Calling all Lead Teachers, Coaches, Reading Specialist, Administrators or teachers wanting to improve their instruction!

If you are new to teaching or a veteran teacher, hopefully at some point you have been introduced to Balance Literacy. It's nothing new, an oldie but goodie that unfortunately is overlooked in many instructional approaches daily in classrooms. A balanced literacy approach gives access to learning for all students. It’s a form of differentiation in which we give multiple approaches for students to achieve the goal. Yet, for various reasons, not all classrooms are driven with various literacy instructional approaches.

It's unfortunate because life is about balance, so why not literacy? As humans we balance everything, time, chores, family, friends, kids, pets, work, fitness, hobbies, sports, I mean everything! We do this for many reasons. So why would we only teach one way. Why wouldn't we approach our instruction in different ways?

This Balanced Literacy Presentation is geared towards gaining your audiences engagement by placing value on implementing the components of a balanced literacy. I definitely try to give professional development in a way that I personally learn. Teachers need to be engaged and have a visual connection. I've always used real photographs, diagrams and displays. Teachers also need to be entertained.

Using tightrope training as a hook is a really fascinating topic that ties in well. The point is though it all starts with the balance of your brain to complete the task. From there you will go into looking at left side and right side learners. Then discuss balancing yourself personally and the balance of work and home life. This all then leads into the types of learners our students are and the fact that balance literacy is also differentiating instruction to meet all of our learners. Then you will review the components of balanced literacy and discuss having the 90 minute literacy block. Lastly, always end with a positive note on literacy. The presentation includes notes in the slides of when to use the activities provided in my professional development pack. See below to view the presentation product.
