Archive: Enhancing Literacy Skills with Visible Thinking Strategies
In this three-workshop series, facilitated by Tom Driscoll, learn about a powerful and practical set of strategies known as “visible thinking routines” that can help enhance literacy instruction. Utilizing existing instructional materials, these routines can enhance learners’ ability to activate prior knowledge, make connections and predictions, retain information, thinking critically, and more! We will also explore ways that educational technologies can enhance the impact of these strategies while making lessons more engaging.
In 3 Zoom sessions (90 minutes each), we will discuss:
- Workshop 1 Theme: What are visible thinking routines, how do they help learners, and what do they look like in action?
- Workshop 2 Theme: How can educational technologies enhance visible thinking strategies?
- Workshop 3 Themes: How can I utilize visible thinking strategies with my existing resources?
The training series is three workshops:
- Thursday May 15, 22 and 29 from 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
