief Q&A, Dr. Peter Afflerbach explains why the “Sciences of Reading” provides a more comprehensive framework of the factors necessary for reading achievement, and the crucial role that metacognition plays in providing lasting reading competencies that ensure life-long reading success.

Teaching effectively often comes down to one thing that works for all students: active reading practice supported by a teacher who has an asset-based lens. Having an asset based lens means that you see the strengths in each student's unique background. You lean in and support a student by focusing on what each child needs as a next step in his or her growth as a reader. You teach to each, not teach to most. By providing the right scaffold for each student to become a strong and independent reader, you can achieve equity in reading. All students will be strong readers.

This webinar provides an informative and highly understandable review of metacognition—why it is an essential skill, and how to teach it to students so that they can develop as independent and successful readers. Reading-related tasks become more challenging for students as text complexity increases. In response, the research is clear: metacognition is the key to meeting the twin goals of comprehending increasingly complex text and successfully self-regulating reading. Metacognition provides continual feedback to students on how their reading is progressing, and encourages question-asking and reflection, all in the service of comprehending text. This webinar will discuss concrete ways to put metacognition to work in your classroom.

6 Essentials to Minimize Unfinished Learning by Marcus Newsome, Ed.D.

msullivan155 — 2024-12-02 16:51:35 UTC

We delve into the critical strategies and leadership required to address educational gaps caused by extended disruptions. Drawing from his experience as superintendent during the Great Recession and the COVID-19 pandemic, Newsome highlights the importance of preparedness and proactive measures. He recounts how Chesterfield County Public Schools successfully navigated these crises through technology integration, professional development, and a commitment to continuous improvement, ensuring minimal disruption to student learning.

The article emphasizes six essential approaches to mitigate unfinished learning: strong leadership, equitable resource allocation, high-quality instructional materials, evidence-based interventions, professional learning, and community engagement. By implementing these strategies, educators and policymakers can better support students, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, in overcoming educational inequities and preparing for future uncertainties. Newsome's insights provide a roadmap for creating resilient educational systems that prioritize student success and adaptability in the face of unforeseen challenges.
