This course is designed to help you build your personal and professional capacity toward the new Next Generation ELA standards. Through the course, we will review the standards, their supporting documents, common language of the standards, the role of close reading in the new standards, vocabulary and academic language, writing, academic equity for diverse populations, the NYS Bridging Documents, and creating aligned assessments. While participating in the course, you'll "make and take” an interactive notebook to have as a reference for going forward. Required assignments for this course will be reviewed by the course instructor at the end of the course window, which is June 30, 2021. Following the review process, participants who have submitted all required assignments will receive completion credit in My Learning Plan. (This is a NYSED Continuing Teacher Leader Education (CTLE) course. It may be used for the 100 hour requirement.)
